Food poisoning update: Sandy and I are nearly at full strength and last night we enjoyed our first real meal since Monday. It was the most succulent veggie dog I have ever had. Thank you for all of your kind words and healing wishes. I appreciate them very much. Yesterday as I walked around our […]

I believe in signs and cues, an inner feeling, a knowing, a dream that repeats or a topic that comes up randomly in multiple conversations. I strive to listen with more than my ears and act on it when I know how. This openness has not let me down. Oddly enough, this continues to happen […]

We all strive to get the nutrients we need to be energized and healthy from the foods that we eat. When we are on our game, we cook beautiful meals for ourselves and plan foods that are complementary for maximum benefits. But, sometimes you just need to fill the void, tame the snarling pit in […]

Once the journey of this vegan life began, I knew there would be multifarious changes that had nothing to do with food. Some of them obvious, some of them not so much. Once I started to rethink and recreate the life I have always known, it took on the inertia of a rock rolling downhill. […]

I have the coolest present to give away!! It’s a prize pack from our friends at Amy’s Organics. They sent the most fantastic “swag” to share with Exploits readers because they loved the notion that together we are changing the world one meal at a time. So here’s the goods; a T-shirt in the most […]

Sunflower Greens are my new addiction. When they are in the house I eat them all. When they are gone, I think about them and wish there were more. Eating a sandwich without them is like PB without J. You wouldn’t do it unless you had a an impeccable replacement. I was introduced to them […]

It has been the most amazing Michigan summer I can ever remember. It has been scorching and sunny and the sky has perpetually been the most dramatic hue of blue. For me it has been the best days of the very best season. One of my favorite things about summer is craving salads. I love […]

Over the weekend we splurged on a box of new veggie burgers, Amy’s Quarter Pound Veggie Burgers. They are organic, vegan and crafted with non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) ingredients. I put them in the cart feeling more skeptical than optimistic. What could they possibly do to this thing that hasn’t already been done? They are more […]

A wonderful friend of ours gave us a bottle of Kombucha Tea to experience so I brought it out at Movie Night. When you bill an evening at your home as “Mind Expanding,” I feel like you should deliver. I opened the bottle and immediately smelled the sediment filled liquid. It is my thing…I am […]
