I enjoy running and weight lifting and eating a healthy plant-based diet. I get plenty of nutrients from my food because my workouts are pretty moderate. My husband on the other hand has been doing P90x. With a workout this [...]

This has meant countless apps, blogs, feeds and searching to get just the recipes that I want. [...]

As a follow-up to my previous post “The ‘Buch is On!” I can say that it appears to have been a successful experiment. I finally had a thin, white, filmy pancake looking SCOBY grow on top of my tea brew. It looked like kombucha, it smelled like kombucha, so I called it done. I [...]

She made the switch a few years ago in response to high cholesterol. Rather than take medication daily, she decided to alter her diet and lifestyle. I’ve always dabbled in healthy eating, mixing in both vegan and vegetarian cuisine, but claiming neither [...]

As you may know from previous posts I jumped on the iPhone bandwagon, and I’m glad that I did. I’ve found a lot of really useful, fun and entertaining apps, but my current favorite is Mark Bittman’s [...]

It’s quick and easy and a big hit with the family. Note that it is vegetarian, not vegan and does include dairy. Here’s what you’ll need to make it: 1 bun or 2 slices of [...]

My noodle dish is only really big enough for the three of us, despite the fact that it says serves four. So, I whipped up a quick post of miso soup to [...]

As a result, we have begun to incorporate new and interesting ingredients to keep things fun, new and flavorful.
