Happy Meatless Monday. I thought it would be fun to share two completely different menus for Memorial Day planning. This way, you will have plenty of time to shop and incorporate some vegan dishes for your Memorial Day celebrations. Because our gardens are not yet in full swing, you may need to purchase produce or […]

A few months ago I read about an organization called Girls On The Run and fell in love. Taken straight from their site, “Girls on the Run is a life-changing, experiential learning program for girls age eight to thirteen years old. The programs combine training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. […]

I love Brussel sprouts. I love their hearty texture and pungent flavor. I really like the huge stalk they grow on and that they look like miniature cabbage. It seems like they are a polarizing edible, either you are a lover of the Brussel or an adversary. This dish could bring you to the dark side […]

Happy Meatless Monday. I have the most fun, Summery dessert to share with you. Over the weekend Sandy’s parents were staying with us from Atlanta.

Yesterday at work I was asked to make a dish for the staff using a recipe from our TraderJoes.com website. I chose a quinoa salad because it was vegan (I like to eat on the job too), sounded great and did not require a Herculean amount of work to assemble. The staff absolutely went wild […]

In Cozumel I fell in love with Coconut Stuffed Limes. I had them at breakfast, with lunch and for dessert after dinner. They are lime halves, delicately yet generously stuffed with the sweetest most succulent coconut. Ever since our plane landed I have been looking for ways to recapture the joy and the flavor of […]

We are home from our first all inclusive trip to Cozumel. I have missed writing and am happy to have my laptop in my lap again. I kept a daily log so I could share some of the mayhem and joy of the past week with you. Day 1. Photo By: S. Duquet Fresh squeezed juice […]

Last night I found one of the most compelling videos inspiring compassionate living that I have ever seen. It was direct and unambiguous. In place of the frequently common, night terror inducing video images of animal cruelty, were carefully placed and impactful images. The absence of excessive gore sucked me in and I was immediately […]

Happy Meatless Monday. Today I have a recipe for the type of baked good that will rejuvenate or give rise to your joy of baking.

One of my favorite foods in the world has always been Tzatziki, the cucumber Greek yogurt sauce most commonly served with Greek food. I used to devour it with pita and on sandwiches of all kinds. I haven’t had it since we went vegan. I have not even tried to veganize it in my own […]
