keeping it real earthy
Yogurt and I have a long and sordid history where I love it but it doesn't agree with me. Back when I used to eat dairy and ignore the fact that I was most definitely lactose intolerant, yogurt was the one dairy product that could make me be physically sick within a half hour of …
One of my struggles, as a new vegan, is what to bring to potlucks and parties. I hate going to someone's house empty handed when I've been invited over for dinner but I also don't want to bring something that people are going to think of as 'rabbit food' or typical 'vegan fare'. Bruschetta is …
What is it about chocolate chip cookies that makes them so classic? I think it's because they're so simple. One of the recipes I most wanted to try was this one. I had a killer chocolate chip cookie recipe from my pre-vegan days that all my friends and family adored but that I can no …

Sandwiches and I have never been friends. To be honest, I just don't see the hype. I've never liked them and I feel like this has something to do with my aversion to many of the sandwich's best condiments: mustard, relish and...(duh duh DUH!) mayo. I was also never a lover of deli meats in …
In case you don't live on a rock in the middle of the ocean, like I do, you might be under the impression that it is, in fact, spring. Well, the view from my window would beg to differ. So, as I sit, cooped up in the house, hiding from my shovelling duties under a …
I have tried to start a blog for years. I start it, with a determined effort to actually write every day or every week and it slowly falls apart. I always start with the greatest intentions but, as they say, the best laid plans of mice and men, and whatnot. This time it will be …
