Thanksgiving at our house started with Meals on Wheels deliveries and eased into a full day movie marathon. We continued with our Hitchcock addiction and added a few other movies for a dose of sanity. One of the non-Hitchcock movies we watched was Chicken Run from Dreamworks. It is an animated movie set on a […]

Before we get to the food, I have an amazing addition to the giveaway…. a one of a kind cuff that tells the world you are VEGAN or a vegan wannabe and proud! Frankly, I would wear this as a conversation piece even if I weren’t vegan. It is hand crafted with love from recycled […]

I love cranberry sauce from a can and am not ashamed to admit it. I crave cranberries with my Tofurky and have not yet tasted a fresh sauce that I love as much as a good solid can of whole berry sauce. It is like survival food because it comes out of the can looking […]

Hi my name is Sherry and I am addicted to lip balm. I don’t know when or how it began, but this is my reality. The tricky part is that even though my addiction is out of control, I am kind of particular about it. Over the counter balm wont appease the monkey on my […]

I go to sleep at night looking forward to breakfast. Leaving the house without breakfast would be tantamount to leaving without a top on…I just wouldn’t do it. Sometimes I crave oatmeal or smoothies, while other mornings I wake up wanting savory things like hummus or left over Tofurky. On weekends, breakfast can stretch out […]

With that in mind I wanted to create a holiday worthy, Gimme Five dessert that would be ridiculously easy and […]

I have always believed that the most intimate and thoughtful gift you could give was something edible, especially from your own kitchen. Making food for someone takes time, effort and a biggie dose of love. I found this recipe for a bountiful trail mix in our Sunday paper. I changed it a smidge and made […]
