Fresh Nut Mylk

[February 2]

Since I got my Vitamix (yay!) I’ve been making so many new things that I couldn’t have (as well) before and one of my family’s favorites is all of the different nut mylks I’ve been making.  Almond, cashew, brazilian, walnut.  All yum! My sister, Liza, asked me this morning for the recipe, so I figured [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

Vegan Delicata Squash and Corn Soup

[September 9]

Sorry it’s been so quiet around here!  Between the earthquake, hurricane, my sister’s wedding, preschool starting, 33 and change weeks of pregnancy, and some renovations around our apartment, my life has been a little crazy to say the least! That said, I swear I’ve been cooking and some good stuff, so I’ll do my best [...]

Brown Rice with Pesto Dinner

[August 16]

A week or so ago, I threw together this delicious and totally easy dinner.  It was perfect for a hot summer night, totally nourishing, and perfectly filling.  It was more compiling ingredients than anything, but it all fit together nicely.  It was a great mix of cool, raw, fresh ingredients and hot cooked brown rice.
