date-licious

On January 6, 2012 By

So this is a quick Treat of the Week that I feel is a cheat because:

1.) It’s not actually my recipe
2.) It’s not so much a recipe as it is food assembly

Alas, it’s in alignment with my cleanse. Oh yes, and it’s delicious.

I used this recipe, but […]

the smell of soup season

On September 14, 2011 By

Nature giveth and she taketh away.

I think she took summer.

It took a long time for summer to finally make its appearance in the Pacific Northwest, so I couldn’t help but feel a little slighted last night, as I begrudgingly pulled an extra blanket onto the bed. But while I long to soak up […]

gimme your greens! (and a giveaway!)

On August 29, 2011 By

So awhile ago, the kind people at Clearly Fresh contacted me to see if I was interested in reviewing their produce storage bags. I’m a long time user of Debbie Meyer Green Bags, so I was happy to put them to the test.

tasty, yummy cookie bites…

On April 22, 2011 By

I have a dirty little secret.

I love Laura’s Wholesome Junk Food. Like, a little too much. Have you ever tried them? They were the first store-bought vegan cookie I ever tried and all these years later I still love coming back for more. They are a treat, but made with whole foods ingredients […]

seussical st. patty’s soup

On March 17, 2011 By

Green eggs and ham not only sounds disgusting, but is also likely to induce stomach aches if you’ve indulged in too much green beer. But some refreshing and naturally green soup, chocked full of roasted garlic, white beans and greens, is sure to help detox that liver and perk you up.

me lucky oats

On March 16, 2011 By

I will admit that sometimes I judge things by their cover. Sometimes you can’t help it though!

For years I longed to buy a can of McCann’s Irish Oats in the metal tin. It looked so retro and cool! And it’s from Ireland! OMG!!!!1! (Don’t you love how illogical the consumer’s brain is?) But […]
