Happy first week of the Vegan 30 day Challenge. We have not yet noticed any significant changes except for the fact that we are both always hungry and I am not even kidding. If this has happened to you, please share so we don’t feel like weirdos. Here is a hearty salad I think you […]

We made it through the weekend unscathed with our veganism intact. We were challenged a bit over the weekend (I had a run in with a not vegan bag of lime tortilla chips. My fave) but I did not succumb to their seduction. We brought Sandy’s Vegan Cowgirl BBQ Beans (In the recipe section) to […]

Just saying the term Sunday Dinner brings up a vision of something wonderful. The feeling that it creates is inherent like the way you know how to sneeze. That feeling has not lingered in my consciousness since becoming vegetarian thirteen years ago. That all changed the day that Sandy mastered the art of the Tofurkey […]

We have almost made it through our first official holiday as vegan. Last night we went to an event that is a summer tradition for us and we rocked it vegan style. The event is an outdoor concert featuring the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. They play all of your patriotic faves, concluding with the 1812 Overture […]

Happy First Day of July. I shared with you (6/29 post) the strange notion I had to make my own hummus, which began my new love affair with dried beans. Making hummus is pretty straight forward. The greatest amount of time is spent in Happy first day of the Vegan Challenge. Sandy and I have […]

Happy first day of the Vegan Challenge. Sandy and I have been working up to this day with a lot of label reading, recipe seeking and dairy consumption (clearing out the fridge and pantry). We are ready, bring it on. In the comment section of the June 25th post there are two more recipes from […]

I love things that are convenient. I am not afraid to pay for convenience. In fact, I usually encourage it. Whatever it takes to get the whole foods that are best for you into your body is what I believe. Even if I thought I could make almond milk, I wouldn’t….why would you do that?? […]

Summer is my favorite time of year. Everything inside of me comes alive when the sun is warm and the days are long. I adore summer fruits like watermelon and nectarines and can’t get enough basil and cucumbers. The best thing ever is when it is so warm out that you only crave cold salads […]
