REVIEW: January Favorites
We had a few highlights during January – a good bit of snow early in the month, took Willow to use her snowshoes for the first time AND we got our fireplace running! Which meant we were finally able to keep our house heated above 60°! Not even kidding, our house was freezing – I’m…

Vegan Anniversary!
Happy Vegan Anniversary, to ME! It’s amazing how much things have changed for me over these last NINE years. I’m in a constant state of learning, healing and growing – and I owe it all to making the switch from vegetarian to vegan. Twenty four years ago (just before I started high school) I made…

REVIEW: November Favorites
Happy December, my friends! I hope all of you who celebrated had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a cozy gathering at my parents with a 100% vegan feast. Happy bellies all around and no turkey was harmed. At the end of October, we “adopted” a turkey, again, via Farm Sanctuary. Willow chose Pamela… For those…

RECIPE: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
In my personal opinion, one can never have too many chocolate chip cookie recipes. There are SO many different variations with flours, textures, flavors and sweetness levels AND each one is delicious in their own way.

RECIPE: Quinoa Apple Salad with Creamy Mustard Dressing
If you follow me on Instagram, you might remember a post about Willow “cooking” me dinner in her little kitchen. She said she was making me a Quinoa Apple Salad. Where in the world did she come up with this?!?! I knew straight away that I had to create a “real” quinoa apple salad. I…

RECIPE: Toffee Granola
I know. Another toffee themed recipe. BUT before you say anything, I had no plans to post another recipe using the toffee sauce, that was until the lovely @bondsbeach used it to make granola! As soon as I saw that, I had to hop into the kitchen and experiment for myself. It took a few…

RECIPE: PB&J Oats
It’s been a LONG time since I’ve written a blog post! This summer is flying by and it’s been a hot one, which means less time experimenting in our little kitchen. We ban the use of the oven once the temps get into the 80’s (we don’t have AC) and we’ve had several days of…
