I’m in love with Joseph Shuldiner’s new recipe book Pure Vegan. It’s beautifully presented (yes, I’m a sucker for sexy photos of food), and it’s all VEGAN and mostly whole-foods / plant-based, and by this I mean that not all the recipes depend on… Continue Reading “baked ratatouille”
It doesn’t happen very often, but sometimes I get a nasty craving for something creamy… and attending to this craving vegan-style has been easier than I ever would have thought! This dish is cooked, but if you want something raw, check out my chili… Continue Reading “creamy mushroom and leek pasta”
It wasn’t my intention to do two blogs in one day, but you have to strike while inspiration is hot, right?! My goal for 2013 is to try a new recipe every week, and given it’s Sunday of the first week, I had to… Continue Reading “spanish lentils and mushroom stew”
Today was shopping day and organic berries and stone fruits are out in force, so we spent most of the afternoon eating the delicious selection of cherries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, grapes, apricots, and nectarines I so naughtily washed and placed on the counter. As… Continue Reading “moroccan quinoa pilaf”
I need some time to think about what to write about my Beauty Detox experience as I want to rant and rave about how much I’m not enjoying it but feel like, on day 2, I’m not far enough in to make a valid… Continue Reading “banana (gr)oatmeal”
Today I played gardener, handy(wo)man, cleaner, laundry-lady, interior (re)decorator, and yogi. Come 6:30pm however, I just didn’t have the energy to add grocery-shopper or gourmet chef to that list! I didn’t eat much all day – about 8 bananas, a dozen medjool dates, and… Continue Reading “hearty lentil soup”
It is a miserable afternoon in Boston… raining and cold and supposedly snowing later on. There are Halloween parties I’m supposed to dress up for, then there’s what I want to do, which is to stay at home writing my MBA application essays and watching movies… Continue Reading “farm fresh tomato soup, no cans allowed”
This was an unexpectedly spectacular outcome of a big cooked vegan experiment last night in an effort to use up some of the vegetables I got from my Marshall’s Fenway Farm Stand CSA in the last week or so. It was also the result of a… Continue Reading “butternut squash and red potato bisque”
I haven’t been a very good raw foodie since I saw Forks over Knives the weekend before last… A combination of feeling good about the health benefits of a whole food plant based diet and the eight straight days of Boston rain resulted in me… Continue Reading “whole foods plant-based diet good, but not as good as raw…”
I finally saw Forks Over Knives this afternoon and it was as good as I expected it / wanted it to be! It provides a good balance of scientific research and clinical evidence, statistics and human experience, fact and practical advice that illustrate the… Continue Reading “raw vegan vs. whole food plant based diets”
