Yesterday we ran our very last long run before the race. We waited for the warmest part of the day which didn’t ever come or exist. It was 30ish under a dark and gray sky. It was difficult to leave the warmth of the Veggie Van but we are at the very end of our […]

Imagine you are starving. You are at your place of business, at school or in an airport. Your options are limited…very limited to the row of vending machines by the restrooms. There is nothing in there you are willing to put yourself through, so you go without. You look up toward the heavens, angrily pumping […]

Photo By: S. Duquet Happy Meatless Monday. I have been curious about fennel. People that like it really seem to like it. It is more exotic than ordinary and I find its flavor kind of aggressive in a sexy way. With its bizarre looks and piquant attitude, fennel is definitely the mysterious guest at the […]

I love peanut butter. I love it like an addiction, something I can’t live without….like air. I crave desserts made with it, enjoy entrees created with it and enjoy it sitting atop a huge soup spoon. I usually enjoy that last one when no one is home like its a fifth of vodka hidden in […]

Happy Halloween and a very scary Meatless Monday. I love Halloween and I really love passing out candy. This is our second year of handing out vegan treats and it feels fantastic to infuse the tradition with compassion by passing out candy without animal products in it. Better for the kids and all living things. […]

Convenience is a critical part of any meal plan. If I can replicate it or make it in a brisk amount of time, I will try. I think that is the reason Broccoli Slaw was invented. It was created by busy people that wanted to eat well on a budget with the opportunity to bust […]
