Welcome to the Virtual Vegan Potluck! I made you cookies! Lots and lots of cookies. Oatmeal Cherry Chocolate Chip cookies to be exact. If I bring a dessert to a potluck, I usually always bring cookies, especially if I know there are going to be other desserts. Why, you ask? Well, I may just be … Continue reading »
Remember when I said that I’ve abandoned oatmeal as my breakfast of choice? Well, that’s still the case. The very thought of it is turning me off. The thought of the plain, wholesome taste of Morning O’s (Cheerio’s, Whole Foods style) in a bowl of cold almond milk, however, is what makes me rush home … Continue reading »
Back in the day, my friend used to host a cookie exchange party every year. Everyone would bring about 40-50 cookies and the recipe printed out on an index card. Each person would get to take 2 of each type of cookie as well as the recipe for each cookie. It was an awesome party … Continue reading »
Over the summer, I became pretty attached to my morning acai bowl. When I began working again, I realized I had forgotten how to make the breakfast I’d made every morning for about four years prior to the acai bowl: oatmeal.

After my first … Continue reading »
Chris told me recently that “It’s not quite dessert unless there’s chocolate in it.” Is there any question as to why I adore him? So I was all set to make some sort of chocolatey dessert to surprise him with after a long, hard day of work, when I found that I was out of … Continue reading »
My relationship with grapefruit has come a long way. There’s no nice way of saying this, but I used to detest grapefruit. When I joined a CSA, they started sending me different varieties of grapefruit, and I forced myself to use them. I soon found that if you put them in salads, along with a … Continue reading »
Growing up, my parents never told me what the ice cream man was because they didn’t want me running into the street every time I saw him. They also probably didn’t want me always begging for ice cream. Either way, up until the age of 9 or 10, I always thought the ice cream man … Continue reading »
I am on spring break! Or, my stepkids are, rather, and I am lucky enough to be able to hang with them while they enjoy their week off. My favorite spring breaks were when I was in college. I never did the hard-core, crazy partying at some tropical beach town. I was never seen on … Continue reading »
