Starting on Thursday, my husband and I will be doing a month of the Whole 30 diet. It's basically just eating really clean, whole foods for 30 days. There is a lot to it, some science, a lot of positive reviews, but really we're trying it as an elimination diet to see if anything specific … Continue reading Whole30 Trial

Weekend Update: Birthday Edition
Saturday was my birthday and yesterday was my government birthday*. The celebrations started on Thursday with a trip to Vegan Treats in Bethlehem, about 2 hours away.

Weekly Workouts + Weekend Update
This past week started off pretty average, workout wise. I tried one of the new workouts that I pinned (Burn 100 calories in 10 minutes: Do this total body workout at home!) and was very underwhelmed. It was a decently tough workout, and I pushed hard, and only burned about 48 calories as per my … Continue reading Weekly Workouts + Weekend Update

Bethlehem VegFest 2014
It's been a week since this year's Bethlehem VegFest and I'm already excited about next year. Just like last year, being in a place where you know everything is vegan and nothing is off limits is an amazing feeling. There was no walking around looking for a place that sold only salads or veggies, or possibly a … Continue reading Bethlehem VegFest 2014
Recipe: Raw Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting
These cupcakes are incredibly chewy and moist. They taste like a traditional brownie, but there's no sugar or flour, and they're completely raw. The icing is just as rich and delicious, and it only contains cashews and agave (or date paste).

Easy Summer Dessert: {vegan} Fruit Tart
This dessert is a deceptively simple crowd pleaser. It's light and refreshing with minimal processed sugar. It's also beautiful, and almost impossible to screw up. I've brought this to two family gatherings so far, and it's been a huge hit. No one ever suspects that it's vegan! A few notes, be sure to cut up the fruit … Continue reading Easy Summer Dessert: {vegan} Fruit Tart
Recipe: Incredibly Easy Homemade Cannoli
When I was growing up, every Saturday after dance class we'd pick up a pizza for dinner from an Italian restaurant near my house. Every once in a while we'd get cannolis because they had *the* best homemade cannolis. I'm super snobby about cannolis (and tirimisu) and I promise these will not disappoint. I was … Continue reading Recipe: Incredibly Easy Homemade Cannoli
Weekend Update – Home Depot, HomeGoods, and Lots of Food!
I had such an amazing weekend! It was full of baking, yoga, and window shopping. I pretty much do yoga every day anyway, but in May, my goal is to practice every single day and post a photo as proof. So far I have these: Legs up the wall, dancer, crow, and mermaid. To get … Continue reading Weekend Update – Home Depot, HomeGoods, and Lots of Food!
