I’ve been caught dreaming of warm days (which is so not me) and vibrant margaritas (which is the new me) since my trip to Austin, TX with Vida Vegan HQ last month. Give me a patio, a salted rim, dark sunglasses, chips and endless salsa, and you have the highlight of a summer day. It’s … Continue reading »

Margaritas 4-eva & Goodies from Austin, Texas

I’m sure I’m not the first to have this epiphany, but I really think I get tacos now. And margaritas. As in….I could see the warmer weather beckoning both of these things vs. cold beers and tator tots. I seem to have lost a little bit of my inner-Portland this week on my trip to … Continue reading »

New Year, New Projects: Homemade Sriracha

Happy theme change Monday! I actually made this cocktail in advance before my departure to New York, but as imagined, life is moving quickly, and since it’s hiatus, I can pretend weekdays don’t exist. What’s a girl to do when the thought of enjoying a spicy Bloody Mary for breakfast, even one made from heirloom tomatoes, … Continue reading »

It takes a lot for a cookbook to truly hold my attention, and the stories and recipes, in addition to the soundtrack, of Bryant Terry’s Vegan Soul Kitchen did just that. This past January, his latest, The Inspired Vegan was released, and I’ve been captivated.  The words, the quotes, the instructions and meal components, were just … Continue reading »

Spicy Thai Basil Noodles with Soft Tofu, Peanuts & Garlic Scapes

Posted on by • 6 Comments

It’s time for my warm weather motto: I may hate the heat, but I heart farmers markets. I also heart venturing into other neighborhoods and secretly pretending that I live in them. The day will come that I move out of my dear Division St. apartment. That day could bring me further-out southeast into a … Continue reading »
