These past few weeks, Eric and I have been preparing for a baby shower for our dear friends/mentors, Maria Elena and Tony. I met Maria Elena when I first got to the UW and she is the reason I’m working on animal ethics/studies. She is an amazing advocate for animals in the academy and has […]

Vegan Raspberry & Apricot Thumbprint Cookies
Stop what you’re doing and go make these now! Seriously. Okay, maybe finish reading the recipe and THEN go make these. I couldn’t even let the last batch cool completely before I had to jump on the computer and post this recipe so that you would not have to suffer another day without these cookies, […]
SoL Sunflower Milk, Plus GIVEAWAY
A while back, I wrote a post on Nondairy Milks for the Pantry Basics series. I mentioned that I had purchased a carton of SoL sunflower milk, but that I hadn’t tried it yet. And I promised to report back. Shortly after that post, I was contacted by the company and they kindly agreed to […]
Lemon-Ginger-Cayenne Cold Remedy
Sorry for the silence yesterday. I woke up feeling under the weather–some weird sinus/sore throat combo. Yesterday was the day I had designated to write my next review for Our Hen House and I didn’t have the stamina to be at the computer long enough to do that, get my work for the journal done (a.k.a. […]
Curried Quinoa Salad with Ginger-Lime Dressing
It’s a greyish, dark kind of morning at the moment and I’m sitting here in the almost-dark at my computer. The glow of the screen is the brightest thing in the room. Thank goodness on this dark, dreary morning (perfect for going back to bed) we have another guest recipe post from Passover that is […]

This dish is called tzimmes and it’s a traditional Jewish dish often eaten at Passover and Rosh Hashanah. It is usually composed of root vegetables and dried fruit with orange juice and spices. This version is […]
Passover Seder 2012
Good morning, Monday! This weekend, we had two treats–(1) it was Passover and we went to Eric’s mom’s cousin’s house for seder, and (2) our dear friend Theresa came to visit from Spokane, which was awesome. Theresa was my first friend when I moved to Seattle in 2004. She and I worked at a coffee shop in […]
Cornmeal Waffles with Cinnamon Peaches
Okay, I know. Three recipes in a row. Crazy! And they’re a bit all over the place–vegetable pot pie one day, roasted beet and orange salad the next, and now waffles…It’s like breakfast, lunch and dinner in reverse order. These waffles are inspired by the cornmeal waffles at Cafe Flora’s brunch. Cafe Flora tops them with different delicious […]
Roasted Beet and Orange Salad
I’m glad the vegetable pot pie provoked mouth-watering responses from the Pittsburgh crowd. Today, I’ve got another recipe for you. Though not what I would consider comfort food per se, this roasted beet salad has gorgeous coloring and a sweet citrus and earthy flavor. When I was in NY, I attended a board meeting for the […]
