Happy Mother’s Day to all you fine mommas out there! Rewind to yesterday: Since we have lots of moms to celebrate this year, my husband made dinner reservations on Saturday. Mad props to the husbo for: 1. making reservations, 2. making them on Saturday at 4pm when the restaurant would not be so busy, and…
Almond Date Cream: Take 2
As mentioned in a previous post, I love almonds and I love dates, so I had to try the Almond Date Cream recipe in my new Vegan Planet Cookbook. (I think the book calls it Almond Butter Cream, but that didn’t seem an accurate description to me.) The first time around, I couldn’t resist modifying…
Dates and the Internet Cafe
Hi, all! Long time, no blog! I didn’t post yesterday. I got home from work around 5pm, and it was a beautiful, sunshiny day. Two choices: sit down and blog, or move my butt and get some exercise with my boy. I love you dearly, but you lost. Nothing personal. 🙂 News: We decided to…
Oh, Shoots!
Our first peas of the season are growing fast and furiously, which means that even before we harvest those little green sweeties, we get to enjoy the one thing I look forward to more than anything else each spring… Pea shoots! I’m so excited I can hardly stand it! And we’ve got a lot of…
Race Against Racism 5K

Not Milk?
So, in my quest to make every day’s food choices just a little bit healthier for me and, in turn, my boy, I have removed nearly all dairy from my life. Some parts of it haven’t been so difficult. I’ve never been one to sit down and drink a big glass of milk. In fact,…
Feel-Good Moments
Maybe it was the gorgeous weather…. or maybe I owe it to the first good night’s sleep I’ve had in months…. Whatever the reason, the past 2 days have been just overflowing with happy little feel-good moments. They’re always there, you know. You just have to be in the right mindset to notice and appreciate…
Gestational Diabetes: What I learned…
When I found out I was pregnant, I vowed to myself that I was going to keep my weight gain under control so that I would be able to lose it without too much of a fight after my baby was born. I also had high blood pressure, and I knew that excessive weight gain…
Initial Thoughts on Food…
I am not a health nut. I will admit, I am WAY intrigued by Peeps Italian Ice at Rita’s (though a little sample spoon would surely take care of that), and I just may break down and try the Maple French Toast and Bacon Cupcake recipe I’ve been saving for a rainy day. If it…
