I read the most delightful article yesterday on This Dish is Veg about Dusty the kleptomaniac cat and wanted to share. Plus, I thought maybe we could all use a little mid week whimsy. Dusty lives in California and goes out every night to burglarize her neighbors yards. She steals anything that isn’t nailed down […]

There is nothing in there you are willing to put yourself through, so you go without. You look up toward the heavens, angrily pumping […]

Photo By: S. Duquet Happy Meatless Monday. I have been curious about fennel. People that like it really seem to like it. It is more exotic than ordinary and I find its flavor kind of aggressive in a sexy way. With its bizarre looks and piquant attitude, fennel is definitely the mysterious guest at the […]

I have seen these nuts at least a half dozen times and have been intrigued. Their packaging is alluring which is a draw for me. I threw them in the cart this time. They are wildly delicious so I wanted to share. Sahale has several nut blends to choose from, but I went right for […]

A month ago or so I shared with you that Sandy and I had launched 2 Edgy Veggies Meatless Monday Meals to go. The idea was to create a gourmet vegan meal-for-one that the client could pick up on Monday morning. They would have a hand crafted meal that had been prepared for them with […]

Happy Halloween and a very scary Meatless Monday. I love Halloween and I really love passing out candy. This is our second year of handing out vegan treats and it feels fantastic to infuse the tradition with compassion by passing out candy without animal products in it. Better for the kids and all living things. […]

Convenience is a critical part of any meal plan. If I can replicate it or make it in a brisk amount of time, I will try. I think that is the reason Broccoli Slaw was invented. It was created by busy people that wanted to eat well on a budget with the opportunity to bust […]
