Cranberries are one of those foods that I see and I just want to grab a handful and start eating. Big mistake. On their own, these little buggers are bitter as hell and not very tasty. I used to spend a great deal of time looking for farm real estate (our dream is to move […]

Tattoo Update
Months and months ago, I posted about vegan tattoos and tattoo care. I’ve had some requests from readers to see some photos of the progress on my tattoo. Six sessions later, I’m nearing the end of this giant tree/crow tattoo. Almost a year ago, I was going in for an art consult with the amazing […]
Cranberry Applesauce
I got hit with a major cold the day after Thanksgiving. Honestly, I started feeling a little under the weather on Wednesday night, but chalked it up to being over-tired and needing a good night’s sleep and a long weekend away from school and work. On Thursday, the flurry of preparing to host vegan Thanksgiving […]
Thanksgiving Recipe Roundup
It’s already that time of year again…coming into Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving can be a stressful time for vegans (and new vegans especially). For one, it is incredibly depressing to think about the 46 million turkeys slaughtered each year in the United States for Thanksgiving day alone. That is a lot of individual lives taken for one […]
Comfort Food and Saying Goodbye to a Dear Friend
I know that chanterelle season is coming up soon and I was hoping against hope that there would be chanterelle mushrooms at the vegetable stand yesterday. But alas, they have not arrived yet. I had had my heart set on making a chanterelle and kale risotto. Instead, I found some shiitake mushrooms and spinach and whipped up […]
Turmeric Detox Drink
I’ve mentioned before that Remedy Teas is one of my all-time favorite spots for tea, lunch, toast and general hanging out. Well, it still is! And one of my favorite things on their menu is their TNT Detox drink. It’s made with turmeric, lemon, ginger, and cayenne and it’s very spicy and delicious. You can order it […]
Smoky Spiced Lentils and Rice
Happy Friday! I don’t know about you all, but it’s been a long, tiring week and I’m looking forward to the weekend. If you’re feeling a little weary, like I am, this is a great comforting and nourishing dish that is packed with flavor and so easy to make. Plus, the cooking time is 50 minutes, which […]
Adventures in Tandoori Roasted Cauliflower
First, thank you so much to all who voted for Pigs Peace. They will be awarded $10,000 thanks to all of your votes. Woohoo! Secondly, I woke up yesterday morning and this recipe popped up in my Google Reader as I was eating breakfast—Whole Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower with Mint Chutney and I was like, wait… WHAT?! I […]
Strawberry Banana “Softserve”
For my birthday, my sweet sister sent me this nifty softserve ice cream maker. Thanks, Lucy! When we were kids, my uncle was a raw foodist and, when we would visit, he would use his Champion juicer to make this amazing ‘ice cream’ out of only frozen bananas. This has been an amazing treat in the raw […]
Awesome Arugula Salad
The salad that went along with yesterday’s soup is a little crazy how good it is, considering how easy it is to make. Trying to recreate the nectarine soup and this salad was a fun challenge. I really had no idea how they were made, but in the end I think both recipes really get the […]
