Eating From Scratch: Vegan Journey
"Reinventing Indulgence" One meal at a time!
I’m a sucker for a free ebook, especially of the recipe variety! I think these email offers with a dozen online bonus gifts are the new infomercial. They get me every time – drawing me in to the point where I forget what I am buying. When the real purchase finally came in the mail, What Do Raw Fooders Eat, I admitted to myself that I better […]

I really should blog my vegan travels more often. Last year for my birthday I was in Amsterdam and Berlin. I will say that although I didn’t blog it because I was probably too busy eating, that dining in Berlin completely exceeded my expectations.

Vegan Apple Pie I made this on Sunday and writing about it now. It’s been a crazy few days due to Hurricane Sandy. The news shows are here to help us but it’s really easy to get caught up in it and become overwhelmed. I made this pie on Sunday afternoon.. my anxiety was sky high. Some how, some way.. […]

Why didn’t I make chocolate covered pineapple like you would see at a street fair… or at a chocolate party with dripping fountains of chocolate and endless fruit. Have you ever been to one of those parties? I have once and only once but oh if I could go again I would be in heaven- well only if it was […]

This is the closest thing I have seen yet to VEGAN MAGIC! This is a recipe that I learned firsthand in the LIVING AND RAW FOOD INTENSIVE at the Natural Gourmet Institute in NYC. I love desserts and I love chocolate. When our chef, Celine Beitchman, said this was made with avocados- I was completely puzzled. After we made it […]

Of course, I am one of those people who celebrate my birthday all week… and why not? Oh.. I know– when all is said and done, I will really have to go on a FULL SUGAR DETOX and I am so not kidding. I ordered my cupcakes from VEGAN TREATS along with my birthday cake and had to pick them […]
