I haven’t created a recipe in awhile. Aside from my usual veggie burgers, vegan mac and cheese and lemon rice, I haven’t ventured into experimentation in the kitchen. Perhaps it’s the oppressive heat or traveling or taking on more writing assignments. I’m currently reading The Happiness Project in which author Gretchen Rubin recounts the year … Continue reading

Meat-Free Monday Recipe: Pan-Grilled Portabella Mushroom, Baby Spinach and Arugula Salad
Last week, I vacationed on beautiful, balmy Sanibel Island in Florida. Lazy days consisted of book reading (Tina Fey’s Bossypants…hilarious, insightful, like chatting with a good friend…seriously so good) and flipping through fashion magazines. We went on a boat and watched playful dolphins (!!!). We lingered on the beach, watched birds, waded in the warm … Continue reading

15 Vegan Recipes for Dinner at Foodie Blog ‘The Kitchn’
I have a confession to make. I’m not always reading feminist manifestas and animal-loving vegan blogs. I know, I know…you’re all shocked. In my spare time, I’m often perusing one of my fave sites, Apartment Therapy. You’ll find me ogling house tours, quirky home décor and teeny tiny apartment makeovers.

Recipe: Easy Vegan Ranch Dip
As I watched the Super Bowl Sunday night, I craved something snack-y. You know. Something salty combined with something creamy. Mmmm…creamy. Creamy things call my name like a siren’s song.
