Hey guys! I know I’ve been MIBA (missing in blog action), but it was crunch time last week as I finished up a final project. Thankfully, it’s all down hill now! The only thorn in my cranky side is trying to accumulate more freelance work since a couple of my gigs go on hiatus over [...]

Hey people! Gotta admit — the U.S. is all about the “bigger is better”/”check out the size of my engine” mentality. Let’s face it — soon you’ll be able to supersize anything, which, as a result, has led to supersized bills, health concerns and environmental hazards. This is all a small rant for me to [...]

Hey guys! How goes it? Two words: DONUT CUPCAKES. I’ll wait while you digest that beautiful pair of words and clean up your slobber. If you’ve been vegan for a while there’s no doubt you’ve heard of the cook-book Veganomicon by the same authors who run Post Punk Kitchen and who’ve written Vegan Cupcakes Take [...]

Updated 8/16/11 Any lifestyle change is going to, invariably, be met with intrigue…and sometimes criticism. Veganism is definitely one of those changes that might be met with concern (there’s a lot of myth that vegetarians and vegans are protein and nutrient deprived) and/or met with a scoff and the question, “well, what will you eat? [...]

Hey, it’s me…again…in one day?! I know, crazy, right? I wanted to give a shout-out to my gorgeous Costa Rican momma who had her birthday yesterday. Dude, I think my mom is getting younger! She is always smiling, dancing, singing and goofing off. Her beautiful accented voice charms everyone — and we all can’t help [...]

Hey guys! I wanted to give a quick review of Alicia Silverstone’s The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet I was reading Alicia’s book when I decided to try out veganism. Alicia writes the way my friends and I talk/text/write — a lot of rhetorical questions and [...]

Hey guys! I wanted to share the recipes for the vegan meals I made on Christmas. I chose Thai food a) because it’s delicious and b) because Vegetarian Times did a piece on how Thai philosophy emphasizes health by eating seasonal foods and balancing the “four basic elements of life: earth, water, wind, and fire.” [...]

Hey guys! How are you?!  I had a wonderful Christmas celebration at my brother and sister-in-law’s house. It’s always so nice to eat meals together in a relaxed setting. As we’ve all either began our own families or gotten increasingly busy, it’s become challenging to find time to just enjoy one another’s company over a [...]

Hey guys! It’s been a while, eh? If we were in a relationship this could definitely be termed a “break” (though hopefully not a contentious fiasco like the Ross vs. Rachel “break”). It feels good to be back — so much has happened recently! I wish I could divulge all the goodies, but that’ll have [...]

Updated 11/24/09 Hey guys! While my mom and I traditionally make side dishes that just so happen to have always been vegetarian, I am excited to try the following recipes to add to the mix of vegetarian options at our dinner table (there’s going to be at least 10 of us!): Miso Soup with Sweet [...]
