8/29 Creamy Curried Cauliflower Soup

Happy Meatless Monday. Yesterday I was staring at a head of cauliflower that I had purchased several days earlier with high hopes. It was now sitting on the counter for maybe the fifth day, begging me to make it into something or put it out of its misery. When I am in the produce aisle, […]

8/24 No Beast Feast

I found this article on This Dish is Veg and thought it was really fascinating so wanted to share. I have to admit I was (am) envious when I read about Kristin’s plans. How exciting!! Maybe if I ask nicely she would come to Michigan for some vegan cuisine and Exploits conversation. I will keep […]

8/23 Whip It

I finally broke down and tried  whippable soy topping. I have picked it up and passed it up a half dozen times. It was not until I was going to create the Peach Galette that  the Soyatoo! whipped topping seemed critical. It feels unfathomable  to have pie or Galette without a la mode or whipped topping. The […]

8/16 Hydration Manifestation & Rails-to-Kale Trails

As our runs have continued to get longer and longer, the need for hydration throughout the run has become greater. Coach Kelly recommended a hydration belt which holds four 8oz bottles of liquid and has a little pocket for (kale) chapstick or our energy gels. I researched the belts online and found out they were […]

8/15 Happy Meatless Monday, Mediterranean Rolls

I have found that I am most successful at integrating lifestyle changes when I take it one step at a time. Sometimes easing into things helps me feel more successful and encourages me to continue trying. Many times I have been temporarily inspired by desire but then unable or unwilling to sustain my new habit. […]

8/12 Green Tomato Pesto

Image Courtesy of 4seasonsgreenhouse.net The necessity to use the abundance of green tomatoes we had, the desire for a quickie meal and the love of all things green were the collective inspiration for this dish. We threw everything in the food processor, boiled pasta, wilted kale and had a stunning meal. Photo By: S. Duquet […]
