I baked up my very first vegan pumpkin pie on Wednesday evening for this past Thursday's Thanksgiving Day feast.  I liked the results so much that I managed to eat almost half of the pie.  I shared a few slices with my dad (he commented on how much it tasted like the real deal!), but [...]

My Cooking Christmas List Just a few years ago, my Christmas list would have looked something like this: 1. Clothing 2. Shoes 3. Makeup 4. Gift cards to clothing stores But starting last year, my Christmas wishes changed in a big way.  Last Christmas, about ninety percent of the gifts that I received were food [...]

Today is a day made for quality time with family and friends.  Today is a day made for cooking and (lots of) eating.  Today is a day made for indulging.  Today is a day made for relaxation and rest.  And most importantly, today is a day made for giving thanks.  On this Thanksgiving  day, I [...]
