Yesterday I read that pop musician Jason Mraz has chosen a plant-based lifestyle and now I have yet another reason to listen to his CD’s. It made me think about the number of people I’ve encountered or read about in the past year, who have begun adding more plant-based foods into their diets or […]

Sandy came up the ultimate quiche recipe for her brunch on Sunday. We did a dry run last night before the birthday bash on Sunday. Afterall, what would a brunch be if there wasn’t quiche? Quiche and brunch are synonymous like gin and tonic or shoes and socks, they just go together as soon […]

Detroit sits amidst the […]

When we were in Florida, Sandy’s mom made a soup for all of us. It was a surprise and she brought all the ingredients from Atlanta. She made her super secret vegan soup on the evening of the race as we rested, swam and basked in our exhuberance. It was exactly what we needed to […]

Snacking is addictive…healthful snacking is like volunteering…good for everyone involved. Sahale snacks have stolen my heart (turned me into an addict, see this earlier Post). They have a new nut blend that I wanted to share. Imagine if you will, pecans, cherries, walnuts and apples encrusted in maple and scented with cinnamon. They are crunchy, […]
