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 have been eating […]

{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 […]

cookies for two

On November 15, 2009 By

Most nights Jim and I won’t be past the first half of our din­ner before he looks at me with a sly expres­sion and asks, “What do we have for dessert?”

Most often, I try not to have any­thing. I’m not try­ing to be cruel, but after cre­at­ing two cook­books that focused on bak­ing and […]

foodie fights, take two

On September 21, 2009 By

Last week I was cho­sen to par­tic­i­pate in Foodie Fights once again. Being that my first round was less than vic­to­ri­ous, I approached this one with a real sense of deter­mi­na­tion. Thank­fully, the food gods smiled upon me and I was given ingre­di­ents I felt com­pletely com­fort­able with: semolina flour and pome­gran­ates. Not […]

the land of chocolate…

On September 8, 2009 By

*Reminder– my book sign­ing is this Sat­ur­day, Port­land peeps! Come out and claim what is right­fully yours– a cup­cake tat­too in an unmen­tion­able place… or whatever. *

It was Jim’s birth­day last week and I knew I needed to do something good.

Some­thing big.

Some­thing delicious.

My birth­day is this week. With our […]

On August 11, 2009 By

So, I heard the good news today that my book has shipped from the print­ers to the dis­tri­b­u­tion ware­house, so it should be only about 2 more weeks. Yay! I’m very excited about this.

Some­times meals, no mat­ter how promis­ing, fall short of your expec­ta­tions. The fol­low­ing post is a les­son in unex­pected food fails.

On April 21, 2009 By

Hello! I know I haven’t been post­ing very much this month, but I promise that it’s for good rea­son and you’ll soon know why.

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 also […]

i spoke too soon

On April 6, 2009 By

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 chocolate […]
