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 [...]
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!

We have a few standard soups and stews that we make often, and [...]
Brownie Experiment… Moment of Truth
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009And now…. for the moment of truth…. My Vegan-ish Sweet Potato Fudge Brownie recipe is not a complete failure! Yay! After an extra 20 minutes in the oven (that’s 40 minutes total for those of you who want to attempt it on your own), the brownies are mostly set up and cake-like, but still very [...]
Experimental Vegan-ish Sweet Potato Fudge Brownies
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Recently, I remember stumbling across a delicious-sounding recipe for fudge brownies using sweet potatoes to reduce the fat and sugar content. Today I was totally in the mood for chocolate, so I decided it was time to rustle through my magazine rack in an attempt to find the magazine containing the recipe. Finally, I found [...]
Spring: Rejuvenation!
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009After a week of fighting a cold, the last few days of which the cold won, I really needed a relaxing weekend. I skipped yoga Thursday night and went to sleep early, but woke up feeling even worse Friday morning. I stayed home from work on Friday and slept 15 hours, and Saturday I again [...]
