Babycakes Doughnuts at Liza’s Engagement Party

[June 30]

This past saturday evening, we celebrated my sister Liza’s engagement with a big family dinner and then a party to follow. We dined at Whym on the upper west side and while it is not vegan or even vegetarian, they prepared a fabulous vegan meal for myself, Liza, and Richie.  In place of dessert, Liza [...]

Philly Horizons

[June 29]

This past Friday evening, while Richie and Benoit attended Phish Concert #2, Maddy and I went for a night on the town in Philly.  I had made reservations at Horizons Restaurant at 8:15p and we had such a fabulous time, we closed the place down! It was hands down the best vegan meal I’ve every [...]

Sweet Freedom Deliciousness

[June 28]

While in Philly Friday afternoon, I made it a point to drag Richie and Benoit along with me to the Sweet Freedom Bakery.  It is Philadelphia’s only completely vegan, gluten-free, allergen friendly bakery and everything we tasted was melt in your mouth delicious (and let me tell you, we went a little crazy tasting!). We [...]

Phishy Phishy Philly

[June 25]

So…last night I went to my first (and most likely last) Phish concert.  Richie was a big fan in high school and still is.  I have never been into or interested in the music or the scene that follows, but agreed to go with an open mind. So we drove to Philly (I’ve never been) [...]

Jean Hill of Concord, Mass: Taking on the Bottled Water Companies Single Handedly

[June 24]

Yesterday, Richie forwarded me an interesting and inspiring article from the New York Times.  It featured an 82 year old activist from Concord, Massachusetts who’s working on getting bottled water banned from being sold at Concord stores. While her success is still up in the air, her resolve is encouraging.  And while her goal may [...]

Sometimes I Crave Broccoli

[June 23]

There’s something about broccoli that makes me feel full and healthy and comfortable at the same time.  So I cook it a lot!  And I cook a lot of it.  It’s great next to a bowl of pasta and just as good cold, straight out of the fridge the next day. My favorite way to [...]

Tea Tea Tea

[June 22]

We’re big fans of green tea (herbal tea, white tea, black tea, really any tea) in our little family.  Hot in the winter and cold in the summer it’s always exactly what I needed.  A steaming cup of kombucha green decaf before bed every night settles the stomach and calms the mind.  A tall glass [...]

Consumption Junction

[June 21]

I’m sure you’ve all heard it before, but: What about the starving kids in Africa?!? We Americans are so used to excess that we entirely take it for granted.  Waste is part of everyday life with no thought to the millions of people in this world who don’t have enough let alone anything to waste. [...]

Vegans Eat Pancakes Too

[June 18]

Friday afternoon after my mom picked up Avital for the evening, I found myself in bed with my Kindle craving pancakes.  I rarely have cravings (and even less of the time do I have the time to feed them), so I decided to whip up a batch. I had a package of Multigrain Pancakes in [...]
