Have a look at this gorgeous coat. No, seriously. Just drink it in for a moment. The Belden from Vaute Couture. Vaute Couture is a NYC vegan/eco-conscious designer who makes the loveliest winter coats. Usually the coats have a wool-like look, are very warm and very expensive…I’ve been lusting after them for the past few years. This […]

Chili Cardamom Truffles
We’ve finally gotten some sun here in Seattle in the past day or two. I’ve heard that people all over the U.S. are having unseasonably warm weather for the time of year–80 F in Pittsburgh in March? I think not. There is something definitely unusual about that. On the reverse, Seattle has been unseasonably cold. Usually February hits […]
Salted Kahlua Truffles
Do I have a treat for you today! Vegan salted kahlua truffles… I love kahlua, but oftentimes think it’s too sweet. I think the salt cuts the sweetness of the kahlua and compliments the chocolate nicely. If you’ve ever seen the film Chocolat with Juliette Binoche, Johnny Depp and Judi Dench, you’ll know I would not […]
Irish Colcannon (or Mashed Potatoes with Greens)
Just in time for St. Patrick’s day, colcannon is a traditional Irish dish made by mashing potatoes and mixing in cabbage or other greens. When I was growing up, my parents used to make colcannon, or my dad would sometimes call it ‘thump’ (a Scottish variation), with whatever greens we had around. Usually, this was […]
New Workout & Banana Cinnamon Chia Pudding
This morning after Eric left for work, I buckled down and tried a new workout. I’ve not been making it to the gym with the teaching schedule and everything else and have been feeling quite lazy and in need of exercise. I’ve been trying to figure out a workout that I can do quickly and […]
Peanut Butter Heaven Sandwich (or Katie’s First Date)
I really don’t know what else to call this sandwich other than to tell you it’s a little bit of heaven. I used to get a version of this sandwich at a little cafe called Molly’s in the basement of the Henry Art Gallery at the UW. There, it was called “Molly’s First Date”. I […]
Getting to NYC
Finally, back to Seattle after a week in New York City, then back to Seattle for a day, then back to Buffalo until last night. I can already feel some semblance of normal creeping back into my life (thank goodness!) but I still have a lot of catch-up to do from all of this time […]
Veganized Girl Scout Cookies
I’m sorry for the long delay between posts. I’ve been in NYC for a conference for the past week and just got back to Seattle late last night. Off to another conference for a long weekend. And then back to normal soon. Whew! Lots of report on from New York travels, academic stuff, and good […]
Pantry Basics: Non-Dairy Milks
It seems like every time I go to the grocery store, there are more nondairy milk options. Just the other day, I bought a carton of sunflower seed milk! I haven’t tried it yet, so I’ll have to let you know when I do. As an adult, I’ve never been a big milk drinker. Even with the nondairy varieties, you won’t […]
Hunkering Down w/ Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
The past week or so has been intense with school and work, etc. Eric went back to work last Monday and it’s been a kind of major adjustment for both us having him back to work. Teaching has been so great–the students are wonderful and thoughtful and they say things like “I don’t ever want […]
