Smoothies are such an easy way to infuse your day with green. This is a recipe I made up for the most luscious, smooth and creamy green smoothie. It is abundant with healthy fat, greens and potassium. The flavor is so luxurious that it reminded me of Haagen-Dazs Honey Vanilla ice cream, one of my […]

I made chicken and dumplings for the very first time years after I had already become vegetarian. I have no idea what it is about deciding to never eat chicken again that encouraged me to make chicken and dumplings but there it is.
