I often hear, “vegan food is bird food.” Or, for example, my carnivorous cousin was staying at our place last month and being a great sport about eating plant-based.

The kids arrived and the room already smelled of yummy popcorn–was that the inner teacher in me trying to motivate my kiddos […]

If you would have asked me when I was little if a fun Friday night entailed cooking beans for 40 people, I would have questioned that. However– with a little music, the windows open and the opportunity to feed people healthy-love-filled food…..it was indeed a Friday evening well spent! Beans for 40…… First, I soaked […]
