How have you been? What have you been up to? Things have felt a little crazy around here. I haven’t been taking the best care of myself lately. Working long days. Worrying late into the night. Walking too much on my still-sore ankle. And forgetting the importance of deep breaths and down time. The one… Continue Reading

Raw Caramel and Fudge Brownies
Yes, hi… I’m sorry, I’m that lady next door. You know, the one that uses her food processor at 10 pm at night to make raw desserts? The one that wakes you up every morning with the sound of a Vitamix blender? The one that you see with bags of greens and always you wonder… Continue Reading
Raw Zucchini Pasta with Pesto
I received two pounds of basil in my CSA box last week. Logically, there was only one thing to do with it: make pesto. It took forever to de-stem that much basil, but the prepwork is one of those repetitive kitchen tasks that I don’t mind doing. And I always love the end result… that… Continue Reading
Fava Bean and Tomato Salad
Fava beans, huh? What the heck are fava beans? A few weeks ago I had never even heard of fava beans. That all changed when these little beauties showed up in my CSA box. Fava beans are the craziest things. If you’ve never seen one, I have to say that they are amazing. These beans… Continue Reading
Summertime Classic Potato Salad
It’s just not a summer without potato salad. There are a million recipes out there for potato salad too – ones with tempeh, soy bacon, apple cider vinegar, and lots of other fun additions. I decided to make the “classic” version. Ok, I admit, it’s not the healthiest thing for you with the vegan mayo… Continue Reading
Raw Zucchini Pasta with Carrot-Cashew Creme Sauce
I thought it might be fun to make a raw Italian-inspired dish this weekend to celebrate the opening of Eat Pray Love. Of course, I know this is nothing like what Elizabeth Gilbert ate during her stay in Rome, but it is a delicious, creamy dish with all the comfort-food feeling of a bowl of… Continue Reading
Carrot, Cabbage, and Beet Slaw
It’s August. The sun is out and the weather is only going to get warmer this weekend. This can only mean one thing: it’s picnic season. Get out there people. Here’s my little contribution to your picnic. I adapted this recipe from Cherie Calbom’s class and added in some beets. The result is a beautiful… Continue Reading
Strawberry and Basil Ice Cream
Ah, strawberries and basil. Two beautiful summer tastes blended together in a dessert. Can it get any better than this? There are a lot of things in your life that could use a little basil. And yes, your ice cream is one of them. It’s okay if you have doubts. You can even mock me… Continue Reading
Spelt Berry & Bean Salad
Being on crutches for the last couple of days has been an interesting experience. At first, I felt awkward being out in public. Slowing people down on the sidewalk. Strangers constantly rushing to open doors for me. But, the beauty of this experience is that I got to have many conversations with different people that… Continue Reading
Popsicles!
Do you ever have a moment when you are amazed at the Universe’s plan for you? A few days ago while reading my favorite new book, The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, I began to realize how much I love lying around the house reading. Of course, who has time for this? There are too… Continue Reading
