Sienna has developed a rather passionate obsession for a picture book that we got from a book fair last year. We have read it over so many times now that my eyes start to bleed whenever she comes near me with it. The other day however, there was an interesting change from the norm. Awww, cute! Awww, clever! Emphasis on the pwate! Sweet! Um, yeah… Sooo cute! and then What the? How the? The unschooler in me is impressed…the vegan in me is just plain disturbed. I wonder w

Cooking chunky soups and stews are all too easy when using one and they tenderize meat perfectly. Because higher temperatures are reached inside the pressure cooker while cooking, the food is finished being cooked much quicker.But, not all pressure cookers are created equal. Are you using your mother’s old rundown pot? Isn’t it time for you to get a new one? I’m sure there are some good memories of some of the delicious dishes you’ve prepared with it. But new pressure cookers have so many more

I am aware that I’ve been rather slow on the posts lately, what with being too busy to spend much time on the computer. Now, on top of being rather slow, I’m going to be internet-less for a week. Thought I’d let everybody know that there will be more posts coming (I haven’t orphaned this little blog), I’m just away for awhile. Things to look forward to when I come back: veganizations of recipes from the Les Halles cookbook for Hezbollah Tofu (so far, I think I’ve got an idea for Soupe Moins

So, at 9pm this evening, I came down with a headache and put myself to bed, only to wake up with an even more severe tension headache at 1am (and it is now 1:40.) Sometime between 9 and 1 I recall taking Advil, but it wasn’t working, so I got up, walked around, and decided to plant myself at the computer for a bit to relax. Right. Immediately, I started instant-messaging Justin, a friend of mine who lives in Texas. After a few swigs of diet ginger-ale, we got to conceptualizing my new career p

To day was a very good day I went out shopping with my wife and her friend to WholeFood store. I got some Eucalyptus essential oil some that I can make some cream for my leg to stop the pain. I am praying that it works. I am not going to take any pain medicine at all. On Friday I went to the store and got a Juicer so that I will not have to use the Nut Milk bag as often. The Juice was only 14.00 because I got it from a thrift store however store like Target has the same juicer for about 45.00. W

It’s been widely reported that allergies are on the rise and even my own daughter seems to have an abundance of food sensitivities. To address them, we began to consider some alternative ways of eating and thus have read Sher and Doherty’s book, You Won’t Believe It’s Vegan! With over 200 recipes in this book, variety abounds with everything from warm gooey cinnamon buns and tofu scramble for breakfast to baked samosas for dinner and pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. Additionally, you’ll fin

Cherry, cherry oh baby, Don’t you know I’m in love with you? …for those of you old enough to remember that UB40 song. I can just hear one of my nephews saying now, “What’s UB40?” As a wedding gift, my very smart mother gave us a gift card for a local nursery. We thought, What better way to get started in life together than to plant some fruit trees? Out we went and bought four trees: cherry, apple #1 (honeycrisp), apple #2 (pink lady), and the FrankenPear (five varieties grafted on to one

While we’re on the topic of ethical footwear this week, Natalie Portman has recently designed a line of vegan shoes for Té Casan, and she is having a sale. In between being a superstar, a main feature in Elle and speaking out for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), she has also found the time to design darling animal-free footwear. Her designs are cute, classic and sophisticated. I dig the Potok and the Pixie (shown here), both on sale. Natalie has been a vegetarian since ag

And one baddie. Let’s start with that. I decided to try my hand at a vegan layer cake. I know what you’re thinking- “You should probably stick to cupcakes.” And after the grossness of it, I would have to agree with you. I’m not posting the recipe or what book I got it from because I don’t think it’s the recipe, I think it’s my lack of awesomeness in the kitchen that effed this one up. It’s called “Five Spice Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Maple Frosting.” Sounds tasty, right? Wrong, chief. Waa

I bought a butternut squash for the first time last week and decided to make a curry based on recollections of the delicious curried squash sometimes included in the vegetable thali at Ceylonta, an Ottawa restaurant which specializes in Sri Lankan and South Indian cuisine. In case you are also new to the wonderful world of butternut squash, I recommend checking this video out; it might make your peeling experience a little easier :). My recipe makes one large serving, and is a work in progre

Eight years ago, a designer with a penchant for architecture, subculture, and bold ethics launched MATT & NAT - a line of vegan accessories that is unabashedly tearing down any notion that you can’t be fashion-forward and an environmentalist. Anyone who is only one or the other might just be lazy. Inder Bedhi (Matt & Nat) Inder Bedi, the brain in which MATT & NAT both reside - and the 34 year old discerning brute whose headquarters are in Montreal, makes no apologies for his comm

Our bodies need periodic inner cleansing in order to function well. While most of us already know the health benefits of detoxification, knowing how to start a cleansing diet is not of common knowledge. When we talk of detoxification, we think of spas and expensive diets. But you don’t always have to [...]
