Thanks for hanging in there while Keepin’ It Kind went into hibernation mode through the winter. We had a nice long nap and when we woke up we had a nice big Springtime hankering for all things basil. I got busy in the kitchen and here I am now, presenting you with this lovely bowl [...]

It has been ages since I’ve done a book review. And I have a stack of brilliant cookbooks that deserve reviews but I haven’t gotten around to it. And I have no idea if I will. I have really good intentions but I only have so much time and energy. But when I received a copy of [...]

I have plenty to say about this pesto rice casserole and about how much I can’t stop making/eating it but I feel like I need to get some stuff off my chest. I have some confessions to make. I am not someone who can work multiple jobs and keep their sanity (you can add that [...]

When I first started blogging there were a handful of blogs that always blew me away with the tastiness of their recipes, the quality of their writing, and the beauty of their photography. One of these blogs was Cupcakes and Kale. Jessica Nadel, herself, was so cute and down to earth and totally one of [...]

When I received my review copy of (culinary wizard) Terry Hope Romero’s newest book, Salad Samurai: 100 Cutting-Edge, Ultra-Hearty, Easy-to-Make Salads You Don’t Have to Be Vegan to Love, I died. I died and went to glorious salad heaven. In Salad Samurai, Romero shares 100 salads, all broken down by season. There’s also a slew of [...]

We don’t usually keep faux meats in our house. It’s not because we don’t like them. I don’t have anything against them either. We just usually prefer whole food ingredients. During our transition into veganism, however, we relied on faux meats pretty heavily. I think they’re great for a quick, convenient meal and totally perfect [...]

This time of year, we get a lot of different types of greens in our weekly CSA delivery. I’m not complaining- I love my greens!  Kale, chard, collards, spinach, mustard greens, arugula, cabbage, and more- I love them all! The problem arises when I get more greens than I have time to eat.  I put [...]

There is just something about the word “flatbread” that makes me drool.  It’s very Pavlovian, actually. At the mere mention of the word, I am dreaming about warm, doughy bread, slathered with yummy things like hummus or tapenade.  When I read the lovely Shira‘s post on Chickpea Flatbread & Basil Pistou, I was mesmerized by her recipe.

There are times when my creativity is flowing, and then there are times when the river slows to just a trickle.  Lately, the river has completely dried up. My mind has been all over the place, everywhere except in my cooking or writing.  I may pause, in the middle of preparing a dish, to ponder [...]

Are you familiar with Spork Foods?  You know, the gourmet vegan food company in Los Angeles, offering vegan cooking classes?  It’s owned by two adorable sisters, Heather Goldberg and Jenny Engel?  They recently published a vegan cookbook, Spork Fed?  Yes, that Spork Foods!  Well, last Thursday night, Chris, the twins, and I had the pleasure [...]

Since moving to Marina del Rey two years ago, we’ve discovered several things about our neighborhood.  We share the ‘hood with a TON of ducks (Chris and I refer to them as the Duck Gangs since they hang out in packs) and though they are partial to kicking it in front of the library, you [...]

Recently, I was reunited with an old friend.  After becoming vegan, this particular friend was not too happy with my decision.  She felt like I had abandoned her and after a few failed attempts at trying to make things work, we parted ways.  We just didn’t see things the same way anymore, and though I [...]

For some reason, unbeknownst to me, pesto is not a welcome ingredient in my family.  If mentioned, my parents would scrunch their noses.  At large family gatherings, there was never any pesto-containing dishes.  No one ever spoke of it.  I grew up thinking it was something extremely fancy and disgusting at the same time (like [...]

It’s the last day of Grilled Cheese Sandwich month!  I had to squeeze one in before the month ended! This is a super simple sandwich (if you have the ingredients prepared), with a very basic recipe, but so delicious I couldn’t not share it.  The combination of pesto and goat cheese has always been one [...]

Every Saturday night is “Family Movie Night” in our house.  Sometimes the movie is a new release, or something the twins have seen without us, but most of the time, we watch “older” flicks.  Chris and I really get a kick out of sharing with the twins the movies that we loved when we were [...]

You know how some days, even the most mundane tasks seem incredibly daunting?  Laundry.  Making a pot of coffee.  Putting on shoes.  And to top it off, its super cold and blustery outside.  You know those days.  Yesterday was one of those days for me.  Everything seemed to require a huge amount of energy and [...]
