Recently, someone from Two Degrees contacted me and asked if I’d like to sample and review their bars. I’ve had the chance to try them and have Eric, his mom and stepfather and Karen and Oliver try them as well. So I think we’ve got a pretty wide age and gender demographic of sampling. I’ll […]

Raw Beet Salad with Sesame-Ginger Dressing
I bought some beets a couple of weeks ago at the farmers market and then promptly forgot about them. This morning, I was digging around in the fridge and found them! I whipped up this little on-the-fly salad/slaw with what I had around and it turned out great! The flavors are bright and earthy with […]
Piña Colada
I’ve been in the mood for a tropical beach vacation lately. That’s definitely not happening any time soon! But I did make this very nice piña colada drink the other day. It made me feel like I was on a beach for a minute. Maybe. Typically I think a piña colada is made with pineapple […]
Marinated Onions
One of my favorite places to eat these days is Chaco Canyon Cafe. They have two locations—one in the U-District and one in West Seattle. They are all vegan (except for milk at their espresso bar) and they have lots of raw options. My favorite thing to get at Chaco Canyon is either the avocado […]
Raspberry Shortcake
I had some disappointing news on Monday. I was rejected from another grant for research funding. I started working on this one more than 15 months ago and had gone through one rejection and rewrite already, so this came as a big disappointment at the end of a very long and exhausting process of […]
Market Greens: Garlic Rapini
I’ve been frequenting the farmers market lately. In fact, I went twice last week. Going to the farmers market is a great way to get inspired to cook and inspiration is something I’ve been lacking lately in the cooking department! I love how abundant the farmers market feels—how appealing and delicious the fruits and vegetables look […]
Avocado Corn Salad with Lime
There’s something about that fresh summer produce that makes me want to eat things raw, and the fact that the weather is hot makes it more unappealing to turn on the stove or oven. Earlier this week, I posted the raw zucchini ‘caprese’ salad. Today, I’ve got for you a simple salad that celebrates fresh, raw […]
Raw Zucchini ‘Caprese’ Salad
I’ve been trying to eat more uncooked fruits and vegetables lately. It’s certainly not a hardship eating more raw fruits and vegetables in the middle of summer when there is an abundance of fresh produce. This easy salad celebrates the zucchini and basil we have coming into our garden and mimics the flavor profiles of […]
Raspberry White Chocolate Layer Cake
When I was a teenager growing up in Pittsburgh, a small catering kitchen and cooking school opened around the corner from our house, called Food Glorious Food. Brad and Tom are the owners and they have grown the business into a successful neighborhood staple, offering a bakery several times a week. Lines are out the door to […]
Fourth of July Food
Happy Fourth! I hope you all are getting to do something nice and relaxing today. Below, I’ve included some ideas for some delicious vegan eats. I hope your day is fun, safe and a time to hang out with family/friends. But remeber, Fourth of July fireworks can be a real bummer for those of us […]
