Sometimes a Spoonful of Chai Spice…

Sometimes a spoonful of Chai Spice makes the gross shake go down… the gross shake go down… gross shake go down! The problem with a Picky Eater is that you can not fool, coerce or guilt them into swallowing something they aren’t enjoying. The gag reflex is real. And we are not afraid to spit something out regardless of the company. The other problem is the inevitability of throwing money down the…

The Root of The Matter

BEST Vegan Bologna… and you’d never know!

Do you think going plant based means missing out on your favorite subs? Sandwiches? Hoagies? Not true…promise! The plant based market is always growing! Pun intended! For real, though, it is a whole new world of eating if you’re just now getting into plant based. When I first started “going plant based” there was no such thing. I was just a pain in the ass eater with unreasonable smell, taste,…

When in Doubt…Let Plants Help You Out!

I am very rarely ever “sick.” Once in a blue moon I can catch a common cold but I detect it quick and go straight to herbal resources to fortify my immune system. I opt to not run for a pharmaceutical remedy, fearing side affects of chemicals. Actual chemicals…(not food or pills sourced from food) are what constitute those over the counter, quick fixes. And it never ceases to amazing me how many…

Ever Make A Wrong Turn???

I did. Recently. Very Recently. I took a job that looked good on paper. Yet another job that I should have been happy with landing. And this one literally fell out of the sky. Ok, not literally. I guess…”came out of left field” would be more accurate. A company I never thought I would hear from again but I did. I worked there around six years ago for about six months. It ended abruptly when a…

Ok…learning curve ahead – new video updated

New Video on New Youtube Channel

Camera Lesson No. 1

Ok..so I am fine with sharing my words. But, despite the fact that I had been a professional stand up comedian for over a decade and performed in rooms of several hundreds of humans…. I have yet to put together a youtube channel or a podcast that I had been promising. That is…until now! I am 50 and don’t really know what I am doing in the ethers of this internet nor on social media, but I am at…

I found an expiration date on the box when I was creating a post for this dark chocolate… I thought it could be a joke.

Curry in a Hurry!

Scrolling through social media, especially on the plant based sites…if there is one curry post, there’s a thousand. Well, I have an awesome curry sauce recipe that just couldn’t be any easier! I love when I find some cooking hacks to make the meal prep that much faster! There are only a few basic ingredients. Curry powder. Cilantro. Ginger Powder. Garlic Powder. 1 Can of Coconut Milk. 1/2 Jar of…

Seitan…Best Tasting Wheat Gluten I Have Ever Not Liked…

Ok. I am not a fan of wheat gluten for both taste and textural reasons but I gave it another try. And…I’m still not a fan. But, to be fair, this was the best tasting wheat gluten I have ever not liked. Here’s the #gamechanger though, the once carnivorous boyfriend LOVED Franklin Farms Vegan Seitan Cubes! Moral of the story… taste buds, much like art, is subjective. If you like wheat gluten……

Easy, Breezy, Beautiful… Kale Chips

Google Kale and you’ll find out that Kale is King. At least, according to Healthline.com Kale, a member of the cabbage family, is one of the most nutrient dense plants on earth. One single cup of raw kale provides Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C and Vitamin K. Then talk about the minerals…jeez, it’s a who’s who: Calcium, potassium, copper, magnesium and manganese…not to be confused with…

UPDATED: I am in the 21st Century…finally.

Needs work but I have managed to work through the Windows 97 regressive inertia I have held onto. I feared giving into the future…giving into social media. It was simply fear of the unknown and perhaps of also having a little vegan egg on my face at the beginning. Yet, I pushed through and made a video. Imperfect though it may be, it is the start of something I am finding truly enjoyable. I did…
