Whether you’re giving up dairy products for health reasons, or you’re doing it for the animals or the environment, cheese can be an especially tough food to quit. I have my sensitive stomach to help keep me in line (dairy has always been a no-go), but if you’ve been in the habit of putting cheese
Thank you to American Greetings for sponsoring this post! We have a handful of summer birthdays in my family. There’s Aaron’s birthday in mid-June, mine a week later (and our dog, Honey’s, two days after that), my soon-to-be sister-in-law Lauren’s birthday is next, and then Aaron’s mom, Kathy, has a birthday in mid-July. With Lauren’s wedding coming up
We’re now in full-on farmer’s market season in Boston, which is arguably the most wonderful season of the year. There’s no shortage of fresh produce, and I love to let whatever fruits and veggies look best that week guide my meals. Salads are always a staple at our house, but particularly in summer when it’s too hot
Thank you to Sabra Hummus for sponsoring this post! One of the things I’ve learned about myself over the years is that I like to take care of people, especially in the form of feeding them. It might be a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich for Aaron to take with him to work, a
Do you have any fun plans for the 4th of July? Aaron and I are taking not just the 4th off, but the entire week! I’m so excited I can hardly think straight. We are waaaay overdue for a vacation. However you’ll be celebrating, below are 8 of our favorite vegan 4th of July recipes that

It’s not like eating cake for breakfast hasn’t been done before, but if you’re like me, it’s usually been in the form of standing over the kitchen sink taking bites of leftover birthday cake (extra
Last December I shared a recipe for Tofu Banh Mi Bowls with Spicy Pickles and it quickly became one of our most popular posts. It also happens to be one of my personal favorite meals, which is why I decided to fuse it with my recent taco obsession to make tofu banh mi tacos! I used a similar tofu recipe
Do you ever make a recipe and think to yourself, “Wow, that was really rewarding…”? It sounds silly, but sometimes being in the kitchen is almost meditative for me. Kneading dough, piping cake frosting, and apparently pouring mini cheesecakes into cupcake tins all do it for me. It feels good. And that feeling is made even
Thank you to Lodge Cast Iron cookware for sponsoring this post! Raise your hand if you’re in need of a vacation! (me too) The weather has been wacky in Boston, per usual, oscillating between 50 degrees and rainy several days in a row, then 75 and sunny the next…turning to rain in the afternoon. We’re making up
This post has been sponsored by Simply Orange. All thoughts and opinions are my own. We had an unseasonably cold and gloomy start to Spring in Boston, which had me all kinds of upset. The thing about living in New England is that you can (mostly) talk yourself into getting through January and February, but
