I love it raw (see: Cauliflower & Tahini Salad), cooked in soups and curries or gently steamed and served on a soft bed of quinoa with hemp oil & tamari (nothing beats a bit of good ol’ fashioned simplicity!). The coconut and tomato in…
I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my adult life with a total of eight fabulous dogs (so far). And seven of them have been vegan. When I first went vegan fifteen years ago, it was really hard for me to feed my best friends animal products. Then a friend gave me a copy of Vegetarian Cats and Dogs by James Peden. When I finished reading the book, I knew that…
The alarm clock goes off at 5 am, we jump out of bed and rush downstairs to start our Sunday. We sit and have our breakfast, which consists of orange juice and homemade oatmeal topped with banana, maple syrup and a few almonds, while happily watching the weather channel say it is going to be a beautiful day with few clouds and temps in the lower 70’s. That’s perfect for a run and…

What does Memorial Day mean? Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for all of the fallen men and women who fought for our country while serving in the US military. There is evidence that back in the 1800’s, women in the south were putting flowers on the graves of the soldiers before the end of the Civil War (a war which claimed more lives than any other war in…
I remember how tasty shop bought, coconut chocolate bars seemed to be back in the days when I ate that ‘regular’ kind from the store.

These days when…
