Veganism: have you heard of it? Of course you have. The eating style that is committed to not eating anything produced from animals (including eggs, cheese, and even honey) is very mainstream.

Happy Holidays! How are you doing? Excuse my cheer and overuse of exclamation marks (!) , but Christmas is my favorite time of year. Even though Christmas this year is coming at the end of a very long and scary and tiring year, I have to say that my heart is still a bit joyous…
WAP Juice
Whew! I made it through the five day juice challenge! Since our world is still in a pandemic, I will celebrate by simply giving MYSELF a pat on the back. The last juice of the week required me to scale down the ingredients a bit and create another simple, 4-ingredient blend. Apple + celery +…
Wind Down for the Night Juice
Today was another DAY! And I don’t mean those all caps in a nice way. Is there a way to hurl cuss words at all of a Thursday? If so, I’d like to know how to insult this entire day. But, on the bright side, I think that I found help for my tech issues….

Basic Ass Mashed Potatoes
Do I even need to introduce our next guest to the basic ass recipe party? It’s mashed potatoes! I feel like if you have been alive for longer than 35 seconds, you are familiar with mashed potatoes. So, what new spin can I put on mashed potatoes? Actually, not a damn thing. There’s no spin…

The worst part about writing a recipe about broccoli is that I have to remember how to spell the word broccoli. Have you ever spelled the word “broccoli” without assistance?
