About this time 7 years ago I was prepping for my first trip to Europe. I was so excited and so incredibly nervous. I was going to Greece to study abroad for 4 months. I didn't know anyone else going, and I had barely left the country before (except for a walk across the border … Continue reading My Favorite Greek Breakfast Pastry

Random Rants on the Dairy Industry and Rape
"@joerogan Morrissey is a silly, silly bitch: 'Eating animals is just the same as paedophilia, rape and murder' http://mirr.im/1lgcD4K " I used to eat meat and think that vegetarians were weird hippies. I stood by the agrument that animals were meant to be eaten...they were simply the bottom of the food chain. After watching a horrifying undercover … Continue reading Random Rants on the Dairy Industry and Rape
Happy New Year and Bucket List
Happy New Year! I'm not one for resolutions, but here are some short term goals I made, and a growing bucket list. Short term goals: Complete 90 days of p90x3. I've done 3 days so far and love it. It's the perfect length of time to be doable (not too long) and it's intense enough … Continue reading Happy New Year and Bucket List
Gifts We Gave and Received
Gifts we gave... A Dyson for my mom. I told her we were going to give her ours since our house has a Central Vac system, and she loves our Dyson, but since the Central Vac doesn't cover the entire house, we wanted to keep our Dyson and I bought her the exact same model. … Continue reading Gifts We Gave and Received

And Cheddar Bay Biscuits. And a baked ziti. This year we had gingerbread cookies. This recipe came out awesome (also the best vegan cutout cookie recipe … Continue reading Christmas Food

Since I didn't get a post up before Christmas, here is a quick picture recap: Every year we make a few ornaments. We turned the pellet stove on and it was so relaxing. This year we also painted canvases. Another … Continue reading Christmas Decor
Products I'm Currently Loving
(No affiliate links...just stuff I'm really digging at the moment.) 1. Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Body Lotion ($10.29 Target) I don't really like lotion unless it's just cacao/shea butter. If you read the ingredients on most lotions, there's a bunch of weird chemical sounding stuff. I bought this to try because the skin on … Continue reading Products I'm Currently Loving
Blogging and Legal Stuff
I was in the process of making a holiday gift guide, and had come up with most of the things I wanted to include. No affiliate links, just things that I either think would be a good gift for a female/vegan/techie/whatever. I was Googling how people grab the product images that they use for lists … Continue reading Blogging and Legal Stuff

Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies
This is another simple recipe. There's only a few ingredients and I think it's pretty fool proof. These could be eaten plain as brownies, or topped with a mint icing as cupcakes. We opted to top them with So Delicious Mint Chip ice cream and were not disappointed. Makes 12 brownie/cupcakes: 1 cup flour … Continue reading Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies
