Posted in dinner, Italian food, main dish, parenting, Recipes, Sauces, Uncategorized, vegan on July 19, 2011 | 7 Comments »

Last weekend, Calla helped me make dinner. She was helpful and engaged. She stirred the sauce, poured and mixed ingredients and pressed up right.next.to.me. while I chopped and diced. I did my best to breathe deeply, let her have fun and not micro manage her when she sploshed sauce over the side of the sauce [...]

Last Thursday, Calla suggested we eat snacks for dinner. Her menu included soy yogurt, ice cream, spring rolls and Popsicles. Lennon requested Costco-style “samples” and dim sum.

Mushy millet and warm mayonaise

Posted in sweet potatoes, Travel, vegan, West African on February 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

When I graduated from college I was antsy to travel. Young, liberal, and idealistic, I was ready to leave the United States for a dose of worldly reality. I had no real understanding of life outside of my comfy home and it was time for me to gain some perspective. So Scott and I left [...]

The many faces of toast and other quick vegan breakfasts

Note: This will be my last breakfast post for a while.Toast is my morning savior. Especially at 6:30 a.m. when I have two starving children clamoring to be fed and I can hardly think let alone create a meal. Pushing two kids and two adults out of the house before 8:00 a.m. five days a [...]
