The other day I found a new-to-me package of breakfast pitas called Morning Rounds by the Ozery Bakery in Toronto.  According to the Ozery site, “… our business is based upon this simple foundation: Our bodies deserve the best possible fuel. And our commitment to quality and service is at the core of our daily […]

6/2 This Little Piggy

A video from Reasons to Go Veg.com popped into my inbox yesterday. It made me laugh out loud because it is so silly and wonderful.  It is titled Reason #12 Pigs Are Smarter Than Dogs  (except of course Sparky and Chloe). It is less than a minute and worth the watch. Enjoy. http://reasonstogovegan.com/ Have a […]

6/1 Sprouted Lentil Burgers

I am a newbie sprouter and really enjoying it. It is easier and less expensive than I imagined it would be. It has been exciting and almost immediately satisfying to grow your own food on your kitchen counter in a mason jar. A good friend of Exploits and writer of the blog  JL Goes Vegan, […]

5/31 Veg Paella

For Christmas I gave Sandy the most beautiful paella pan. It is huge. So huge in fact we could both sit in it and use it for sledding if we really wanted to.  My not entirely subtle hope was that she would venture into making this Spanish sensation into a vegan dish one day soon. […]

5/25 Take Me Out To The Ball Game

My favorite summertime sporting event to attend is a home town baseball game. The sun is always shining, the beer is always cold and you get to sing out loud, really loud during the seventh inning stretch. Ever since the first 70 degree day I have been looking forward to going to a game. Even […]

5/24 In A Pinch Homemade Baked Beans

The other night we were planning to BBQ corn, veggie dogs and eggplant. It was a warm and sunny day and I had been waiting for our Grill-Fest all day.   When we pulled out the veggie dogs and were getting them ready for the grill, we realized that we didn’t have any buns. Darn. […]

5/23 Happy Meatless Monday-Fried Green Tomato, Cajun Tempeh Sandwiches

A few years ago while visiting Sandy’s parents in the South we went to a tiny restaurant called The Fickle Pickle. Their shining star is the fried green tomato sandwich.  At the time, tomatoes topped my list of food foes. But here I was, given the opportunity to taste a historically amazing sandwich with a […]

5/20 Ginger Lemon Cream Pie w/ Blackberry Compote

A few days ago a friend of ours gave us a package of the most sensational Blackberries. They were so good in fact that I wanted to do something special with them. I knew immediately that they wanted to be with lemon. I found an incredibly tasty and easy recipe for a lemon, tofu pie […]
