Only a few short months ago, making an entire meal out of a mushroom would have been unheard of. I was relatively ambivalent about the fungi but I could have gotten Sandy to eat a live goldfish before she would have eaten a mushroom. But now, here we are with constantly changing taste-buds and new […]

It’s Sandy stepping in to share a little recipe lovin’ with you. Sherry had a root canal and is currently sleeping through a pain medicine induced state of bliss. Perhaps there is irony in a food blogger not being able to chew, just a funny little universal joke. She’ll be back in full swing […]

I’ve always been more than casually interested in the beautiful bouquets of decoratively cut fruit that are available for sending as gifts. It is an entire arrangement that is edible…what a strange and fantastic idea. The one thing that has always been my sticking point when considering sending one is the cost. They are down […]

January first marked six months of being vegan, an unexpected delight. I didn’t plan for the new year to be a milestone, it simply turned out that way as we continued this journey. What began as a 30 day experiment in July has transitioned into a new way of experiencing life. When we started the […]

As a new year dawns I feel excited, grateful and somewhat consumed with open ended questions…. What new adventures will I embark on this year? Whose path will I cross for the first time and what new places will I roam in search of vegan edibles and experiences? My challenge has always been to allow […]

Since the very beginning of the Vegan Challenge I have been giving it my all to embrace greens. I have made smoothies out of Kale and eaten raw tacos out of Collards. We have purchased bunch after bunch in an attempt to truly fall in love. It hadn’t happened until now…I have been wooed by […]
