Like many folks here, my husband and I have a goal to travel to all 50 states in the USA. Between the two of us, we’ve already hit most of them long before we met and our earlier travels together we spent mostly in the various tropical islands. In order to make the 50 state […]

Before I even get to the food, can we talk about vegan food terminology? It’s annoying, isn’t it? I feel like there really isn’t a perfect way to word vegan versions of traditionally animal-based products. I mean, I’m totally comfortable calling my tempeh bacon simply “bacon” and my tofu scramble “eggs” but damn if some […]

You can find a million and one recipes online for making your own nut milk so I never felt it was necessary to post one here. But then I kind of feel like I can’t have a place that talks about vegan living and not mention making your own milk. Interestingly enough, the first time […]

This post is entirely too long over due. Our road trip to Providence, RI feels like it was years ago, and that’s not too far off as it’s been almost a year. We had several trips last year in a short amount of time and although I had every intention on recapping them all immediately […]

While VegNews magazine is fabulous, I’m really drawn to the vegan publications that go beyond typical vegan news and recipes.

Our house is over 100 years old, it was the unique character that drew us to it, even in spite of its splintering original wood floors and lead paint safely sealed beneath at least 30 years of protective painted layers. Our bedroom […]

Maybe it’s because it’s a sunny 50 degree day in January that has me feeling like Spring has come to clear out the winter funk. Or maybe it’s because I accidentally opened my blog on my phone this morning and started reading the last few posts that made me realize I really do enjoy sitting […]

I’m no stranger to n’ice cream, usually a term I reserve for the vegan banana “soft serve” but when I saw the N’ice Cream Book, and that mouthwatering cover, I wanted more. I had put a temporary hold on ordering anymore cookbooks, because honestly I hardly use them. I buy them to support my food […]

I was lucky enough for Vegan Health & Fitness magazine to reach out to me for an interview for their new vegan parenting series. You can find the interview starting on page 8 in their September/October issue, with Rob Zombie on the cover, and the magazine can be found at Barnes & Noble. That alone […]
