hello, 2011!

On January 13, 2011 By

Wow, I’m finally get­ting to my first post of the new year. I can’t believe it’s 2011!

Every year I eager antic­i­pate the hol­i­days, to a bit of an extreme. I just love every­thing about the hol­i­day time! The lights, the music, the food, fam­ily, wrap­ping presents… it’s just the best. Unfor­tu­nately, once the new […]

winner, winner, chickpea dinner!

On November 23, 2010 By

When there are lots of things going on in your life at the same time, the first thing to usu­ally go is a good meal plan. Quick fixes and faux meat tend to fill the gaps and I always can always feel it. It makes me slug­gish and just feel icky, frankly.

We’re mid-move […]

ode to my rice cooker

On October 1, 2009 By

I love my rice cooker. It’s one of my best friends in the kitchen, which is ironic because I used to think they were stupid.

This is a very cheap rice cooker. Soon I will be upgrad­ing to a very nice one, but we bought this one as a tester a lit­tle over a […]

So, I’ve had some stuff in my per­sonal life side­track­ing me from blog­ging, so excuse my absence. Things will be back to normal soon.

In the mean­time… reminder:

The Port­land con­tri­bu­tion to the World­wide Vegan Bake Sale is in less than 2 week, on June 20th, at People’s, so please come and eat some […]

There is food being cooked! I haven’t had much to post lately because, frankly, we’ve been eat­ing ter­ri­bly bor­ing food. But I’ve been try­ing to mix it up a lit­tle bit, plus bring back some classics.

Ooh, sur­prise, sur­prise, quinoa! I never could have guessed! Well, I never said it would be thrilling. I […]

playing catch up

On March 31, 2009 By

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, noth­ing, just relaxing. […]

dinner and a workout

On March 15, 2009 By

My beloved Trader Joe’s has added some more vegan good­ies to their store and I am here to share them with you. I swear to my cats that I am not paid by them, because that would be my dream job, rather I am a fanat­i­cal shop­per who you have the for­tune or mis­for­tune of […]

Back to life, back to reality…

On January 6, 2009 By

After three weeks of quasi-working, it’s hard to get back into the swing of things. First, we had the bad weather which had work can­celed and/or I was work­ing from home. Then we had Christ­mas week and New Year’s week… what’s this? 5 con­sec­u­tive days of work? My brain is strug­gling to catch up.

It’s Jan­u­ary […]
