Lemon-Thyme Berry Crisp

Whenever the weather changes and the new seasonal produce starts showing up at the grocery store and at farmer’s markets, I’m thrilled. Every year, without fail, I will say to myself “Ooooh! Persimmons!, “Ooooh! Acorn squash!,” “Ooooh! Asparagus!,” and “Ooooh! Berries!” A couple of weekends ago, it was the latter that I uttered just before filling [...]

I’m beginning to show signs of aging. It’s not so much in the way I look, though, I am showing signs there too. Bags-under-my-eyes, I’m looking at you! I’m finding these signs in my day to day life: the way I react to certain things, what bothers me more, what bothers me less, the things [...]

“Why is it 85 degrees at 8:00 am?” I yelled at my car radio this morning. I am totally one of those people that you see talking or yelling while they’re driving by themselves. I don’t have road rage by any stretch of the imagination, but I do talk to the radio. I correct the way [...]

My dad used to make the tartest, most sugary lemonade of all time. The kind where your lips would pucker and you’d slightly wince after every sip. But it was so sweet that I kept going back for another drink. By the time I was done, my tongue was raw and I could probably feel [...]

I could write a book about the roommates I’ve had in my time. There was the one who kept the couch cushions in his room when he wasn’t home so we couldn’t sit on the couch. There was the one who decided our dining room would be the perfect home for a huge snake named [...]

You know when summer just feels so good all you want to do is just slow down, relax, and basically just be lazy? I think the official term for this feeling is “summer laziness.”  That’s what my doctor called it, anyway. Well, those times call for super delicious food that’s easy to make.  Even better [...]

I like strawberries a whole lot.  During the summer months, I could easily eat a pound of strawberries a day.  I don’t.  I’m just saying that I could. There are a couple of reasons I practice restraint.  1.) I’m sometimes too busy enjoying my other favorite summer fruits, like blueberries and nectarines, and 2.) I [...]

The job I was working when I decided to go vegan was as a nutritional advisor at a personal catering company, which was run by a celebrity nutritionist here in LA.  Daily, I would listen to people tell me about their food preferences and their goals regarding this new eating plan, whether it was for [...]

Nothing feels more like spring to me than when strawberries and asparagus start popping up at the market or in my CSA delivery. Well, the tree outside of our dining room window beginning to bloom comes pretty darn close. And the part where I can start driving with my sun-roof open is pretty great. Oh, [...]

Sometimes, I get a hunger that only something sweet and lemony will cure. There’s just something about a little bright and lemony dessert that makes my senses sing. It’s an interesting thing because it’s rarely something I’ll choose, unless I’m really craving it.  If given the choice between a blueberry muffin and a lemon poppy [...]

Shortly after getting home from our vacation in NYC, Chris and I got a pretty bad head cold.  It was the first full-blown cold that we’ve had in a looooong time and I’m so thankful that it wasn’t the flu, but we were pretty tore up. When both of us were both achy and exhausted [...]

With our busy schedules, The Chickpea and I don’t often get a chance to enjoy breakfast together.  What, with me being a working girl again and him being so popular with the ladies (at least he comes home to me!), breakfast is usually something quick that I can take on the road.

One of the small joys I get every day is reading the search terms used to find Keepin’ It Kind.  The lovely and humorous Abby, of Abby Has Issues, sometimes reveals on Facebook the wild search terms used to find her site, and though mine are not nearly as crazy as hers, they do put a [...]

In the summer, I crave anything lemon-flavored (which you’ve likely already guessed from this post or this post).  One day, I was in the kitchen, making hummus (what else is new?), and what was going to be a simple fresh herb hummus, was somehow transformed into something different.  I was squeezing a lemon for fresh [...]

I never ate a fresh green bean until I was about 24.  Until that glorious day, I had only experienced the canned variety (my family was big on canned food).  The age of 24 is when I first became interested in farmer’s markets and fresh foods.  I would buy mostly just fresh fruit, with the [...]

This last Saturday, on queue for Family Movie Night was Auntie Mame.  This movie takes me back to my childhood, as it was always one of my Dad’s favorites and I watched it several times as a child.  I hadn’t seen in it about 20 years, and Chris had only seen parts of it, so [...]

During my first summer in LA, one of my favorite things to do was take Samantha, my canine companion, to the dog beach in Huntington Beach.  It was a completely selfish routine, as Samantha hated water or anything even remotely wet.  I just liked sitting near the ocean with my good friend and she was [...]

One of my most favorite cities in the world is Barcelona.  It is such a beautiful, whimsical city, complete with insane architecture, gorgeous beaches, the best farmer’s market you’ll ever go to, nap time, and tapas.  I’ve not been to Barcelona since becoming vegan, but as a vegetarian, there were a few staple tapas that [...]
