Why are you trying so hard to fit in, when you’re born to stand out.
~ Oliver James
I’d have to say that of all the foods out there, deep-fried foods really have never been my thing. It’s no secret that I always gravitate towards clean foods versus, well, the alternative (and this is not to say I deem the food I don’t prefer to eat as unclean). Continue reading

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
When I think of a potluck, I can’t begin to tell you the memories that flood my mind and fill me with a nostalgic sense of where I come from. As a child of the 70′s, I remember the basics: edible flowers in wooden bowls, and lacy patchouli scented tablecloths strewn with every type of home-grown sprout & fresh tofu or edible wild green. Circles of hands & the feeling of well-worked adult fingers wrapped around mine. Continue reading

After all, isn’t this precisely what we want from our food, and really, in so many ways….our lives? I know it is for me. Continue reading

I’ve long wanted to feature a recipe with tempeh on the blog, so I’ve simply got to say this is surely overdue. The truth is, even as long-term (my whole life) vegetarian (zero meat or fish – ever), the truth is, I’m not really a huge fan of soy. Growing up, tofu was a regular feature on my mom’s vegetarian dinner table, and we kids never passed it up with her deliciously fried medium tofu cubes that tasted amazing cooked up in plenty of soy sauce and then dunked in ketchup to seal the deal. Ah, the good old days. But I digress. Continue reading
