Healthier & Happier Living with a Plant-Based Diet
It's been a whirlwind few weeks! I was in Europe for 2 weeks, teaching vegan cooking classes and exploring all the great vegan places everywhere I went. If you follow me on Instagram, I posted lots of photos of what I ate and where I went. I found many great vegan restaurants, and ate well… Continue reading Lemon Parsley Smoothie
One of my goals for this week was to focus on vegetables. I've been residing in carb-land lately, and while I haven't been eating really badly, there has been a noticeable reduction in veggies. In order to do that, I ordered a CSA box for the week. "CSA" stands for "community supported agriculture" and it's… Continue reading Leek-Radish Slaw with Smoked Paprika Aioli
Last year, I had the good fortune to do recipe testing for Ricki Heller's upcoming cookbook. The recipes were so amazing and creative, and now that I have the book in my hands, I see that it's so much more than a cookbook. Candida, is a yeast that naturally occurs in the human body; but when… Continue reading Living Candida-Free ~ Recipe and Giveaway!
So I've been dealing with some things lately. The kind of things that you're not quite sure why they started or what they're doing, but you go to the doctor and they tell you you're fine. Oh, so this is what "fine" feels like ... ok. I'll talk about this more in time, as it… Continue reading Ginger-Turmeric Lemonade
A couple of weeks ago, I had the fun of catering the food for a baby shower for some friends. It was really beautiful ~ a garden-party afternoon tea on a warm sunny day, with lots of happy people joining the celebration. The food was afternoon-tea style, with little crustless sandwiches, fruit salad with cashew… Continue reading Herbed Probiotic Cashew Cheese

I can eat them anytime, all the time. 🙂 So with potatoes, like pasta, even though they taste the best to me in their pure, unadulterated forms, I occasionally try to come up with ways to make me eat fewer of them at once. I wanted to make… Continue reading Almond Crusted Potatoes with Lemon-Dill Aioli… and a vegan president?
Happy 2015 everyone! With the beginning of a new year, that means the beginning of the end of all things holiday-ish. Yep, we're winding down with the pumpkin, and the peppermint, and the gingerbread, and even the cranberries. But since cranberries are one of my favorite things, I wanted to get one more recipe in… Continue reading Cranberry Pecan Muffins
I have lived in California for 17 years now, and one thing that I definitely miss about Massachusetts is the seasons. Not that I loved being cold, or having humidity or mosquitoes, but I liked having a change every so often. And the leaves. Definitely miss the changing of the leaves. 🙂 One thing I… Continue reading Creamy Pumpkin Corn Chowder with Chipotle Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
I love bowls ~ isn't this one beautiful? l would love to have one, and not just for its inherent beauty, but for all of the delicious things I could put in it that would look even more spectacular. Mashed potatoes, soup, noodles, hummus, popcorn.... And there's even a new cookbook out that gives recipes… Continue reading Creamy Curried Tomato Soup recipe from Bowls!
One of the greatest things that happened to our household over the summer is that we got an amazing new espresso machine. We had one before, and it was very nice and high quality, but it took some time to heat the water - like 30 minutes! - and to get it all ready to… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Affogato
