Happy Monday! More specifically, happy Meatless Monday! (At least for another hour and fifty-three minutes). Can I let you in on a little secret? We've not just gone meatless Mondays anymore, but meatless Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays as well. Yep. We've gone vegan. I can't say for certain this very moment if this will be a lifelong lifestyle, because I have a feeling that somewhere down the road I'm going to have a hankering for Anthony's ... continue reading...

My life is filled with numbers. I wake in the morning and walk to the kitchen, where I tackle those glasses of water. Three now, two before lunch, four more between lunch and dinner. That will make ninety ounces. Midway through that first glass, I remember how much I don’t like the taste of water in the morning. Strap on the pedometer. The goal is 10,000 steps by sundown. Toward that end, if the weather permits, I will find a space in this day’s madness to trot down the front porch ... continue reading...
Spicy Vegan Slaw
It's Meatless Monday!!! And today, we have my new favorite side dish: Spicy Vegan Slaw. Now, don't get your knickers in a twist over that middle word in the title. It's just five little letters. Try it out: say "vegan." Say it slowly. See? You lived! There was a time when I wrinkled my nose at those letters too. And sort of grimaced. But then there was the time about a week and a half ago when I heard my friend, Lynette, say the word, and heard it in the same sentence with, "My vegan diet ... continue reading...
Perhaps the Moistest Chocolate Cake Ever
Seeing as how I'm going to be throwing a lotta lotta healthy recipes at you in the coming weeks (and hopefully, forever after that ... fingers crossed!), I figured I'd better get this moist, decadent chocolate-ness out of the way right now. This is an old southern recipe that I got from who knows where. I've been making it since before my son was born, and he's 23 (if that helps). Do your best not to scoff at the two secret ingredients, because if you scoff, and then you go ahead and make it ... continue reading...
Beautiful Day (Part 5)
It's hard to beat the beauty of Seattle Center's south fountain lawn during Winterfest, especially at night. Thousands upon thousands of white lights encrust the trees surrounding the expanse of grass, making you feel you've stepped inside a wedding, or coronation, or Camelot. The grown-up me kept walking, but the girl inside stayed behind. She ran to the center of the circle, spread her arms wide, and spun herself dizzy before dropping to the grass below. I think she's still there on that ... continue reading...
Manhattan Veggie Sammy w/Chipotle Pepper Spread
It's Meatless Monday, everyone! Well, it is in this house, anyway. :) Not sure if I'll post meatless recipes EVERY Monday, but I'm going to do my best. I've been pretty infatuated with vegetarian food lately, especially if you throw some crab or shrimp in there. :D Seriously, I've been craving vegetables for the past month, and have chosen vegetarian options over meat options more than I ever remember doing. Take, for instance, what happened when we walked into a deli in Manhattan during my ... continue reading...
