Last night I found one of the most compelling videos inspiring compassionate living that I have ever seen. It was direct and unambiguous. In place of the frequently common, night terror inducing video images of animal cruelty, were carefully placed and impactful images. The absence of excessive gore sucked me in and I was immediately […]

Happy Meatless Monday. Today we are celebrating the most civilized of all meals, champagne brunch. I love champagne and I love brunch.

It was both a blessing and a nightmare. Deadlines were missed and blog posts sat in Word document purgatory. I have […]

Shaped like a muffin or in a tantalizing triangular slice…it is the right addition to any soup, chili or stew. This was my first attempt at veganizing cornbread from scratch. […]
