It’s been nearly a month since Eric and I radically shifted our diets and starting juicing heavily. About six weeks ago, my dad watched the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and got inspired to do a juice fast to heal himself. Eric and I watched the film also and thought it would be cool to […]

Raw Buckwheat Granola with Homemade Vanilla Hemp Milk
This weekend, I spent Saturday morning with a friend who I haven’t seen in ages. We went for a lovely walk at Lincoln Park along the water and then stopped in at Chaco Canyon Café in West Seattle on our way home for a little brunch. I’ve been doing a juice fast and/or eating only raw foods […]
2013 ICAS Conference “(De)Colonized Bodies, (De)Colonized Lives” Talk
The Institute for Critical Animal Studies Conference this year was wonderful — I met and reconnected with so many great people and saw some really interesting talks. The ICAS organizers live-streamed all the talks so that people who could not attend the conference in person could still participate (both as speakers and audience members). Dylan […]
Pride Pops (aka Rainbow Fruit Popsicles)
It’s been hot hot hot here in Seattle — not nearly as hot as other parts of the country, but still quite toasty. Record high temps across all of the western US. I wouldn’t want to be in Death Valley right now, that’s for sure. This past weekend was Pride and what better way to celebrate […]
Summer Salad with Balsamic, Strawberries and Pinenuts
We’re at the peak of strawberry season right now and I’ve been eating strawberries almost constantly — in my oatmeal, as a snack, as a topping for waffles, and now, in salads. The chickens who live in our backyard absolutely love when I cut the strawberry tops off and take them out for them to enjoy. […]
Vida Vegan Con 2013 Highlights
I’m finally getting around to recapping the highlights of my Vida Vegan Con experience. VVC is a vegan bloggers conference in Portland, OR. Portland is really the perfect location for it because of its vegan mecca status and because it’s generally just such a wonderful, walkable city. I had a great time — balanced between […]
Cinnamon Rolls (Vegan and Gluten Free)
First things first — I joined Instagram, and have to say (somewhat embarrassingly) that I’m loving seeing other people’s pictures and sharing some of my own. I’d love it if you wanted to follow me on Instagram! And Facebook, too! ANYWAY, the other day, I saw a post by The Gay Vegans about their […]
May Blooms
Our garden is a little haven of joy and beauty and pollination right now. I posted a week or two ago pictures of the current garden blooms. This week, we’ve got a whole new array of blooms to celebrate. That orange beauty (above) is a somewhat unusual type of butterfly bush. We planted 3 different types […]
Blueberry Coffee Cake (Gluten-Free & Vegan)
I went back to the naturopath on Monday and was graduated from a no-grains-except-brown-rice diet to a gluten-free diet. This opened up another world of grains and flours and I celebrated this week by experimenting with a gluten-free coffee cake. I have to say, I haven’t had a ton of gluten-free vegan baked goods that […]
Life in the Garden (in Pictures)
A pair of robins built a nest in our backyard this spring and we have been watching as a baby has hatched and grown up in the nest (no pictures because I didn’t want to get too close). The parents fly out and bring back food for the baby and we’ve been able to see, […]
