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 […]

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 […]
Avocado Corn Salad with Lime
There’s something about that fresh summer produce that makes me want to eat things raw, and the fact that the weather is hot makes it more unappealing to turn on the stove or oven. Earlier this week, I posted the raw zucchini ‘caprese’ salad. Today, I’ve got for you a simple salad that celebrates fresh, raw […]
Raw Zucchini ‘Caprese’ Salad
I’ve been trying to eat more uncooked fruits and vegetables lately. It’s certainly not a hardship eating more raw fruits and vegetables in the middle of summer when there is an abundance of fresh produce. This easy salad celebrates the zucchini and basil we have coming into our garden and mimics the flavor profiles of […]
Fourth of July Food
Happy Fourth! I hope you all are getting to do something nice and relaxing today. Below, I’ve included some ideas for some delicious vegan eats. I hope your day is fun, safe and a time to hang out with family/friends. But remeber, Fourth of July fireworks can be a real bummer for those of us […]
Vegan Southwest Burgers
You might be wondering why there’s a giant piece of cake on a ‘vegan southwest burgers’ post. Well, I’ll tell you. Yesterday, I woke up determined to be productive…despite the fact that it was Monday. And despite the fact that I woke up with a splitting headache. I had a bunch of errands to run that […]
Roasted Red Pepper Dressing
It seems like ages since I’ve posted a recipe. It’s probably because I have been really uninspired to cook lately. I know it happens to everyone, but somehow writing a blog that features recipes makes my lack of inspiration all the more noticeable (to me, at least). To be honest, this dressing isn’t even my […]
Summer Vegetable Wrap with Basil Dipping Sauce
When I was in Baltimore, my mom and sister ordered this veggie wrap for lunch at a restaurant and it came with the most wonderful basil sauce. The sauce/dressing is like a light, refreshing pesto with a slight tang. When I got home, I tinkered around in the kitchen trying to replicate the basil sauce. I […]
