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. […]

outside our vegan bubble

On March 23, 2009 By

It’s easy to insulate yourself in the wonderful world of veggies and forget that there are other brands, products and forms of life out there. I’ve come across two things related to veganism in mainstream culture that I thought you’d all be interested in.

The first one came in a coupon book I received in […]

excitement!

On March 18, 2009 By

So, have you ever googled yourself?

Seriously now, don’t lie.

We’ve all done it. It’s kind of silly, but it’s fun to see what comes up, if anything. Like there is a guy in the Midwest with Jim’s name who owns a chain of funeral homes, so whenever you google him that’s all you find.

why doesn’t healthy taste quite as good sweet and carby?

On March 5, 2009 By

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 call […]

goodness in a bowl

On February 26, 2009 By

Some of the best things in life come in bowls. Ice cream, cereal, pudding, all good things indeed. But wholesome meals can come in bowls, too.

Like pesto pasta:

Sure, you don’t have to eat pasta in a bowl… but I think it’s tastes better this way. 🙂 This pasta is whole wheat […]
