This ‘recipe’ has been around in the raw food community for decades. In the late 80’s/ early 90’s we used to go visit my grandma in Portland and my uncle (on a raw food diet at the time) would make this for us with his big burly Champion juicer. I still think fondly of the […]

West Hollywood Bans Fur
Some interesting news this week. On Tuesday morning, the city council of West Hollywood voted unanimously to ban the sale of fur. This is the first city in the United States to implement such a ban. Apparently, it will go into effect in June 2012 after the city council meets a second time to hammer out […]
Homegrown Smoker BBQ in Portland
Yesterday, I drove down to Portland and back to drop my dad off at my grandmother’s house. My grandmother is 97 and lives with my uncle and a caretaker. On the way to my grandmother’s house, I insisted that we stop for some kind of vegan meal in Portland. I chose the Homegrown Smoker BBQ […]
Week in Review: Reflections on Veganism and Late Summer Fruit
This week in review seemed to be in part about reflecting on veganism–the health impacts for both humans and dogs, the way we negotiate this choice with the people around us, and how this choice may or may not be implemented at all. But this week was also about partaking in the joys of late summer fruit. […]
Maizy: Super-Veg Dog
I’ve struggled ethically, for quite some time, with the choice of what to feed the animals with whom we share a home. I’ve known that many people feed both dogs and cats a vegan diet and the animals are doing great. And now, especially, there are plenty of vegetarian/vegan dog and cat food options out there. But I still […]
Week in Review: Summer Abundance & Animal Love
The week in review. This past week has been partly about the bounty of late-summer harvest, and partly about animal love. Monday September 5th: A post on the glorious Pigs Peace Sanctuary, where 190 rescued pigs reside in a peaceful and happy setting. Tuesday September 6th: I joined Farm Sanctuary’s Walk for Farm Animals and am […]
Kale Salad
This kale salad is one of my favorite foods right now. It’s easy to make, packed with vitamins and nutrients, and totally delicious. Also, it holds up well as left-overs. If I make it for dinner and toss it with the dressing, it’s one of the few salads that can survive (dressed) in a container […]
Home-Cooked Birthday Dinner
I’ve gotten a few email inquiries about what delectable treats I ate for my birthday. On Saturday, we had brunch at cafe flora with all the usual suspects (cinnamon roll, strawberry creme scone, caesar salad and roasted potatoes) and we also tried the vegan version of their reuben, which was quite delicious and unpictured because I […]
Hiking in the Olympics
Yesterday, we set out early, at 6:30am to catch the 7am ferry boat to Bainbridge Island. Taking the ferry, particularly when it’s cloudy and cool and you can smell the Puget Sound always feels like such a Seattle experience to me. Seagulls flying around, everything muted by the cloudy grey and the air is so fresh […]
Bulk Madness
Last weekend, we got the bug to organize our bulk food drawer. We buy a lot of our food from the bulk bins, so it’s important that we can actually access it. The project began with wanting to reorganize the spice cabinet, but we needed to get another shelf for the cabinet in order to […]
