chocolate nut milk showdown

On August 8, 2010 By

Chocolate almond milk has always been staple in our house. It’s just SO good! When stocking up last week, I noticed something new- chocolate hazelnut milk! Pacific has also started carrying their own hemp milk, so we decided to have a nut milk showdown. The judges were: myself and my little brother […]

On June 16, 2010 By

Okay, so writing 800 words per day is clearly not working for me right now. You win some, you lose some. Alas, I do have an excuse and it doesn’t involve procrastination. On Sunday I am taking a huge professional certification exam for work that has pretty much been ruling my life for the past […]

Happy New Year!

Did you celebrate the New Year in any special way? Dinner, family, friends? Jim and I were feeling a little under the weather (sadly a New Year’s tradition with one of us, usually) so we laid low and watch reruns of Seinfeld on my laptop. So exciting. 🙂

As cliched as it […]

a review and vegan baking on the tv…

On December 30, 2009 By

I’m in love.

I adore Portland. I love it so much that even thought Seattle has superior Asian cuisine and Mighty O Donuts, I am still always happy to see the Portland skyline when we arrive back in town, home of my beloved Blossoming Lotus, Proper Eats, Black Sheep and many, many […]

thanksgiving wrap-up

On November 29, 2009 By

There are plenty of good things to be thankful for this time of year- an awesome husband, good fur kids (even if we do mostly refer to them as “the jerks), a great new job, my health- but what I truly appreciate and am humbled by my husband’s family.
