Happy Meatless Monday. It is going to be a delicious week. Yesterday I spent the entire day creating vegan gift baskets for our friends and family. It was truly divine. We have always given edible gifts, but now they are all vegan and I think that is cool. I made two kinds of hummus, hand […]

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, […]

Happy Meatless Monday. Today we are celebrating the most civilized of all meals, champagne brunch. I love champagne and I love brunch. Together they create an experience, a coming of age for breakfast. Brunch is more like a beloved guest you would invite rather than just the meal you would consume. It is fancy and […]

When I was little my mom would make pecan tarts for the holidays. They were like miniature pecan pies that I could hold in my hand. The shells were crumbly, slightly salty and the most buttery thing I had ever experienced. The filling was sweet and crunchy with caramelized edges. Because each one was a […]

I received a copy of the visually appealing and sassy vegan cookbook, Blissful Bites by Christy Morgan. We decided to jump in and try one of the recipes for tonight’s Half Marathon Celebration party. Sandy whipped up Morgan’s recipe for “Save a Duck Pate”. It is the first dip recipe I have ever seen that […]

One of my favorite snack foods has always been chips and queso dip. I take comfort in the act of dipping. I love the heat and the flavor. There is something otherworldly about a salty tortilla chip with hot cheesy orange sauce. I even loved the not-really-even-nachos from stadiums and church fairs. I have tried […]
