Crisp, Crumble, Cobbler…
Wednesday, August 10th, 2011My favorite late summer activity in our new house is definitely picking berries! I have been absolutely reveling in the abundant berries that ripen each day. I’ve been experimenting with baking creations, too. Today I went out to pick berries, thinking that since we had completely picked through the blueberries and blackberries the past 3 [...]
Late Summer Berry Bliss
Thursday, August 4th, 2011We just returned from a week’s vacation in the form of Ashtanga Yoga teacher training (for me) and camping trip (for all three of us) in Burlington, Vermont. We had an absolutely amazing time, and I will post more about the yoga teacher training in the coming days. Coming home was both wonderful (there’s nothing [...]
A Raw/Vegan Feast with Friends
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011A few nights ago, we went to a dinner party with some friends we met through yoga. We love dinner parties! Being vegan (Garrett) and vegetarian (me), it is sometimes tricky to have dinner parties at other people’s houses, since unless they too are vegetableatarians, they may not be familiar with how to cook a [...]
Bar Harbor Favorite: McKays Public House Restaurant
Monday, August 16th, 2010I have a new hands-down favorite restaurant in Bar Harbor, Maine. McKays Public House is a winner any way you look at it! Absolutely delicious food, varied menu including vegetarian and vegan options, relaxing and friendly atmosphere, reasonable prices, gorgeous gardens and both indoor and outdoor seating, (and the best part) and they use organic [...]
Theo, my love (aka Cacao, wow!)
Monday, July 12th, 2010This just in (but not news to me): Chocolate, aka Theobroma cacao aka cocoa, is GOOD for you! Like, realllly good! I gladly inherited chocoholicism from my dad, particularly desiring the delicious bitter bite of really dark chocolate. Mmmmmm… Theo(broma), my love!

A breath of fresh air… and some home-grown veggies!
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010My blog has certainly taken a turn from nature-outdoorsy-crafty-yoga-chick blog to a new-momma-with-a-baby blog, and I apologize to any readers (assuming there are any!) who couldn’t care less whether I dress my darling Maddie in cloth diapers or banana leaves to keep her “compost” from composting our house and yard. For you tree-hugging, natural-living, nature-loving, [...]
Sweet Potato Coconut Soup… whoaaaa yummm!
Sunday, February 7th, 2010Soups and stews are among my favorite dishes to make during cold winter nights. The fact that they include tossing a bunch of ingredients in ONE pot, thereby decreasing the amount of resulting dishes is an added plus for us non-dishwasher-owning folks. We have a few standard soups and stews that we make often, and [...]
Things You Should NOT Be Putting in Your Mouth
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010I saw this post on the Olive Bites Blog, who saw it on aol news… and I just felt inclined to repost it and pass the info along. After all, as Olive Bites notes, Knowledge is Power! The Endocrinologist Won’t Eat Canned Tomatoes Fredrick Vom Saal, Ph.D., is an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri who [...]
Long sabbatical… Maternity Leave!
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009It has been quite some time since my last post…. late July! I have been busy… but no excuses. I am now on maternity leave (yes, I’m pregnant!) and I am eagerly anticipating the arrival of our little daughter. I have so many posts that I have wanted to put up, some fully formulated in [...]
Green Tomatoes… Whooda thunk!?
Thursday, July 30th, 2009Today when I sliced open my tomatoes for my lunch, I noticed that the insides were green… green seeds, green slimy stuff. That prompted me to head to the endless internet to look for info to be sure my “green tomatoes” were okay to eat. I imagined they were, since they were perfectly red on [...]
