It’s not so much how I feel about eating flour, it’s how my body feels after eating flour products. Is flour the problem? Are whole grains a better option? I was speaking with a couple of friends lately, and each of them was lamenting eating more flour than they usually had during this time. They both felt like it was just “too much.” These unsolicited

Whether you are trying to work through the hidden gems in the back of your freezer or hoping to manage items you recently stocked up on–it’s helpful to have a clean and well-organized freezer.

To Meat or Not to Meat: That is the Vegan Plant-Based Burger Question?
I have been vegan for more than fifteen years. And for twice as long I have been a Registered Dietitian, chef instructor and culinary educator. Years ago, I didn’t have to think much about “fake meat” because it didn’t really exist. But these days, it feels like I get a piece of daily news about what new non-meat is on the market or what will
What’s New on the Food Scene: Fancy Food Show Update and more
It’s January and I just got back from SOMA mushroom camp where grounded is the word…and I went directly to the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco where innovation is key. Does anyone want or need Oreo, Butterfinger or Chips Ahoy popcorn? I am not kidding, I actually saw these. Do we need another chip or puff? Not likely. Consumerism Trends at the Fancy Food
Freezer Hacks to Reduce Kitchen Waste
As someone who travels frequently, it is often difficult to buy the “just right” amount of food so that it doesn’t go bad before I leave town but also that I still have enough fresh food to eat.

I just cooked 2 sweet potatoes in the new Max Instant Pot. I found it very easy to use because it is touch control.

From June 23rd to July 4th, I will be in Europe on a vegan plant-based cruise from Rome to Venice and ports of call around the Mediterranean.

Women Get on Board to Get Outdoor Clothing that Fits @fiberherapparel
I am slight and petite however generally taller than most petite sizes. Yet I am still considered “short”. I was given the tank top in the photo because the yoga studio who had it said that I was likely one of the only people who could fit into it. Bottoms need to fit me, too, and they don’t always because I feel like I am
Philadelphia: The City of Sisterly Vegan Love plus Mother Earth News Fair in MD
Oh my…what a trip I had to the East Coast in early June. Here was the start at SFO. And it only got better from there. I flew to Baltimore and drove about an hour to Frederick, Maryland. My sister met me there where I did two cooking demonstrations at The Mother Earth News Fair in Frederick, Maryland. I met a few friends and fans,
