Vegan cultured coconut milk dressing recipe
Tonight for dinner I made salad and it was all my husband’s idea. Yes my meat loving husband wanted salad for dinner, my eyes light up when I heard this. We are going skiing in a few weeks so he has been exercising and eating lighter dinners to gear up for it. Needless to say…
Typical Wednesday night dinner
I thought I’d share what a typical dinner looks like at my house. Most of you know that my Husband and son eat an omni diet and I don’t. At mealtime our table typically has a lot of different foods on it. Here is what our dinner looked like tonight. Ignore the Legos in the…
Thanksgiving recap
Hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving. Ours was very good, but I was glad to spend a quiet day at home today without any company. It always takes so long to clean up after a meal like that. My menu was slightly different then I originally planned. I ran out of time so I…
Planning a vegan-ish Thanksgiving

Please don't pick on my diet

Heirloom apples and a quick vegan dinner
I have been feasting on heirloom apples lately. Check out these beauties. The gold ones are Spitzenburg and the red ones are Black Oxford. When my son saw them he asked me if they were real. They look a little bit unusual when you compare them to a red delicious or a granny smith. They…
