My husband has had me fooled for YEARS, but now he let his secret slip and I don’t know whether to be impressed and proud or pissed off. I’ll let you decide. Dan and I have dated for a bit over 7 years, with 5 1/2 of those years living together. During that time he [...]

I will start off from the beginning letting you know that neither of these are vegan meals. In fact, these aren’t my breakfasts, they are Dan’s. Dan might not be great at cooking dinner, but he is a master breakfast maker! We used to have pancake contest of who could make the best looking and [...]
OMG, I am so excited for all the stuff going on right now! Dan and I are literally busting our butts (in a good way) to bring some great stuff to the table… And while these will look awesome on your table: That’s not quite what I meant. For my Birthday you might recall that [...]
I have been excited about today for 2 weeks! That’s because our local Charleston farmer’s market is officially in full swing! I woke up laughing because it’s seems so funny that now as I’ve gotten older, I get far too excited for farmer’s market produce. It seems like just yesterday Saturdays were all about sleeping [...]
Hi, my name is Taylor and I am addicted to sunflower butter. [insert: "Hi Taylor!] Wow, I feel so much better now that I got that off my chest. Seriously, since I have become vegan and given up peanut butter for Lent I have become far to dependent on sunflower butter, so I decided to [...]
I have decided to step up with my meals. I make a homemade meal 99% of the week, most of which take less than 30 minutes to toss together for me and Dan. For breakfast, I spend all of 5 minutes preparing my warm meal but it gets done. I don’t tell you that to [...]
For Christmas I received this handy gadget: I have been wanting this thing for years… so I was super stoked when I opened it up! Okay, so I am not the biggest pasta eater in the world, so why would I want this? Well, I am not the biggest pasta eater because I don’t [...]
Friday nights are often date nights for Dan and I. Even if we don’t go out I try to make a romantic candlelight dinner and make it special in some way. We have been so busy the past few weeks that neither of us really wanted to go out for date night so I set [...]
Last weekend was the end of my 4-week “adventure” with being vegan. I know you’re just giddy in your chair waiting to find out what’s become of me… right? Ok, maybe not giddy but perhaps curious. So, I was all excited to cook up some chicken and just go to town, but then when it [...]
I’ve been eating vegetarian now for three days and I am actually enjoying it! So far it’s allowed me to test out foods I normally wouldn’t make. I enjoyed grilled mushrooms last night I love but never make (Dan doesn’t like them) and then tonight I made myself a black bean burger… OMG so good! [...]
If I was given a golden card to be able to eat whatever diet I wanted and not have to worry about any negative side affects from my body (no weight gain, cholesterol issues, risk of diabetes, heart disease, etc, etc) what would my diet look like? To be honest a lot of it would [...]
I spent three hours in my kitchen yesterday baking! A client had given me a recipe for black bean chocolate and peanut butter vegan cupcakes (say that 10 times fast) and I wanted to experiment. If you’ve ever read any of my recipes before, then you know that following a recipe is really hard for [...]
I know it sounds completely crazy… to think that grilling meatballs (in maranera sauce no less) is possible on the grill! Dan questioned me as he watched me line a mixing bowl with a huge sheet of aluminum foil and then plop meatballs in it and THEN our sauce over it. I have to tell [...]
I understand that it can be intimidating to “eat clean”… is it going to be impossible to do? Will you feel deprived? No, in fact eating clean is easy and there are plenty of ways to still enjoy your indulgence foods. As diets begin to fail, and you might lose your motivation make it a [...]
Dan and I watch this show pretty often actually, and I am not really sure why. 9 out of 10 times it grosses me out and has me wanting to avoid looking at food. But I always come back for more. We were watching this particular episode just the other day and I couldn’t help [...]
