Our last stop on our Atlanta Vegan Grub Crawl was Healthful Essence, a Caribbean vegan/vegetarian restaurant, featuring Jamaican specialties.  As we walked through the door we were greeted by reggae music and the smell of incense and spicy things. They have a rotating menu of raw as well as cooked dishes to choose from. The […]

We are on the road again, this time travelling to the East coast of Florida. The plan is to celebrate my birthday, see our nephews and niece Isabella and reacquaint ourselves with warmth and sunshine.  We have a full tank of gas, a cooler full of vegan edibles and our sleepy Chihuahua. But before we […]

11/16 Battle of the Eggnogs

Eggnog is one of the things I look forward to with baited breath every holiday season. I love its comforting, smooth drinkability and its warm spicy flavor. I am also wooed by its limited availability. Its “enjoy me now because I won’t be here long” attitude makes me want it more. A few days ago […]

8/22 An All Inclusive Juicer

During the  fifteen day juice fast, many of you inquired about my juicer of choice. At that time, my broken juicer was barely hanging on and I was researching new juicers.

6/8 Primal Hunger

I have found that I feel my best when I eat all day long. I like to snack between meals, on my way to work and on my way home. I eat when I am hungry to avoid becoming ravenous and insane. When I come home from work famished and emotionally  beat down by retail […]

5/25 When Things Melt, Buy More

This week our refrigerator chilled its last piece of kale. The freezer went first without warning, followed by the fridge several hours later. By the time I got home from work it was making a groaning noise not compatible with kitchen appliances. As is usually the case with major appliance malfunction, I had already invited […]

5/23 A Gem To Share

I am being held captive by the most enchanting novel. I am enjoying it so much that I wanted to share. It is called The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender. It is lilting in its beauty and profound in its concept. The narrator of our story is a  nine year old named […]
