Vida Vegan Bloggers Conference is over but just attending and mingling with these amazing vegans inspired me to start writing again. I didn’t get to meet all of the bloggers ...

Pumpkin Bread by way of Hell Yeah It’s Vegan
Once a week I try to cook something from the list of ...
Stuffed Cabbage with Mashed Cauli and Sweet Spuds
When I was young I was served pre-packaged stuffed cabbage rolls. They ...
Chili…But Not Completely Traditional Chili
Before anyone starts posting comments telling me why my chili isn’t true chili I will admit up front that yes my chili has beans, and yes (true chili connoisseur avert your eyes) I include elbow macaroni. However, this is my favorite “welcome fall” dish. And it is appropriate for today because the rains are back […]
Spicy Orange Tofu
I really wanted to finish MoFo without missing a day but I ran into some craziness the past couple of days and I just couldn’t find the time to post or even to read my favorite blogs. Sometimes I wonder about how fast life just flies by. I wonder to myself if I should stop […]
Ode to the Artichoke
I had one of those Mondays that make me feel like I should be singing “Rainy Days and Mondays”. A great song by the way. Nothing is really wrong (so goes the song and my day) but I’m just feeling off. My solution is to make my idea of the ultimate comfort food dinner: Breaded […]
Ethiopian Feast
One of the great things about MoFo is that it gives me an excuse to eat more exotic dishes than I would normally. Tonight I made an Ethiopian feast. I even made homemade injera (it is a 3 day process), a great greens dish from one of my favorite cookbooks Appetite for Reduction, and finally […]
Cookbook Giveaway and Edamame Soup
I love cookbooks. I love to read them from cover to cover with a stack of Post-its next to me so I can tag everything I want to make someday. Post-its are great for cookbooks. When I plan my meals for the week I just move the Post-it from the top of the cookbook to […]
Old Friends and Spring Rolls
Happy Friday blogging world! Why am I in such a good mood? Well, as previously stated it is FRIDAY and I was able to get out of the office early. However, the big thing is that I am meeting a friend for drinks later that I haven’t seen in ages. It felt surreal but this […]
Bears and Hugs but no Bear Hugs
I need a hug. It has been an emotional day. My first mistake was starting my day checking one of the news web sites to read comments on the debate last night but ran across an article about the tragic death of some innocent bears instead. I love bears. Do you know the story of […]
Spinach-Walnut Pesto and Pignolia Cheese-Stuffed Mushrooms (MoFo Day 3)
Let me say up front that if this post is not as coherent as it should be I apologize. I cannot begin to express how tired I am. I work for a global company and one of the development teams I work with is dispersed between India, the UK, and for this particular project the […]
Sunshine Pie (MoFo Day 2)
Yes, sunshine pie is more of a spring brunch kind of meal but it feels like spring in Oregon. Today is sunny, 70 degrees and a light breeze is blowing. For October this is amazing. Last year for MoFo I spent most of my time searching the MoFo sites for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner ideas. […]
Spaghetti Squash and Tomatoes (MoFo Day 1)
MOFO is here and I am so excited I just got home from a 4 day mini-vacation with my extended family. My niece announced her engagement and we all made a road trip to Seattle to celebrate. She is such a sweetie. She isn’t in any way vegan but she is going to sample vegan […]
