The Search for Felafel
In my last post, I mentioned my friend Assim and our common passion for felafel. I haven’t had a good felafel in a long time. It got me thinking about all the food that I enjoyed in my travels to Turkey and Morocco. This morning, I was driving down Albany Street, thinking of Assim and […]
Vegan doggie Treats
My friend Katherine Pomponi, many of you know here as one of the most fabulous O2 Yoga Teachers ever, sent me a link for Wagatha’s Doggie Biscuits and other products. They are having a special on 3 new flavors and all three just happen to be vegan. Now, they probably don’t use that word because […]
Food is Love
My friend Assim I have a good friend, Assim, who is from Lebanon. I met him on the street one day. As we were passing each other I stopped and said, “Good morning. How are you?” My friends think I am crazy but I make a point of saying hi, or good morning, or something […]
Chocolate Mint Cupcakes
Okay, so I have made this recipe a few times in the past couple weeks for various reasons. One, I made this as a cake for my son, Dylan’s, birthday. It is his favorite cake and he likes it with raspberries and fresh mint leaves. I also made this for a fundraiser I did for […]
Vegan Boy
I want to celebrate my son Dylan on his 10th birthday. He has made 2 choices of late which are worth noting; one to cut his waist length hair and donate it (http://blog.o2yoga.com/2011/05/10/hair-today-gone-tomorrow/), and the other was to become vegan. He decided to go vegan while we were still on our RV trip. I will […]

Strawberry Frosting
I don’t know about you, but I love frosting. Funny thing is I am not a sweets person but I love to make things with frosting on them. They are so festive! Typically, when you think of frosting you think animal ingredients right? Butter specifically. Well, I guess this post is really an ode to […]
