Coconut Rose Exfoliating Scrub

So I might have blamed my lack of recipe posts on yoga, work, the holidays and our move-and that’s MOSTLY true. Part of my lacking in kitchen creativity can be blamed on my ever increasing obsession with crafting. Damn you, Pinterest. I’ve been flocking to craft stores and spending more of my paycheck at AC […]

2012 Recap

I have to admit, 2012 was a fabulous year. Going vegan was a monumental decision, and even though it isn’t always easy to resist some of my old faves like pizza and nachos, I’ve found that absolutely every non-vegan food has an equally delicious plant-based version.

Between our move, Thanksgiving, my birthday AND Christmas I had many opportunities to cook, but not enough time to get creative and especially not enough hours in the day to […]

Baked Potato Leek Soup

Two weeks is far too long to go without a soup recipe. I think I was having withdrawals. The bisques are back, and this baked potato leek soup is a pretty generic vegan soup that I feel like I’ve seen created on thousands of blogs. But because of  it’s sheer deliciousness and simplicity , it’s easy to see why […]
