Breakfast: Twas the day after Christmas and I made cornbread. We are still feeling lousy with our colds but I thought I could manage making Corn Bread. It’s an easy recipe. I served it with the Tempeh Bacon Gary had made and yesterday’s Berry Banana Compote. Trying to recover and catch up on our…
Breakfast: It’s Christmas Day and although I am still feeling sick, I feel so much better than the day before. I am filled with joy to not have pain and a sick stomach. Hurray! Even though Gary and I are still under the weather I wanted to make something festive for Christmas Day breakfast. We…
Twas the day before Christmas and all through the apartment two humans were still sick and it was the worst day thus far for both of them. Or it sure felt like it. I did not sleep well. I had no energy. I had a sinus headache and a sour feeling in my stomach. I…
Breakfast: I feel like I am on the mend. I had a burst of energy and put it into making the morning’s oatmeal. Gary was not feeling as well. For that reason I cooked the oatmeal with nothing in it, just oats and water. We could each add to it what we wanted. When you…

We love taking old favorite recipes and making them vegan. One recipe that Gary’s been wanting to recreate, vegan-style, is the Italian classic Osso Buco (translated from Italian literally means “bone hole”) like the dish he loved so much at Harry’s Bar in Venice. Here is the recipe, salty and chewy, right down to the…
I’m not a religious person, however, I am spiritual. And now that I’m a vegan the holidays have taken on an even deeper spiritual meaning for me, especially when it comes to food. I no longer see the meat-centered dishes of my pre-vegan holidays as a way of celebrating the true spirit of Christmas. Now…
