When my mom was here visiting, she took us out for an absolutely amazing meal at Sutra in Wallingford. I’ve blogged about Sutra before. This, though, was by far the tastiest meal we’ve had there to date. The first course was a cardamom grilled nectarine coconut soup with an arugula salad on the side. Oh man, was […]

Guest Review: Veggie Grill Comes to Seattle
Veggie Grill finally opened last week in Seattle. We’re itching to try it out. I’m really hoping for onion rings when we go. I’m in the midst of a long-term onion ring saga. By saga, I mean I crave onion rings weekly and rarely get to have them since most onion rings are not vegan. Today, we are lucky to […]
Green Juice Redux
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about green juice. But it certainly deserves some renewed attention. Last year around this time, I wrote a post about the ins and outs of making great green juice, along with a recipe. Check it out if you’d like a refresher on green juice. I haven’t been juicing lately, but my […]
A Vegan Diet for Dogs
Last year at around this time, I reported about our transitioning Maizy (the dog with whom we share home) to a vegan diet. Maizy had struggled for years with an allergic skin condition, early onset arthritis, diarrhea, ear infections and weight gain. When she first came to live with us, we went through every low-allergen […]
Planning an Eco-Friendly, Vegan Wedding
Remember back when I told you I was going to have the opportunity to be a fashion correspondent for Alicia Silverstone’s blog, The Kind Life? Well, I’m excited to tell you that today my first guest post is up–Planning A Fall Wedding. I think in another life, I would have become an event planner. There’s […]
Cucumber Tomato Summer Salad
I’ve been a wee bit obsessed with this salad for the past couple of weeks. And by obsessed, I mean I’ve been making it every day (sometimes twice). This salad tastes like summer to me, probably because I grew up eating a variation of this (though the version we ate had mayonnaise instead of vinegar). We’ve had a […]
Cucumber Tea Sandwiches
This recipe should have gone up after the baby shower post, but I hadn’t recorded the proportions and so I had to wait till I recreated these to get the exact recipe. We were left with massive quantities of leftovers after the baby shower and I spent two days afterward eating nothing but cucumber sandwiches. […]
Summer Curry
We have had an abundance of zucchini from our garden over the past month. And by abundance, I mean a bumper crop that just keeps on coming. Every day for weeks we’ve been getting 1-3 big zucchinis. We’ve been giving them away right and left, eating them ourselves, giving Maizy lots in her meals…I even […]
Introducing Peppermint Patties for Pigs Peace
Dear Readers, In celebration of one year of blogging, and because Pigs Peace is in desperate need of donations, I’m launching a donation drive page for Pigs Peace at Serenity in the Storm. If you’ve been reading the blog for the last year, you’ll know about my love affair with Pigs Peace Sanctuary. We’ve been volunteering there […]
