A couple weeks back, I told you about our Periodic Table dinner featuring Chef Nadine. Well, when she passed around coupons at the end of the night for her catered vegan meals, it got me thinking: Takeout Tuesday! I love introducing people who don’t always eat vegan to just how...
Wow, I’ve really been off the grid! I’ll blame it on a little bit of travel and a lot of writer’s block. Or maybe the other way around. We got back from an awesome weekend in Atlanta last night, and tomorrow I head to South Dakota. Maybe I’ll just leave...
Summer is coming to an end, as all good things must. As tough as it is to admit when good things are coming to an end, that’s life. Better to come to terms with it now when I can still squeeze a few more BBQs out of the back yard,...

I have been on a total tahini kick lately! Seriously, I’ve been putting it in everything. Which you would know already, had my hard drive not died last week. I should be getting my computer back today, and luckily they were able to back up my data. Apparently this took...
