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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Shiitake Noodle Soup
After a visit to the naturopath earlier this week, I’ve been assigned to do an elimination diet. First step: eliminate ALL grains, except for rice for three weeks. Today is day 4 and, honestly, once I hid all the bread items in the house in the freezer so they weren’t staring at me every time […]
Fettucini Alfredo, Vegan Style
One of the first meals Eric ever made for me when I came out to visit him in Seattle years and years ago was fettucini alfredo. It was a delicious, romantic meal loaded with heavy cream and cheese and whatever else goes into a super-rich dairy-laden alfredo sauce. Of course, as soon as we were finished eating, I […]
Grain Bowl How-To
Good morning! We’re coming off of three glorious days of spring sunny weather here in Seattle and when I woke up this morning, the clouds and grey were back like a cozy blanket. I don’t mind the clouds and drizzle, in fact I love it a lot of the time, but this morning it makes […]
Walnuts!
You know how sometimes the most basic, boring foods can taste so good? I’ve been feeling that way about raw walnuts lately. I have been in a major food rut these past few months and have not been enjoying eating much, so this love for the walnuts is really saying something. The highlight of this food rut […]
