Post 1 The Foodie Goes Greener Project

November 10, 2010

We are all constantly being sent signs from the universe about what path to take. After I finished blogging about my thirty days during The Foodie Goes Vegan Project, I became depressed and lost the natural sense of wellness that the project had provided me. Even though I am not staying strictly vegan now, I [...]

Day 30 The Foodie Goes Vegan Project

November 9, 2010

This evening, dinner was a celebration. For me, each and every meal is a celebration, but tonight was particularly special because my daughter Brenna is home for Spring Break and my thirty days of being vegan and blogging about it each day are over. To be honest, I have been avoiding this last blog because, [...]

Day 29 The Foodie Goes Vegan Project

November 9, 2010

I love waking up early in the morning and lying in bed as I prepare my energy for the day. Every day brings a fresh, clear, new slate. Each morning we wake up, we have the opportunity to release behaviors that no longer serve us into the past where they belong. Sometimes I think about [...]

I have signs hanging in both my office and in our master bathroom that say “Live with Passion.” Lately, because of my past and the state of our world, I have felt a strong desire to “Live safely.” I don’t want my life to go away. I now realize that this desire to live safely [...]

Day 27 The Foodie Goes Vegan Project

November 9, 2010

I believe that our soul whispers to us throughout our lives. Our soul knows who we are. It is we who get lost and need to find our way back home. Most of us know who we are when we are toddlers. We are young, loud, demanding, and full of joy and curiosity. My daughter [...]

Day 26 The Foodie Goes Vegan Project

November 9, 2010

In the midst of a crazy few days, I decided to join my husband Stephen, and stepdaughter Heather, for their lunch date. Having a desire to check out Vita Café, I nudged Stephen out of his comfort zone and a few miles further to NE Portland in the Alberta Arts District. The Vita Café serves [...]

Day 25 The Foodie Goes Vegan Project

November 9, 2010

It has been a busy few days and soon it will be time to put on the brakes and slow down.  But for now, the track meet continues. Stephen and I begin our days early at the gym or by walking Lola, so I often leave a freshly cooked pot of steel cut oats (porridge) [...]

Day 23 The Foodie Goes Vegan Project

November 9, 2010

The vegan dinner party at Grant’s house was incredible! He served Potato-Asparagus Soup, Organic Green Salad with Apples and Walnuts, and Spicy Chick Peas with Red Jasmine Rice for the main course….. and dessert was a killer Carrot Cake. The wine was just as delicious as the conversation so, needless to say, I was operating [...]

Day 24 The Foodie Goes Vegan Project

November 9, 2010

A few nights ago, I sat down with Isa Chandra Moskowitz at Grant’s vegan dinner party. OK, I stalked her, just a little bit. At the end of the evening, I kinda remember that she was running away from the building as we left it together, but maybe the time was up on her meter? [...]
