I have shared with you before that Sandy is a lover of cheese. Her commitment to loving cheese was so solid that when I decided to try going vegan I was sure it would be a solo attempt. Much to my delight and surprise, Sandy tried the vegan thing as well and we have been […]

We love to entertain, especially during the holidays. We deck out the house and compile a shopping list to feature some of our favorite foods.

I am sure you have guessed by now…we love to cook. But one thing we love more than cooking is simplicity. Being vegan or healthy or satisfied shouldn’t be hard.

Sandy grew up in Miami which helped her develop a sassy palate and love of Cuban and Latino inspired foods. We both love cumin, lime and all things with a kick.

Here’s the yummy truth of my adoration for the love of olives. I love them green, I love them black, I love them Kalamata, I love them spicy, I love them all. Perhaps I will find an olive entree soon, but until that day we’ll eat them as a condiment, a side dish, an […]

A few weeks ago a comment came in about the Oreo Cookie pie crust I used to create the Play In The Mudd Pie. One of Exploits readers was cool enough to write in to tell me that when she had looked up the ingredient list of the crust on the Nabisco website, the list […]

Yesterday I promised to share with you in today’s post about a vegan cheese that was new to us, called Sheese. We’ve sampled a few of their products and here is the first scoop about some of this non-dairy cheesy delight. I used the Gouda to make the Garlicky, Gouda Croutons that topped the roasted veggie […]

Over the weekend we were given a handful of butternut squash that had been grown by my niece and nephew. They are in elementary school and have a voracious appetite for growing veggies (love that). Because I know how lovingly this squash had been cared for, I felt it was my obligation and honor to […]
