Thanks for stopping by...

I love sharing recipes, thoughts, sewing projects, and notes about the chaos of living a life full of laughter. You will find lots of recipes, mostly vegan. And a little bit of philosophy, I can't help myself, I am a philosophy teacher at heart. Basically, my blog is just about as chaotic as my life, and I like it that way!

VEGAN CRAB QUINOA SALAD

Mushrooms are a wonderful way to add texture to a vegan dish. Recently, I have been experimenting with the many different varieties of mushrooms. Sure, we all know about Shitake, Button, and Cremini mushrooms, maybe you have even used Oyster mushrooms once upon a time, but there are still many more varieties to discover.

VEGAN CHAI TEA

I love tea...I prefer loose leaf and if I find a tea shop in our travels, I spend lots of time sniffing all of the blends. I use an electric teakettle with temperature settings, I really try to make tea the right way! My favorite tea stores are both in NY, Physical Graffitea in NYC and Saratoga Tea and Honey in Saratoga Springs, NY. Both stores are so fun and warmly inviting, I wrote about Physical Graffitea a few years ago in my blog, check out the post here.
