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

My Experience With The Chiropractor So Far
I've been going to the chiropractor for 4 weeks now, and have had 8 sessions (not including the initial consultation). So far every appointment has been the same: 10 minutes on the Spinalator, and then a quick adjustment. Thoughts I love the Spinalator machine. It's basically a table with a roller in the middle of … Continue reading My Experience With The Chiropractor So Far
My First Decorated Cake That Looked Like It Was Supposed To
Let me preface this post by saying: I am *the* worst baked good decorator on the planet. I think it's a lot of fun, but I just don't have that skill. I can barely icing a cupcake without it looking it like someone smushed it on the floor. Second disclaimer: This cake is completely egg/dairy … Continue reading My First Decorated Cake That Looked Like It Was Supposed To
My First Batch of Kale Chips That Didn't Suck
The last two times I made kale chips they didn't come out right. I think I used too much olive oil and didn't dehydrate them long enough. I had pretty much given up, but I got a bunch of kale in our CSA box, and decided to give it one more shot. This time I … Continue reading My First Batch of Kale Chips That Didn't Suck
Zucchini Carrot Cake Muffins
This past week we got huge zucchini and carrots in our CSA box. Since I love carrot cake (not to mention I had just bought a lb of carrots), I wanted to make carrot cake muffins and incorporate the zucchini somehow. I usually avoid sugar completely, but I used it here and they were still … Continue reading Zucchini Carrot Cake Muffins
Two Deliciously Refreshing Patriotic Desserts
Happy Independence Day everyone! Here are two desserts I made for the 4th this year. One couldn't be simpler and the other I think I just got lucky. Both desserts are non-dairy and refined sugar free. I added 1 stevia packet to each dessert (one for all 8 pops, and one for the ice cream), … Continue reading Two Deliciously Refreshing Patriotic Desserts
Fried Tofu Skins and Wednesday's Vegan Lunch
I love tofu skin sushi (inarizushi). I had it first in Japan, not really knowing what it was, but it quickly became my favorite. I can never seem to order it at sushi places because usually all they have is just a tofu roll =(, but sometimes they have them at buffets =). Since I'm … Continue reading Fried Tofu Skins and Wednesday's Vegan Lunch

A Week of Vegan Lunches: Monday
I'm very proud of the fact that the groceries in our house are about 90% vegan, organic, non-junk food, etc. I do oblige my dude and buy him lunch meat and cheese that he takes for lunch every day. Processed lunch meat grosses me out because I cannot find one that doesn't have caramel coloring, … Continue reading A Week of Vegan Lunches: Monday
Looking for Pen Pals!
Just recently I received some pretty awesome mailing labels from PETA, and even more recently I bought a house! This leaves me with a terrible dilemma of not letting all of these cute, compassionate mailing labels go to waste! Here's where you come in: I want to send out cards/notes/whatever to use up my labels (before I … Continue reading Looking for Pen Pals!
