Shachar, Tacos, and Babies

[January 31]

My gorgeous friend Shachar just had her twin babies last weekend and I’m totally in love.  They are edible and she’s already a superb mama.  It was a real struggle for her (as it is for so many of us) and I wanted to take a second to honor her and her journey. Just a [...]

Fig Food Co. Beans

[January 26]

Let me start by saying I love living in Brooklyn!  I’m constantly coming across new products and businesses in the area that I’m impressed by and psyched to incorporate in my life, kitchen, whathaveyou. Juggling my way through the market today, Bar nursing in her sling, pushing the stroller with groceries in it (it might [...]

Jamaica Once Again

[January 25]

I apologize again for my hiatus (this mommy thing gets in the way of everything, huh;)).  We were actually traveling and getting spotty internet while we were gone. This trip has developed into a yearly thing for us and our favorite friends and doppelgängers (Michelle, Dan, Ike, and Calvin).  Once upon a time these friends [...]

Guest Post: Liza (Chrust) Friedman- Vegan Apple Muffins!

[January 17]

Hello Everyone! I know it has been awhile since I have posted but with planning a wedding, moving to New Hampshire, and finding a job life has been just a little crazy.  Now that I have gotten married, officially moved, and have a job, I can get back to normal life. Last night Mike and [...]

VitaClay Saves Dinner

[January 4]

I know I haven’t been posting enough about food and vegan goodies recently, but I promise I’ve been cooking!  It’s so hard to grab a moment in front of the computer to think and write, let alone prepare dinner for the family.  And this is the most important time to make sure we are all [...]

Sorry!

[December 12]

Sorry for all the silence around here.  Life’s been a little crazy.  And since I spend most of my time and all of my down time nursing this baby in the rocking chair, I have little time in front of my computer:(  That said, I’ve been working my fat tush off testing recipes so as [...]

My Cousin David and his Vegan Butternut Squash Soup

[December 4]

When I asked for my cute, little (but not so little anymore) cousin David to write me a post about his adventures in cooking and the soup he made us for Thanksgiving, I’d planned on writing an intro.  Upon getting his post I realized it totally speaks for itself as he speaks for himself (oh [...]

Healthy, Vegan Cookie Baking

[November 14]

In the midst of the madness, I found a moment the other day to bake some pumpkin cookies.  With all the nursing I’ve been doing, and the superhealthy eating, I’ve been craving some sweets.  And although there are great vegan baked goods options in my hood, they’re not always the most healthful (think margarine, sugar, [...]

Happy Halloween, Vegan Nut Butter Cups, and Vegan Pumpkin Pasta!

[October 31]

Happy Halloween everyone!  I love halloween.  Minus the toxic candy of course. We’re having some friends and their kiddies over to trick or treat and dinner and grub on our treats, so I decided to make some candies of my own.  I made Maple Almond Nut Butter Cups and Peppermint Patties.  They were a little [...]

Shana Tova, Chag Sameach, and Whatnot

[September 30]

Just wanted to pop in and say happy new year and all that jazz.  Been a little crazy bouncing between family and synagogue, but the food has been fabulous, family has been fun, and I promise to get to my 37 week update asap.  Meanwhile, here’s a sneak peak at the amazingly scrumptious vegan challah [...]
