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 [...]

Happy 4th!

[July 5]

Happy belated 4th of July all!  We spent the long weekend with my parents at their home in Connecticut.   Every year we celebrate the holiday weekend along side of my father’s birthday as he was born on July 5th.  It’s a fun filled weekend filled with family, friends, and food.  I hope all of [...]

Ben Larrabee Portraiture

[March 16]

A while back we had the opportunity to have a family portrait done by Ben Larrabee.  Ben and Trudie (his amazing wife) are friends of the family and as a wedding gift they offered to do a shoot for us which was superexciting! Ben’s work is part of a number of permanent collections including the [...]

Yay Liza! You’re Famous;)

[December 15]

Well at least as far as I’m concerned she is! We both love love LOVE Alicia Silverstone’s book (The Kind diet) and blog (The Kind Life). A while back Liza emailed Alicia thanking her for her help and inspiration on her path through veganism and a healthier lifestyle. And….Alicia wrote back and asked to feature [...]

A Little Late, But Hanukah Nonetheless

[December 6]

So, of course it’s been Hanukah, and of course we’ve been celebrating, but I haven’t been posting about it because I still have residual Thanksgiving posts in the works.  I decided to break them up with a little Hanukah for you guys. More than anything Hanukah is a fun holiday that (like so many others) [...]

A Thanksgiving Feast

[November 29]

Even though turkey was not on the menu for Thanksgiving, I found a way to stuff myself silly (and then I did it again with leftovers on Friday and again on Saturday)! So much of Thanksgiving is vegetarian by nature which makes things really easy.  It’s everyone’s first reaction to think that Thanksgiving is so [...]

Happy Turkeyless Day

[November 25]

One of the things I love about this holiday is that it’s a great opportunity to appreciate what we have to appreciate out in the open.  I can’t help but meditate a bit on what I’m really thankful for (I mean it’s in the name, there’s not much avoiding it!). Here are some things I’m [...]

A Vegetarian Thanksgiving

[November 24]

To be honest I’ve been entirely distracted for the past few days to think about Thanksgiving which is absolutely, totally sad.  I love Thanksgiving.  I love what it stands for, I love that it brings family together, and I love that it revolved around food (and all those fabulous fall vegetables). Nonetheless, I’ve been coming [...]

A Vegan 2nd Birthday

[November 8]

Saturday was Avital’s birthday and we had a little party for her at my parents’ house.  It’s really difficult to throw a small party with our family because there are just soooooo many of us.  Because of that we really limited it to family and her boyfriend, Ike, and of course his fam. I always [...]
