It’s been nearly a month since Eric and I radically shifted our diets and starting juicing heavily. About six weeks ago, my dad watched the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and got inspired to do a juice fast to heal himself. Eric and I watched the film also and thought it would be cool to […]

Pride Pops (aka Rainbow Fruit Popsicles)
It’s been hot hot hot here in Seattle — not nearly as hot as other parts of the country, but still quite toasty. Record high temps across all of the western US. I wouldn’t want to be in Death Valley right now, that’s for sure. This past weekend was Pride and what better way to celebrate […]
Vida Vegan Con 2013 Highlights
I’m finally getting around to recapping the highlights of my Vida Vegan Con experience. VVC is a vegan bloggers conference in Portland, OR. Portland is really the perfect location for it because of its vegan mecca status and because it’s generally just such a wonderful, walkable city. I had a great time — balanced between […]
Cinnamon Rolls (Vegan and Gluten Free)
First things first — I joined Instagram, and have to say (somewhat embarrassingly) that I’m loving seeing other people’s pictures and sharing some of my own. I’d love it if you wanted to follow me on Instagram! And Facebook, too! ANYWAY, the other day, I saw a post by The Gay Vegans about their […]
May Blooms
Our garden is a little haven of joy and beauty and pollination right now. I posted a week or two ago pictures of the current garden blooms. This week, we’ve got a whole new array of blooms to celebrate. That orange beauty (above) is a somewhat unusual type of butterfly bush. We planted 3 different types […]
Life in the Garden (in Pictures)
A pair of robins built a nest in our backyard this spring and we have been watching as a baby has hatched and grown up in the nest (no pictures because I didn’t want to get too close). The parents fly out and bring back food for the baby and we’ve been able to see, […]
News Recap
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks of travel, recuperation, school work, etc. Having just returned from L.A. for the annual Association of American Geographers meeting, I thought I’d just recap a number of news items. AG-GAG LAWS The most relevant for animal advocates is the increasingly public flurry of debate about ag-gag laws. Will […]
Health Trouble-Shooting and Veganism
I heard Melanie Joy (author of Why we love dogs, eat pigs and wear cows) speak a couple of times at the national Animal Rights conference last summer in Alexandria, VA. During one of her talks she asked for hands of those in the audience who had ever pretended not to be sick or downplayed their […]
Welcoming Spring!
Happy first day of spring (yesterday)! In Seattle, spring has officially sprung. Daffodils are bright and beautiful, the cherry trees are pink and white and breathtaking, and the daphne makes the air smell sweet and flowery. The weather has been a little all over the place — sunny one moment, raining the next — and really […]
Grain Bowl How-To
Good morning! We’re coming off of three glorious days of spring sunny weather here in Seattle and when I woke up this morning, the clouds and grey were back like a cozy blanket. I don’t mind the clouds and drizzle, in fact I love it a lot of the time, but this morning it makes […]
