The Reluctant Vegetarian

the not-so-reluctant vegetarian?

so. it was brought to my attention (in a good way) that i am not sounding so reluctant to be a vegetarian right now. and while that may be the case, at least in writing, it certainly isn’t true all the time. for instance: in the last week, i have eaten chicken 4 times. i [...]

Somebody Likes Me!

yep. that’s right. they like me so much, in fact, that they gave me a blogging award! pretty cool, right. the award is called the arte y pico award. not really sure that means, really. but, i know that it’s pretty cool. a big thank you to hyla over at ECOblog for nominating me. it [...]

Recipe: Pineapple-Cashew-Quinoa Stir-Fry

well. i finally did it. i found an amazingly flavorful recipe from veganomicon. which is kind of ironic. since i was badmouthing it all day yesterday. and we were least excited about this particular recipe. much to our surprise, the pineapple-cashew-quinoa stir-fry was nothing short of ah-some. so awesome in fact, that the hubster decided [...]

Is It Just Me…
