Just in time for Saint Paddy’s Day, our REAL Corn-No-Beef-Sweet-Potato-Hash.

As I write this blog my head is reeling with my long list of things to do. We are planning for our April 22 fundraiser and working on securing sponsors and underwriters. That tax date of April 15 is fast approaching as I think about what I need to do well before that date, for…
Breakfast: The day began with a treat! One hamentaschen cookie. Why not? It’s like a breakfast pastry and the modification I made to the recipe gave the dough a bread-like texture. I had it with Genmaicha Green Tea and an orange. It went well with the book I was finishing for my interview later in…
Breakfast: This was a simple breakfast and get-to-work-as-fast-as-you-can kind of day. We had vanilla tea and hot oatmeal with apples and dried apricots that I topped with nothing-but-the-flax, 2 Tablespoons ground flax. Got to keep those omega-3’s up. And speaking of nutrients, here’s what vitamins I take at breakfast: Vitamin D3, the vegan version and…

One of my favorite brunch menus includes omelettes, egg-free of course! The not-too-secret secret to delicious egg-free omelettes is garbanzo bean flour or garfava (chick pea and fava bean mix) flour. I love adding different seasonings to the flour and creating something new each time. This cabbage and onion omelette go great with boiled potatoes.…
I love tea. Lately I have been enjoying some of the lighter green and white tea varieties. We order mostly from Arbor Teas in bulk, organic, fair trade, loose leaf teas, which are proudly stored in tins in our tea drawer. We were out of black tea for a short time and when our…
