Happy Monday, dear readers! I don’t know about your particular part of the world, but here in Seattle, signs of spring are everywhere. The trees are getting tiny buds, the crocuses are blooming, the 50 tulips I planted last fall have sprouted! Lots of exciting signs of spring, despite the fact that we have had quite a […]

Valentine’s Day Treats or Sipping Cocoa in the Afternoons
I’m not actually one for all the hoopla of consumption on Valentine’s Day — surprise, surprise, right? Usually Eric and I don’t have any special plans and it’s always pretty low-key. We try to celebrate each other and our relationship every day (or at least on a more regular regular basis than once a year). That being […]
Green on Greens Salad
I’ve been easing back into the raw vegetable eating after having some pretty harsh, unexplained stomach issues over winter break. The raw veggies were just too hard on my digestive system, oddly, and I’ve been somewhat tentative about what I’m eating these days. I’m finally starting to feel like myself again and have been craving greens […]
Grilled Artichoke Melt Sandwich
One of my favorite things to eat these days is the artichoke melt sandwich at Chaco Canyon Cafe in Seattle. It’s a hot sandwich with artichoke spread, cashew cheese, veganaise and topped with sprouts and cucumber. Lately, I’ve been pulling out the sandwich press at home and making grilled sandwiches that are a variation on this. You do […]
Homemade Granola
The other day, Eric picked up an oat from the counter, ate it, and exclaimed, “I just found a yummy, cinnamony piece of oat on the counter!” “Oh!” I said, “I forgot! I made granola today!” It was so easy and low-impact a process I had forgotten all about it. This granola recipe is adapted from my […]
Banana Pancakes
Mornin’! And happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day for those in the US of A. This morning, Eric is home from work and we are waiting on a dryer repair person to arrive (our dryer finally kicked it and we’re hoping it will be able to be repaired). Clothes just don’t line-dry so well in […]
Biscuits and Gravy
If you were gearing up to have a Celiac’s test, what would you eat to make sure you were getting a fair amount of gluten leading up to the test? I would eat (and did!) biscuits and gravy. When I was a kid, my dad was the king of biscuit making. He’d just roll out […]
Celebrating a Vegan, Eco-Friendly Winter Wedding

Rajma (Indian Kidney Bean Stew)
I hope you all had good holidays! I’m coming off of several very relaxing, restorative days and now I’m trying to get back into the rhythm of getting work done. I have to write a chapter of my dissertation in the next three weeks (no small feat) so that I can workshop it with our animal studies […]
Pumpkin Cranberry Bread
I hope you didn’t miss the post about Saoirse and Maizy playing together yesterday–that was a fun post to write! Okay, so I’m not only eating cranberry things these days. Really! It just seems to be what foods are making it on the blog lately. Some savory recipes as soon as the teaching quarter is […]
