Welcome to the Virtual Vegan Potluck! Click on the image above to be taken to the whole list of participants. I'm bringing a side dish to our virtual meal, and my contribution is Twice-Baked Russet & Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Tomato Jam. Yum! Somehow, I chose to make a side dish that's nearly as labor-intensive… Continue reading VVP: Twice-Baked Russet & Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Tomato Jam
Now that my orgy of indulgence in New York is over, it's been time to get back on track around here. Juices, smoothies, lots of raw (and some cooked) veggies, oatmeal and more..... Juice is one of my favorite things, especially light and refreshing green juices. It's still been warm here in the afternoons -… Continue reading Great Green Juice
Finally home again, and back to regular posting! It was a very quick 5 days in New York - lots to do and LOTS to eat 🙂 . Here is the amazing food from the second part of the trip - just as yummy as the first part. I didn't get to all of the… Continue reading New York City Roundup #2
It's been a whirlwind few days, hence my lack of posting. But no posts does not correlate to no good food, though.... the food at the vegan restaurants here has been amazing! One that I always find interesting about my eating habits... I can only enjoy very fancy dishes for a few meals in a… Continue reading New York Round-Up #1
I"m leaving veeeery early tomorrow morning to spend 6 days in New York City. It all started with a nutrition conference that I wanted to go to on the weekend... then I added a couple of yoga classes to teach.... then I figured that I can't be in NY without seeing a couple of shows...… Continue reading It’s off to NY I go… and the most amazing sandwich!
Salads in our house are typically the a-little-of-everything, chopped up and served with a nice tahini dressing or balsamic viniagrette sort. These are wonderful, and incredible sources of nutrition, but every so often I want a salad with more focused flavors. One of my favorites is Kristen's Banana Romaine salad with ginger shallot dressing. I… Continue reading Banana Romaine Salad – My Tweaked Version

Pumpkin is rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. It is one of the fruits featuring the highest levels of vitamin A,… Continue reading Pumpkin Butter Smoothie
First time back in the kitchen after being away... what a nice feeling! Somehow, it turned into autumn while I was traveling. 100 degrees when I left 2 weeks ago, and now it's 65 and rainy. What a difference. While I was ready for some salads and lots of raw when I left Bhutan, now… Continue reading Triple Chili Roasted Veggies & Tofu
If anyone is interested in the non-food-related aspects of our tour in Bhutan, you can follow that thread on Stef's blog Mindbumping. The Bhutan posts begin here. She is going to put up some amazing photos and information about what we did there, and she can be pretty darn funny too :-).
I stayed in Bangkok for 2 additional days after the week in Bhutan. I went to Happy Cow, my usual source for vegan restaurants and stores when traveling. Happily, there was a list of more than 30, and I chose 2 for my days here. The first that I went to was Kwan-Imm Jae, featuring… Continue reading Vegan Bangkok
