2/3 Dark Chocolate Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies

Happy Meatless Monday. I have a recipe to share that is going to change the way you enjoy peanut butter cookies forever.  My friend Katie made these cookies she found on TreeHugger.com and they were  insane enough to share with me. I have since made them myself and have nearly come unhinged knowing they are […]

1/6 Baked Potato Soup

Happy Meatless Monday. Like many of you across the country, Michigan has been plunged into a  blistering cold,  crunchy, barren world of white. It feels more  like Antarctica than my home.  The first night of the storm the snow tumbled from the sky, heavy and wet…perfect for packing. My best friend Amy and I suited […]

12/23 Vegan Quiche

Happy Meatless Monday. When I was a little girl, we always had quiche on Christmas morning. It was my Mom’s thing. She made it every year and it was divine. It was the most decadent way to celebrate  a holiday that always began so early in the morning. Since becoming vegan, Sandy has perfected vegan […]

12/16 Apple Beet Ginger Juice

Happy Meatless Monday. On our most recent trip to Florida I got re-addicted to fresh juice. There was the most bizarre cafe/store/gas station by our hotel that was cranking out some serious fresh juices.  My new fave flavor combination is apple, beet, ginger. It is sweet and earthy with a slightly aggressive ginger bite. Now […]

12/9 Five Vegan Food Gifts

Happy Meatless Monday. The gifting season is upon us. Gifts for teachers, neighbors, friends and family. My favorite gifts to give are always  from our kitchen.  A foodie gift says, ” You are so special to me that I would like to nourish you with something I made myself.” That  kind of gift is always […]

Pumpkin Chia Muffins w/Pumpkin Maple Butter

Happy Meatless Monday. Autumn has finally bullied my perfect Michigan Summer into submission. Summer ran away without looking back. The leaves have changed and are covering our yards like orange and yellow blankets, thick and heavy from rain and wind. It is time to turn on the oven. It is time for warm breakfasts and […]

10/16 Vegan Running

Sandy and I are training for our third half marathon. The run is on November 24th in St Petersburg, Florida. It is a women’s only event that hosts over twenty thousand women every year. Four years ago while flipping through the pages of a women’s running magazine I saw the advertisement for the race. It […]

10/14 Sea Salt Caramel Dip

Happy Meatless Monday. I have never been so excited to share a recipe. Photographing it became a battle between right and wrong. It took everything I had to not gobble down the entire plate of goodness. I absolutely love caramel apple dip. The minute I see a leaf change color and feel a slight chill […]
