Happy Meatless Monday. Spring finally came to our house and it was a very welcome visitor. Yesterday it was a glorious 70 degrees and all I could think of was firing up the grill. As Sandy and I walked Chloe and Sparky, I could smell all of the grills of our neighbors cooking Sunday dinner. […]

For the 14 years I was a vegetarian before becoming vegan I feared giving up ice cream. I was of course fearful without having all the information for I did not know how unbelievable non dairy ice cream could be.

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 […]

Happy Meatless Monday. A friend of mine from work shared a recipe she had found for a Moroccan style dish that she thought I might like. It has dried fruit, olives, a symphony of spices and sweet potatoes all spilled over couscous. I ‘m in. One of the things that I find so fun about this […]
