3/16 Birthday Wish

Since becoming vegan, I have created a flourishing list of vegan restaurants that I would like to visit.  There are  restaurants all around the globe creating legendary vegan edibles and it would be irresponsible of me not to try them all.  Florida boasts one of these legendary spots that I’ve longed to go,  Darbster Waterside Bistro in Palm […]

3/14 Irish Soda Bread

This recipe for Irish Soda Bread is one of my favorites. I have shared it before and now believe that not sharing it would be nothing short of a crime against St Patrick. I bake it this time of year as a seasonal fave, but also enjoy it at other times throughout the year. This crusty […]

3/13 Get Hungry

Have you heard of the philosophy that when the student is ready the teacher or master will appear? I have found that to be true time and time again. In the same spirit,  the movie, Hungry For Change has entered my conversations and consciousness a dozen times in the past two months. My friend Lisa recommended […]

3/11 Dark Chocolate Cashew Tarts

Happy Meatless Monday. As if we need another reason to adore avocados?  They are quite possibly the most amenable fruit available.  They want to be blended, cubed or stuffed, frozen, deep fried or consumed in the raw.   You prefer them savory, sure thing.  Need a  dessert…no problem. I created a mousse with avocado, dates, cocoa […]

3/7 Wildlife Adventures

After our Atlanta adventures we traveled to Jupiter, Florida. On our first full day there we went to  Busch Wildlife Sanctuary where they are dedicated to wildlife preservation through conservation, rehabilitation and education.  Established in 1983, the sanctuary  was originally designed to care for sick and injured wild animals. In 1989 they were able to expand their efforts […]

3/5 Striking Gold

We had the most wonderful time in Dahlonega, Georgia, where we went to Consolidated Gold Mine.  We took an underground gold mine tour and then panned for our very own gold.  The tour itself lead us more than two hundred feet underground in damp, cool tunnels that were virtually unchanged from the 1800’s except for a line strung with […]

2/22 Vegan Grub Crawl part three

Our last stop on our Atlanta Vegan Grub Crawl was Healthful Essence, a Caribbean vegan/vegetarian restaurant, featuring Jamaican specialties.  As we walked through the door we were greeted by reggae music and the smell of incense and spicy things. They have a rotating menu of raw as well as cooked dishes to choose from. The […]

2/20 Vegan Grub Crawl part deux

We are on the road again, this time travelling to the East coast of Florida. The plan is to celebrate my birthday, see our nephews and niece Isabella and reacquaint ourselves with warmth and sunshine.  We have a full tank of gas, a cooler full of vegan edibles and our sleepy Chihuahua. But before we […]

2/18 Vegan Grub Crawl part 1

Happy Meatless Monday. I love talking to you about vegan travel because before I went vegan, I believed that traveling as one would be a challenge. Over the past few years I have come to realize that isn’t the case at all. It is just as easy to have your Meatless Monday or meatless any […]

2/14 Is Bourbon Vegan?

Happy Love Yourself Day friends. Hope your day has been filled with joy of your own making. We are back on the road headed to Atlanta. The sun is shining and the farther South we drive, the warmer the air gets.  Chloe is making the back seat adorable and Sandy is driving us through the […]
