Last night we had the most exciting burritos. They were jam packed with sauteed shrooms, peppers, hand crafted guacamole, hot peppers, cilantro, tomatoes, fresh salsa and cilantro sour cream. I am not even kidding. Snapping the photo before the burrito flung open like a door on a clown car took agility and a strong sandwich […]

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 […]

Becoming vegan has encouraged very strange things to happen to my taste buds. Foods that I have both feared and loathed since birth are now regulars on the shopping list. I have never enjoyed tofu larger than a crumble or in a smoothie and now I am scarfing it down fresh, baked as fish sticks, sauteed […]

I’m back, hopefully with all of my dental woes behind me. It is really a challenge to prepare and enjoy vegetables when you can’t chew. Let the heavy chewing commence in a few days! Kale, be very afraid. Lately I have been noshing (read slurping or sucking) on alot of smoothies and looking forward to […]

It’s Sandy stepping in to share a little recipe lovin’ with you. Sherry had a root canal and is currently sleeping through a pain medicine induced state of bliss. Perhaps there is irony in a food blogger not being able to chew, just a funny little universal joke. She’ll be back in full swing […]

Before the vegan challenge I had pizza nearly once a week. We had it delivered from our local joint. It was amazing…dripping with garlic butter crust and topped with veggies and olives. I also ordered a greek salad and cheezy bread sticks that I would dip in ranch dressing. It was one of my […]
