We women get possessed by PMS

Happy Monday! Summertime…and the livin’ is easy…. That’s how I feel when I’m at my summer childhood vacation spot, Cape Cod. I’m leaving for the Cape in a couple of hours. I look forward to this week all year. This break came just in time. Last Saturday, I served as a guest speaker at the Adult Congenital Heart Association Regional...

Happy Friday! I used to love midnight milky way bars. I’m crazy for caramel and nougat. However, once I decided to eat plant-based, I became an avid ingredient-checker and discovered that milk and eggs are hidden in everything, including my beloved milky ways. I was up to the challenge of creating my own. This homemade version is kind to the...

Happy Friday! Shortly after I moved ‘up north’ to Normandy Isle in Miami Beach two years ago, I was introduced to the small but amazing Upper East Side farmers’ market at Legion’s Park run by the Urban Oasis Project. One of the best ways to get to know a place is to visit the local farmer’s market. Vendors are generally...

Happy Friday! I hope you are enjoying the Live Vegan Vibrantly Summit (if you signed up;-). The Day One interviews with Ingrid Newkirk and Dr. Neal Barnard were great. In fact, I will listen to the Dr. Barnard one again and take notes. Such good info. Everything is recorded and available for 72 hours. If you still want to register...

This recipe is so easy. You literally use whatever vegetables you have on hand and it works. It’s the cashew cream broth that ties it all together and makes everything taste creamy. As soon as I got home, I put a cup of organic, raw cashews in spring water to soak. In the words of my favorite vegan food guru...

Happy Friday! So I panicked last week. I threw a pre-Christmas party in Miami before heading up north to the cold and was freaking out about what to make as the guest list grew. Normally, my dinner parties are intimate and pasta with nutty ‘bolognese’ sauce, mushroom with cashew cream soup, fried rice or homemade veggie hot dogs work well...

Happy Friday! Only 10 more days until Christmas and 5 days left of Hanukkah. We are in full winter-mode here in Florida. We’ve had a number of ‘cold’ fronts which keep us chickens (aka me) inside with the heat on. Pathetic I know. This soup was put together without much thought – I just used the ingredients I had on...

Happy Friday! Only 17 shopping days left until Christmas and 4 until Hanukkah. First a reflection on 2017 2017 has been a great year. I’ve met more and more people following their dreams and making positive changes in their lives and the lives of others both human and animal. While much of what is coming out in the news is...

Happy Monday! I forgot to include a super easy mushroom gravy recipe from Isa Chandra Moscowitz’s cookbook The Super Fun Times Vegan Holiday Cookbook in my last post. I went to a pre-Thanksgiving party this past Saturday and made this gravy to go along with my mashed potatoes. I was rushing around to get everything done and made the gravy right...
