Yesterday I promised to share with you in today’s post about a vegan cheese that was new to us, called Sheese. We’ve sampled a few of their products and here is the first scoop about some of this non-dairy cheesy delight. I used the Gouda to make the Garlicky, Gouda Croutons that topped the roasted veggie […]

Thanksgiving at our house started with Meals on Wheels deliveries and eased into a full day movie marathon. We continued with our Hitchcock addiction and added a few other movies for a dose of sanity. One of the non-Hitchcock movies we watched was Chicken Run from Dreamworks. It is an animated movie set on a […]

Hi my name is Sherry and I am addicted to lip balm. I don’t know when or how it began, but this is my reality. The tricky part is that even though my addiction is out of control, I am kind of particular about it. Over the counter balm wont appease the monkey on my […]

The first Michigan snow fall has come and gone . It was hardly a dusting but it still sent me reeling with the need to stock the pantry with cans of soup. It is my perceived protection against a winter chill (or a starving belly). It is like my survival plan. We make soup at […]

I have developed an Alfred Hitchcock obsession. I had never seen a Hitchcock thriller until three weeks ago and now I am honestly addicted. It all began with Rear Window starring the bewitching Grace Kelly and Jimmy Stewart. The plot moved so slowly that it literally terrorized my mind. We are so used to […]

Pillows of pasta stuffed with artichokes lemon, soy ricotta and olives. Yum, double yum. Ravioli is a quick and soul satisfying meal. I found the most exciting brand of raviolis in the freezer section and wanted to share. They are from a company called Rising Moon Organics. They have an appealing and functional website where […]

A few days ago when I read about “The Happy Meal Art Project,” I could not let it go or stop thinking about it (10/13 post). The conversation is so compelling that it lead us to want to learn more and rent Supersize Me. If you are not familiar with the movie Supersize Me it […]

A few weeks ago I overheard two women talking about an apple I have never heard of, the Honey Crisp. The same day, I heard a radio commercial for the Honey Crisp. Really? Being from Michigan, we know apples. Apples are one of the things we grow in abundance. They were discussing this varietal like […]

We all strive to get the nutrients we need to be energized and healthy from the foods that we eat. When we are on our game, we cook beautiful meals for ourselves and plan foods that are complementary for maximum benefits. But, sometimes you just need to fill the void, tame the snarling pit in […]

Once the journey of this vegan life began, I knew there would be multifarious changes that had nothing to do with food. Some of them obvious, some of them not so much. Once I started to rethink and recreate the life I have always known, it took on the inertia of a rock rolling downhill. […]
