Hello friends! It’s certainly been a while. I like to think that 2020 has been messed up enough that I don’t have to have excuses, but any of you that have stuck with me through this hiatus deserve an explanation. It all started when I got a new job at the end of August. I’ve…
Greetings one and all! I am so incredibly thrilled to begin this post by saying “Happy end of August! We are now in the final third of 2020!” It has been rough. Realistically, a lot of what has been tough about this year isn’t the kind of thing that will just disappear, so remember to…
When you learn you have to eliminate something from your diet, one of the first things you think about is how to replace it. How do you get the nutritional value you’ll be missing? Are there ways to replace it when cooking and baking? Today I want to talk about the second question. If you…
Hello, friends! Are your heads still spinning from all the science last week? I know mine is… there was so much to process. Rest assured, I return to you this week with a much simpler discussion. So let’s go ahead and get started. Real quick though, I do need to remind you that I’m not…
While I was researching potential topics for this week’s post, I remembered my delightful introductory experience with aquafaba. It’s such a fun word to say and even more fun to use in the kitchen.

Hello my friends! I’m back at it again this week with some crazy simple vegan pasta. A while ago, I posted a recipe for flaxseed pasta and it seemed to go over alright with you all. I did receive some feedback that I found particularly interesting – some moms reported that the appearance of the…
Dear readers, I have an exciting recipe for you today! But before I get to that specifically, some backstory is required. A few weeks ago, I was at the North Market (as I so often am). At the Farmer’s Market, I came across the most magically tasty product – a coffee spread called Café Butter.…
Hello friends! It’s so good to be back writing to you. We’ve not been communicating too much since quarantine 2020 started. Truthfully, I’m pretty overwhelmed by the anxieties and stresses both in my life and out in the world. Between being furloughed, traveling to Philadelphia and Chicago for a new job, and now being back…
I know I’m not alone when I say the last weeks have been tough. Life in the state of Ohio is constantly in flux with new safety regulations. Luckily, I’m still in a position where my workplace is creating opportunities for me to come in and make money. Other businesses don’t have that luxury. With…
