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 […]
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 […]
Long time, no blog! There are a million reasons why blogging had temporarily ceased, some are valid, some are excuses, and there’s also something new in the works which I’m really excited about that I can hopefully reveal next month. But, I’m right here, right now, and wanted to share this long overdue thank […]
This week brought another stellar selection of produce in the Relay Foods Bounty Share. While I appreciate all produce equally for the unique nutritional profile they bring, there’s something uniquely special about each bounty. This week we enjoyed beautiful blueberries and perfectly ripe strawberries. I typically stick to frozen strawberries since grocery store selections leave me disappointed […]
For a good portion out of the year, I’m relying on frozen berries for my smoothies. In Baltimore, our local fruit season is short lived, one can only eat so many apples, says the apple lover.

The version of me that exists in my head is one where I can spend a week on a tropical island and come back rejuvenated and ready to tackle any task at hand. I’ll immediately put away the suitcases upon my arrival right before heading out to the local market to replenish our stockpile of […]
I recently came across someone sharing a way for peeling a mango and my world was turned upside down. As much as I love mango, my detest for peeling and slicing them was so much of a deterrent for me that I ate them much less than I would like. Mango is Julian’s favorite fruit and […]
I was drinking a big jug of my chicory chai latte that I had chilled and I was instantly transported back to my childhood neighborhood, Country Club Hills, in the suburbs of Chicago. I took a moment to remember the summers when my Grandmother would come stay for a month and spend the days with […]
There were two times in my life when I took myself off of caffeine and experienced full-fledged caffeine withdrawal. The first was when I decided to go vegan. Up til then, my life was dependent upon my morning coffee with one tablespoon of raw sugar and a whole lotta half & half. Even though I […]
Veganism has transformed my life in endless ways beyond the eschewing of animal exploitation. Although there is no guarantee veganism will cure someone of their selfish and exploitative ways, as often proven in the Animal Rights community that is rife with racism and sexism, for many of us, it’s only the rebirth of our compassionate, more awake […]
