Earth Day is a week from today. Are you plan­ning on doing any­thing spe­cial to mark the occa­sion? It can be a great time to men­tion to your omniv­o­rous friends the global and eco­log­i­cal ben­e­fits of eat­ing veg­gie and more sea­son­ally (just ’cause it’s a veg­etable doesn’t mean it’s sustainable).

Any good presentation […]

Last sum­mer I ended up inher­it­ing a set of cast iron cake pans. They had been in the fam­ily for sev­eral gen­er­a­tions and are in the shape of 3-D lambs. I wasn’t famil­iar with this tra­di­tion and a lit­tle inter­net research brought me to learn more about these sought-after lamb cake molds.

The tra­di­tion of lamb-shaped […]

On April 8, 2011 By

The win­ner of my Have Your Cake and Vegan Too draw­ing was lucky #12– Jodie! Rest assured there will be more draw­ings to come!

One my favorite cakes grow­ing up was a Mid­west­ern clas­sic– a box of this, a tub of that. Noth­ing fresh, all chem­i­cal. Amer­i­cana at it’s finest.

It was a boxed yellow […]

Every month can be found to have a whole laun­dry list of ran­dom food hol­i­days asso­ci­ated with it. While most of them aren’t really worth men­tion­ing (Lima Bean Respect Day? What does that even mean?), I felt that one of the hol­i­days this month was truly worth celebrating.

Happy National Soft Pretzel Month!

souper easy!

On March 31, 2011 By

Some­times avoid­ing going to the gro­cery store is a nui­sance, like when you end up liv­ing off of stale cereal and ques­tion­ably old soy milk.

Other times, it forces you to use up ran­dom things in your fridge, on the edge of extinc­tion, and deliv­ers deli­cious results.

Thank­fully this is the result of the lat­ter scenario, […]
