Black Bean and Sweet Potato Tacos

October 4, 2011

I can and I will. I can and I will. That’s what I’ve been telling myself lately. I can and I will… about everything. I’ve also been saying YES to just about everything. Do you know what can open up when you say Yes.. I can and I will? Whoa. Major. Going to the [...]

Almost Vegan Zucchini Bread

October 2, 2011

If I could have made a U-turn on the freeway, I would have… that’s how much I didn’t want to go to this party. The sheer fact that I was forced to drive in a straight line at high speeds is why I made it to this party. Now… nothing was wrong with the party. [...]

Carrot Ginger Coconut Soup and Kale Chips

September 8, 2011

Eight Things One. When did I get so annoyingly healthy? Let me just tell you… eating wholesome Vegan Carrot Ginger Coconut Soup makes Nachos with jalapenos, sour cream, and extra guacamole taste AWESOME! I know this to be true. Two. Does this shadow make me look fat? Don’t answer that…. unless you want to say [...]

Cold Avocado Soup with sweet corn and bacon

August 18, 2011

I know what you’re craving. I know what you’ve got on your mind. I know juuuuust the thing you need. Cold. Green. Soup. Sexy right? Just the thing you’ve been yearning for? The answer to all of your burning questions? The great treasure? Wait…. no!? Cold green soup isn’t your thing? Come on…. let me [...]

Vegan Mango Banana Bread

July 13, 2011

Was it you who spent last Friday night with a bottle of white wine and a truly GIANT bowl of salty, sweet popcorn. Did you find yourself 4 hours into a Say Yes to the Dress marathon? Wait… did you cry a little bit? Was it you who glanced at the random pair of scissors [...]

Vegan Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

April 6, 2011

Two things are unacceptable: I keep forgetting to buy butter, and there’s a spider on my ceiling that my cat can’t reach. Two solutions have presented themselves: Make vegan cookies, and construct some sort of winged apparatus to send my cat into flight, thus into spider hunting range. So far, I’ve got the cookies. The [...]

Cashew Oat Milk with cinnamon and agave

March 5, 2011

Milk from nuts! Milk from oats! Milk with cinnamon. Milk with sugar. Homemade Cashew Oat Milk is my new favorite… oh-my-goodness-I’m-totally-obsessed… thing. Raw cashews are soaked, rinsed and blended with ground oats, fresh ground cinnamon, agave, and filtered water. The result is a surprisingly creamy, slightly sweet, dairy-free drink. It’s delicious is coffee. I [...]

Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup with not so vegan herb bread

February 20, 2011

Do you have things in your head like the look of your dream house? Your dream wedding dress? Do you have the names of your nonexistent children all picked out? I don’t have that. Like… at all. Sometimes I feel like there’s a strange void in my girlbrain. But… I dunno. I do have [...]

Kale Spinach and Pear Smoothie

January 3, 2011

If you’re lucky enough to romance someone with breakfast in bed…. do not bring kale. Bring bacon. Bacon is better in bed. Kale is stupid in bed. Kale is better if you’re a single lady that wants a smoothie. How is that for a pro tip?

Gluten-Dairy-Cane Sugar-Free Homemade Granola

November 17, 2010

Something pretty remarkable happened. I stepped in my kitchen and baked something without flour… without milk or eggs or butter… and without sugar. I was wide-eyed. I was nervous. This sort of thing is way out of my sugar/butter/flour comfort zone. It turns out… I might have a new comfort zone. … A new, delicious [...]

Vegan Peach Berry Crumbles

August 19, 2010

I’m not allowed to be vegan because: I sometimes carry a pound of butter around in my purse. I stir fry my tofu in bacon fat. I seriously consider grating cheese on my pillow before I go to bed at night. (ok… not really. that’s just weird.) I think heavy cream should be awarded its [...]

Coconut Pineapple Vegan Banana Bread

April 20, 2010

Want to know what’s in my fridge? A whole lot of ’what the heck am I going to do with that’? Maraschino cherries. Basil pesto. Expired buttermilk. Kale… lots of kale. A bottle with less that a tablespoon of maple syrup and carrot juice. It’s a glamorous life I lead. Totally. You should be thankful I [...]

Broiled Grapefruit with brown sugar and ginger

March 22, 2010

I’ve learned a handful of things the twenty eight years I’ve been in the world. Really just a handful of things… the rest I’m just making up as I go along. One of the things I’ve learned: serving someone a segmented grapefruit for breakfast has got to be one of the most loving things you [...]

Vegan Pumpkin Walnut Bread

November 6, 2009

I’ve got a guilty conscience. Here’s a little peek inside: Dear Coworker David, Tonight when you were detailing the twenty one shots you had for your twenty first birthday, I stopped listening at about shot number four… the Raging Bull I think you said. How do you remember all twenty one shots after twenty one [...]

Vegan Jam Swirled Pancakes

July 30, 2009

Some things just shouldn’t be a luxury. Some things are an absolute necessity. Spending too much money at Target, for example. Sometimes… (you know it’s true) that’s a total necessity. Hot bath plus cold beer. You need it. I need it. Necessity. A super comfortable dress that shows a little shoulder. Everyone loves a little [...]

Vegan Chocolate Avocado Cake

July 15, 2009

Ok… first of all, stop looking at me like that. Yea, I can see that crazy look on your face. But it’s me. The same person that brought you amazing Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls and Perfect Lemon Pound Cake. We trust each other. We have an understanding. Just go with me on this. Something about [...]

Vegan Cookies with Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Cinnamon

August 6, 2008

It’s about time that I introduce you to some of my friends. Meet Jill. Jill is one fierce cookie, although me might try to fool you with her demure presence and coy smile. Do not be fooled. She’s a firecracker and she’s got your number. I ventured into Jill’s kitchen one Sunday afternoon to make [...]
