…I’ll be at a NYE party that is klassy and doesn’t involve plastic red cups. …this will be enough EtOH for a group of 20.

It’s no wonder people are scared of their significant other’s parents; with movies like Meet the Parents, in-laws get a pretty bad rap. Fortunately for me, this stereotype couldn’t be further from the truth. I just got back from a weekend+ getaway with Kyle’s family and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be joining his family than if they were the sole heirs to the Whole Foods chain. Not only are they amazingly accepting of my vegan lifestyle, but they go above and beyond to accommodate it, to the point of straight up spoiling me!… Read more >

I’m not sure if cornbread is a traditional Thanksgiving dish per se…but you always see lots of corn in those cornucopia things, so the pilgrims must have had access to fresh cornmeal, right?

To be honest, I do get cravings for non-vegan items every once in a while, and since they are usually fairly random, I’m forced to either (a) get over it, or (b) figure out how to make it vegan myself. In honor of my Thanksgiving alone, I decided it was… Read more >

Mine was fabulous. Kyle may or may not kill me for posting that picture. But it’s worth it. I had to show you all how adorbz my beau is! Getting serenaded while eating an apple/cinnamon dessert on the late night – is there a better way to spend your Friday night? I think not. But back to the AM. Breakfast of champions indeed. I really tested my stomach’s expansion ability with this one. First of all that coffee mug was the size of my head (and I had 2 of ‘em filled to the brim),… Read more >
