Sometimes I worry that I eat too many carrots. But then I'm like no, that's impossible. And I start worrying about more important things like whether or not Chris Christie's lap band surgery really does mean he's running for President in 2016. I think it does. Bringing it back to carrots real … [continue]
I read the most amazing news today that a public school in Queens, NY is now serving completely vegetarian lunches to kids. I think there’s going to be a giant cultural shift, and this is the start of it. Twenty years from now kids will be asking their parents about the time when humans ate [...]

Mother’s Day is May 12th – one of the only holidays where the receiver is guaranteed to appreciate a handmade gift. Give thoughtful gifts and bring back the handwritten letter with a letterbox! I have no idea what my mom’s been doing for the last 20 years, but it certainly hasn’t involved keeping up with [...]

As a follow-up to the cinnamon and sugar roasted chickpeas I posted a few weeks ago, here’s the chickpea remix I promised: spicy cumin-cayenne. . I’ve probably made it clear enough that I’m a big fan of all things chickpea, but one more reason I love them is because of how versatile they are when [...]

This wine crate bookshelf is one of my favorite projects ever, not only because of how it turned out, but because it was so easy and inexpensive to make. The only real cost was about $20 for wood stain! I’m in the unfortunate demographic of furniture-buyer who scoffs at IKEA, but also can’t really afford [...]

This recipe might be kind of wintery given the nice weather we’re finally getting, but hot chocolate actually reminds me of summer. I used to drink it on cold mornings in Maine, where my family vacationed every year. Every morning in Maine is cold, and the water is always freezing, but the beaches are beautiful [...]

I do not like yoga, hot tea, or green smoothies. This is by no means an exhaustive list of things I don’t like, but these are apparently very vegan-y things in the eye of public opinion, because people are always surprised to learn the extent to which I hate yoga and chamomile. But I made orange [...]

I had no idea what to do with myself when I graduated college in 2009. I had no job, no permanent residence, and absolutely no money. I bounced around various Craigslist apartments on 1-month leases, and my only source of income was an online internship that paid $8 an hour. This somehow lasted for 7 [...]

My first attempt at vegan bagel bites were for my friend’s going-away party, and they were not amazing. Luckily, when anyone over the age of 12 is eating bagel bites, they’re usually not in the mindset to care. But I had a bunch of mini bagels leftover, so I decided to try again with a more [...]

I love chickpeas. All vegans do. It’s our thing. . Normally I eat them in hummus-form, but I’ve been roasting them lately and insist you do the same. . One of my favorites is cinnamon and sugar chickpeas. It sounds like an odd combination, but they’re sweet, crunchy and will remind you of cinnamon-flavored almonds. [...]
