I have to admit that after watching the movie Food Matters I have really been thinking alot about vitamin supplements. I have always been a now and then consumer of supplements. I would be diligent for a while and then fall off the vitamin wagon. I would read something about vitamin fill in the blank […]

Happy Meatless, enjoy more Monday. Okay, I added that part but I like it. I am in the mood for something that tastes like Summer and fills me up like a vegan Mamma bear in Winter. If only I had some Brown Rice Summer Salad. There is a restaurant called Inn Season that makes a […]

Motivated by an illness in their own family, they set out on a journey to find out the truth about nutrition, illness and wellness. Food Matters discusses food as the key to wellness, disease […]

The other night we went to a vegan Pop Up Restaurant and had the most amazing Thai food. For dessert they served a sweet rice pudding that was out of this world. I created a similar version, coconut jasmine rice pudding using coconut milk. For a delish crunch I topped the warm pudding with toasted […]

When we first became vegan I felt overwhelmed. I was overwhelmed by all the new things that I felt I didn’t know and by what I perceived were the rules of engagement of being vegan. Avoiding all dairy and honey felt like the least of my concerns. Make your wardrobe and shoe collection cruelty free, […]

Happy Meatless Monday. I love Thai food anywhere, any place, any time. I love it for dinner, for lunch, for a snack, re-heated for breakfast, yes, it’s true for breakfast too. From my shoes, the only thing better than enjoying Thai food out is dining on homemade Thai food in my own home. Smelling aromas […]

The other day I had the opportunity to try Vanilla Hemp Milk for the first time. I really don’t have any idea why I didn’t try it sooner but I have to admit, I have been pretty stuck on lovin Soy Milk and just recently tried and fell in love with Almond Milk. Like many […]

Sometimes your body and mind need a pick me up. But, sometimes in the middle of the day (or night or mid morning) I crave chocolate that is decadent and nutritionally barren because it feels like a good idea at the time, when what my body is really in need of is something that is […]
