Pumpkin & Pomegranate

Ok, so anyone remember me talking about my favorite Greek Place? No? Have I even mentioned it? I can’t even remember for sure, but there is this great little family owned Greek hamburger joint that I adore. They make the best falafel I have ever had, and since I stopped eating most meat when I [...]

Anyone ever watch Troop Beverly Hills? One of my favorite movies from my childhood, and while making these delights I thought that they would be the perfect way to snack on trail mix for the Beverly Hills Wilderness Girls. These won’t work out in a Zip-Loc baggie in a backpack, but they would still be [...]

If you recall, back in December I had a blog posting on black bean soup. I mentioned that I was trying to re-create our family friend’s recipe without knowing what was actually in it. well I e-mailed my friend and asked her what her mother’s recipe actually was, and she was kind enough to give [...]

I have yet another homemade item to show you. Not like this is all that special, but I made my own hemp milk the other day. After reading that carrageenan causes inflammatory bowel disease, I just figured that since I already suffer from IBS I don’t really want to add to the issue. I am [...]

I came home from work on Tuesday and for some reason was craving a smoothie. Not sure why, but I decided that a smoothie and a bath would not be a bad idea at all. Last time I went to Healeo I decided to nix the dates (I already shun agave) and I added in [...]

A little housekeeping note. I am going to start replying to most of the comments in the comment section rather than e-mailing everyone separately. I will still do that from time to time too, but often the reply is something that others might benefit from, so don’t think I ignored you if you don’t get [...]

Yesterday was Cinco De Mayo so of course I had to make Mexican food. I re-did the Mexican quinoa (with a few minor adjustments, which I also made to the previous blog), and I also tried my hand at some Marissified enchiladas. I admit that this first attempt was not perfect. in fact next time [...]

Yesterday I decided to make my own sunflower seed butter. I love Sunbutter, but find it to be prohibitively expensive. If you can afford it, great! if you are like me and trying to save your pennies, then you might try to make your own. Especially since sunflower seeds are fairly inexpensive compared to nuts [...]

I have some odd little quirks. For some reason I LOVE when I get down to the bare bones in my pantry/fridge/freezer, and I equally love stocking it back up! Lately I have just not been in the mood to drag my butt to the store, and so it has been a bit of the [...]

April 24th through May 2nd there will be vegan bake sales around the globe. I urge you to go and purchase some goodies to support fantastic causes, and if you can, donate some vegan goodies you have baked yourself! Also, you can check the Vegan Bake Sale website to find out about future bake sales [...]
