cracked is a little whack…

Hello there!
I hope January was fruitful for everyone. Can you believe it’s February ALREADY?! 2010 is shaping up to fly by fast.
Other than being busy, not much has changed over here… my pistachio kick is still holding strong. I just can’t get enough of their complex aroma, flavor, color… nom. I [...]

oh fudgies!

{unrelated sidenote: I am getting very low on my own stock of The 100 Best Vegan Baking Recipes and I don’t plan on reordering. If you want to purchase an autographed copy (along with nom! nom! nom! buttons!) in time for the holiday and before I run out, you might want to click [...]

My friend, Ximena, had a birthday on Saturday and I had an appointment at her shop on Sunday. She is the vegetarian tattoo artist and shop owner (vegan tattoos!) who [...]

Apparently my friend Joe heard that I had fallen off of the chocolate wagon and came to my rescue.
I swear, Trader Joe’s just keeps rolling out more vegan goodness. It’s like a new, animal-free surprise every time I shop. The treat this week, dark chocolate mint “UFOs”.

They are basically hugely oversized [...]

Hello! I’ve been so busy that my camera has just been accumulating pictures for the past few weeks. Last week I officially finished the book manuscript (yay!!!!!!!) and got that sent off and last week was technically spring break, so I took some time off to just be wireless. No internet, email, [...]

Mmmm… breakfast. Have I mentioned how much I love breakfast yet?
Thanks to the waffle cart in North Portland, Flavour Spot, I fell in love with maple butter and veggie sausage waffle sandwiches a few years ago. But I’m too lazy to make waffles, so we sling pancakes on the griddle and [...]
