Polluted…that’s how I’ve felt ever since getting back from California. We had a super fun weekend down in Orange County…visited some friends, ate some tacos, hit a few bars, went to Six Flags Magic Mountain, and walked around Laguna Beach. Not a bad way to spend a couple days! The weather was perfect, albeit a [...]

The weather has been heating up here in the Rose City! It’s the first week of May and already we’re experiencing perfectly clear, hot summer days in the 80′s! I for one am a huge fan, the EHH(extremely handsome husband) however, is not so keen on the warmer temps, both him and the dog just [...]

There’s been an awful lot of yammering going on in Portland these last few weeks. Once again, the vote over fluoridation of our city’s drinking water is coming up on May 13. And as there is so much propaganda, mis-information, and biased studies–ON BOTH SIDES, I figured that I should re-post my findings from a [...]

I was talking to my dad about my latest creation in the kitchen, I think it was some kind of broccoli-millet casserole type thing, anyways, [...]

Ever since I’ve had my Mr. Pants (our 4 1/2 y.o. puggle) he has had a few minor health issues. One of them is a bit more embarrassing than the rest, in that he can’t seem to ‘clear’ his glands when he goes…yeah, I’m talking about poop…again. So over the years we’ve changed his food, [...]

…The ‘Mother Earth’ that is! That’s right folks, tomorrow is Earth day! After this week in the world I’m not so sure of how proud I am to call myself a citizen of this spinning rock, but when we’re only left with room to improve as a species we must press on and try to [...]

Woo-wee! I love me some nut butter!! So when I saw that Artisana started selling single serving packets of the stuff (in various flavors even!) I knew what my next few snacks were going to entail. Now, I’m not talking about the regular Artisana line–that’s just plain ole goodness. Artisana’s been serving up the good [...]

First things first, I was introduced to this awesome new website this week and want to share it! http://pressedjuicedirectory.com/ For all of you juice drinkers out there, now you can just check this site and see where you can pick up local, organic, cold pressed juices in your city. Pretty cool. Anyways, it’s allergy season [...]
READ MORE »About a year ago when I first learned that Trader Joe’s had started carrying a vegan shredded cheese, I gotta say, I wasn’t all that excited. (I can hear the collective gasp from all of Portland now…) During my early days of veganism (think 05′-06′) I had tried so many faux (processed) foods, and [...]

As a certified nutritionist (and 8 yr. vegan) it's no sursprise that I'm a huge food nerd. For the last 13 yrs I've been living in the greatest vegan-friendly city in the pacific northwest, and share my kitchen with my extremely handsome (and very picky) omni husband and our super special puggle, Mr. Pants. When I'm not studying I'm camped out in my kitchen making healthful vegan, gluten-free foods.
