This weekend we have the opportunity to see Born To Be Wild, a 3D nature documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman. We were given a pair of complimentary tickets so it is like date night for free with an animal movie in 3D. It is similar to winning the vegan lottery. Now all I have to […]

Happy Meatless Monday. I have a recipe for a soup that is going to elevate your love for your stock pot. I have never really met a soup that I have considered sublime or mind boggling until now. The flavor of this soup is so layered that you could easily assume it had taken the […]

One of my most fave flavor profiles is Mexican. I love the sweet and the savory and the heat of Mexican/tex mex/fresh mex/Mayan inspired edibles. I shared the Black Bean Burgers with you a few weeks ago. They were an enormous hit in this house and we have enjoyed them over and over since the […]

I have worked at Trader Joe’s (an inexpensive gourmet food store) since November. In that time, I have been introduced to many fruits and vegetables that I have never seen before. One of the most recent ones is Baby Kiwi. I had never heard of these little gems until a week ago. Since then I […]
