Glad everyone liked the looks of my curried carrot and red grape slaw!!! This week, temperatures plummeted for the first time since I’ve lived in DC. In a span of only a few hours, it seemed, we’d gone from swampy heat to the distinctive chill of autumn. Fall is my favorite season, and so I [...]

Hemp Pesto Recipe

July 28, 2011

Happy Thursday! As of today, I have exactly two weeks of my crazy summer Chem II class remaining.

Happy Tuesday, guys. Hope it wasn’t too hard getting back into the grind. I felt quasi-paralyzed this morning with back-to-work malaise, but now I’m up and running as usual. Miss any recaps of my San Fran trip? Fear not! You can find my recap of lunch at VegNews HQ here., my review of Cafe Gratitude [...]

Sea “Spaghetti” with Creamy Cashew Dill Sauce

July 10, 2010

Thank you to everyone who commented on Thursday night’s emotional eating post. It was one of my all time favorite conversations here on the blog, and I hope we’ll find ways to deepen and expand it soon.
