6/22 Better To Have Loved

While touring one of the organic farms over the weekend we were introduced to garlic scapes. As the bulb of garlic is maturing in the ground, the plant is producing long seductive tendrils called garlic scapes, above ground. Photo By: S. Duquet The farmer snips the scapes so the plant doesn’t give its growing energy […]

6/9 You’re Drinking What?

I thought this comic strip was fun and wanted to share. Sometimes hearing or reading information I have already heard but in a different way can really click with me or make more sense. This comic does that because it is straight forward and lacking the emotional baggage that can sometimes accompany vegany or animal […]

6/8 Helen’s GardenSteaks-Love Them

As the story goes, Stephen grew up enjoying his moms legendary tofu steaks. Out of all the veg dishes in Helen’s repertoire, her tofu steaks were the most requested by friends and family. Stephen asked his mom if he could turn her specialty into a family business and she obliged, on one condition, ” if you […]

5/31 Veg Paella

For Christmas I gave Sandy the most beautiful paella pan. It is huge. So huge in fact we could both sit in it and use it for sledding if we really wanted to.  My not entirely subtle hope was that she would venture into making this Spanish sensation into a vegan dish one day soon. […]

5/16 Happy Meatless Monday & Golden Sun Soup

This weekend we had the most wonderful time at a huge outdoor market. We found gorgeous produce, local foods and a new-to-us treasure, yellow-eyed peas. They are as beautiful and unique looking as their black counterparts but appear to have been touched by gold. I had never seen these before and was very intrigued. We […]

Today we are teaching our third vegan cooking class. The theme is “Grill It” and  I am very excited. The moment the temperature goes above 50 degrees I crave the taste of grilled edibles. We are offering a menu of alternatives to traditional grilling foods that will create beautiful and impressive food in a really […]

5/6 Portobello Steak Sandwiches

Only a few short months ago, making an entire meal out of a mushroom would have been unheard of. I was relatively ambivalent about the fungi but I could have gotten Sandy to eat a live  goldfish before she would have eaten a mushroom. But now, here we are with constantly changing taste-buds and new […]

5/2 Moroccan Style Curry

Happy Meatless Monday. A friend of mine from work shared a recipe she had found  for a Moroccan style dish that she thought I might like. It has dried fruit, olives, a symphony of spices and sweet potatoes all spilled over couscous. I ‘m in. One of the things that I find so fun about this […]

4/26 Red Beans & Kale Over Quinoa

Beans and greens are a low cost, nutrient rich, flavor packed meal. They are easy to make and easy to love. Sandy could eat beans and greens for every meal, everyday.  I found a recipe for red beans with kale and quinoa in the Engine 2 book and Sandy whipped it up.  Just between us, […]

4/13 Will Run for Food

Like most people on the planet, yesterday was a busy day  filled with obligations and time lines. By the end of the afternoon I still wanted Sandy and I to go for a run and we needed to go to the farm market for leeks and shrooms to round out our dinner plan. It was […]
