Hello friends! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Mine was good! I relaxed, I went to the new Ft. Worth Food Park and ate at three (yes three!) different food trucks in one lunch. More on that coming soon. Sunday I went to the Thai restaurant down the street that has a monthly vegan buffet. I also cooked a lot. It’s amazing now that I don’t have a boyfriend how …Read More
Recap of Thanksgiving and How I Feel About the Holidays
Hello beautiful people! Thank you for your comments on my western medicine rant and your emails. I was thrilled to receive an email from my friend Betty at PCRM.org who let me know they are working hard to educate medical professionals on nutrition. They also reach out to medical students (future physicians) to show them the glorious affects that diet can have on disease. I'm so happy that organizations like …Read More

I'm thankful for so many things including all …Read More

Since I'm passing through El Paso and met the lovely Lisa from the Vegetarian Society of El Paso at the Chili Cook-off, she helped me set up a book …Read More

She came up with this low-glycemic pie for the holidays that I had the pleasure of trying. It is delicious! It does have a few more steps and ingredients that most sweet potato/pumpkin pie recipes, but if you are looking to have a sweet dessert that isn't going to …Read More
Texas ain’t so bad!
I had a wonderful weekend visiting Houston and Austin. We all know how much I love Austin, but I haven't visited Houston in probably 10 years and I wasn't vegan at the time. Driving to Houston was very lovely. The leaves were changing on the trees and it was a colorful drive. Living in Los Angeles where they really isn't changing seasons, I don't think I remember ever seeing …Read More
