For the last year, I’ve been working with Food Empowerment Project, helping with writing projects and hearing about the great work they are doing to promote a vegan food justice movement. Food Empowerment Project is an amazing organization and they are now asking for your help (and so am I) to launch their brand […]

Onion Rings
I am so excited to share this awesome recipe with you! It is everything I hoped for and everything you would want in an onion ring. Crispy, delicate, flavorful, and not greasy. These are not deep fried; they’re made in the oven and they are not difficult to make. To give you some backstory. I […]
Autumn Morning Glory Muffins
As I recall, I didn’t have my first morning glory muffin until later in life than I probably should have. I remember it well. I got one from Rainbow Grocery on Capitol Hill in Seattle and loved it (this was well before it, sadly, closed). I’ve been thinking about morning glory muffins a lot lately […]
Concerned about animal suffering? Do something!
In the face of stories like the calf at auction from earlier this week, it can be easy to feel helpless and overwhelmed by the enormity of animal suffering in the world. To end the week on a positive note, I thought I’d compile some ideas for getting involved to help animals. Last weekend, Serenity […]
“I’m not your mother!”: A Story from a California “Livestock” Auction
A day-old Holstein calf stood alone in the auction pen. Tish and I sat in the bleachers waiting for the auction to begin. The auction ring was clean — this was the first auction of the day and the wood shavings lining the floor of the pen had not yet been soiled by animals passing […]
San Francisco Breakfast Burrito (The Grind Cafe)
On the day I was heading home to Seattle, Tish and Jason and I went to breakfast at The Grind Café. They have quite a few vegan options (all of their scrambles can be made with tofu instead of eggs). Tish and I both got the breakfast burrito made vegan. I have to say it was one of the nicest breakfast […]
Last of the Heirloom Tomatoes
There are still a few heirloom tomatoes at the farmers markets in Seattle. I’m not letting go of summer completely until the heirlooms are gone. In these last days of summer tomatoes, I’ve been enjoying them more and more simply. Here are few ideas that require little to no preparation: Sliced and plain, these ripe tomatoes […]
Spak Brothers — Pittsburgh Hoagies, Vegan Style
One of the things I miss about not living in Pittsburgh is being able to eat delicious hoagies. When I went vegan, I came to terms with the fact that hoagies were off the list. A lot of classic Pittsburgh foods, in fact, were off the list. But we won’t dwell on that. As you can […]
A Day in Pittsburgh
I’m in Pittsburgh visiting my family and attending the wedding of one of my oldest friends (we’ve known each other since nursery school). It’s been lovely spending time with family and yesterday was a particularly nice day. My grannie on my mom’s side lives in Pittsburgh and we spent the afternoon together yesterday. The night […]
Experiments in Raw Food: Southwest Raw Zucchini “Pasta”
A lot of times I make foods that aren’t what I would call blog worthy. They’re things that I might enjoy eating in the moment, but they’re not really the kind of thing I would ever necessarily serve anyone else (you know, like those meals where you open a can of beans, pour half the can […]
