Recently I have been enjoying a more minimalistic way of eating than I am used to. It has been food, more simply. When I cook at home I treat our spice cabinet like a supermarket sweep and go crazy. I love spices, I love herbs and honestly, I love the challenge to combine them all. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

We are on the road again, this time travelling to the East coast of Florida.

We have a full tank of gas, a cooler full of vegan edibles and our sleepy Chihuahua. But before we […]
