I love gifting and receiving edible gifts. I think the most loving thing you can do is to create something nourishing for someone you love. The second best thing…buy something that nourishes someone you love. I created this pumpkin butter lickety-split and am definitely going to use it for gifting. One batch makes four 8 […]

One of my favorite snack foods has always been chips and queso dip. I take comfort in the act of dipping. I love the heat and the flavor. There is something otherworldly about a salty tortilla chip with hot cheesy orange sauce. I even loved the not-really-even-nachos from stadiums and church fairs. I have tried […]

I found this article on This Dish is Veg and I thought it was so outrageous I wanted to share it with you. Mac Smith writes about a program created by the Buffalo Exchange called Coats For Cubs. The Exchange collects fur coats and fur trimmed accessories and donates them to wildlife organizations to use […]

Thank you friends for your kind and healing wishes. I am taking life gently and mostly dining on muscle relaxers and codeine. I wanted to share a cool gifting idea for the holidays or any day. I shared earlier about our visit to the Florida Oceanographic Society in Stuart, Florida. Like many other sanctuaries of […]

I have found that my desire for fresh cooked squash is frequently stifled by my lack of desire to prep the squash. Most winter squash varieties require a chain saw to cut and cube. Sometimes it is more of a commitment than I want to make for a meal. Photo By: S. Duquet So, yesterday […]

I have seen these nuts at least a half dozen times and have been intrigued. Their packaging is alluring which is a draw for me. I threw them in the cart this time. They are wildly delicious so I wanted to share. Sahale has several nut blends to choose from, but I went right for […]

A month ago or so I shared with you that Sandy and I had launched 2 Edgy Veggies Meatless Monday Meals to go. The idea was to create a gourmet vegan meal-for-one that the client could pick up on Monday morning. They would have a hand crafted meal that had been prepared for them with […]

It’s nearing the launch of the holiday season as Thanksgiving is only a month away. For many, this November dinner feast is the initial family gathering, kicking off festivities that are centered around food and traditions. The standard centerpiece for most families is a turkey, complete with all the trimmings. I’ve been vegetarian for 14 […]

In the past week, I’ve been hearing a lot about the GMO labeling petition. I’ve seen several email alerts, read on sites and heard people talking about the petition to ask the Food and Drug Administration to require labeling of genetically modified foods. There are several hundred organizations that have joined forces to promote the […]

I have to be honest with you…until I became vegan, I didn’t really give much thought to the ingredients in many of the products (especially cosmetic) I used on a regular basis. I just lived, purchased, painted and puckered despite hearing many of the same terrifying things I am sure you have heard…lipstick contains harmful […]
