I mentioned before that I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest. I love it because it allows for people to get their ideas out there on a wide scale, and it makes it so easy to find cool recipes, DIY crafty ideas, awesome ways to decorate your kitchen, and how to make a bun in … Continue reading
When I was a little kid, I would eat anything. I was a parent’s dream- any vegetable they wanted me to try, I was totally game. Whatever my dad cooked, I ate. The only thing I remember ever not wanting to try were beets, but my parent’s tricked me, saying “Oh well, more for us. … Continue reading
One of my most favorite cities in the world is Barcelona. It is such a beautiful, whimsical city, complete with insane architecture, gorgeous beaches, the best farmer’s market you’ll ever go to, nap time, and tapas. I’ve not been to Barcelona since becoming vegan, but as a vegetarian, there were a few staple tapas that … Continue reading
I am not good with frosting or icing. There are two reasons for this: I am a perfectionist and I am not skilled enough yet to apply frosting in a perfectly even way. I have a habit of eating too much from the bowl and the spoon and making myself sick. With daffodils in a … Continue reading
Do you ever wish there was a way you could stick your head inside your blender so you can clean, with your tongue, the last traces of whatever it was that you made? No? Just me? Huh. Forget I mentioned it. I was informed recently that I would be going to Maui (yay!!!) in May. … Continue reading

When we first became vegan, I was a tofu-scrambling machine. I researched the basics online and taught myself along the way. It was a good, easy go-to for any meal when we were still learning this new way of life, and we ate a lot of it. I scrambled the heck out of some tofu! … Continue reading
On Urban Dictionary, one of the definitions (after several unnecessary x-rated definitions) for “Fiesta” is: A small economy car that is popular in Europe and/or other poor or liberal hell holes. “Billy drives a Fiesta and he is a communist.” That is actually not the definition I was looking for. I was thinking something along … Continue reading
You know how some days, even the most mundane tasks seem incredibly daunting? Laundry. Making a pot of coffee. Putting on shoes. And to top it off, its super cold and blustery outside. You know those days. Yesterday was one of those days for me. Everything seemed to require a huge amount of energy and … Continue reading
Chris and I don’t exchange gifts for holidays or birthdays. We feel that it has more impact when we give gifts on normal days, rather than a day that demands gift-giving. We do, however, give “Non-Christmas Gifts” somewhere in the general vicinity of Christmas time, and Chris gives THE best Non-Christmas Gifts. Last year, he … Continue reading
