Corn. It will forever be my favorite vegetable no matter how many others are cooler, trendy or pack more punch. I grew up on a farm (shocker at this point if you know me) and corn on the cob was a rite of passage. We literally could hear it growing at night and counted the days till we sunk our teeth into it. It wasn’t like today when you get… Keep Reading
When I first went vegan, I remember it was challenging to learn an entirely new way of cooking. It seems simple enough to just eliminate dairy and meat – but where do you start? What recipes work beyond just roasting veggies and making smoothies and how the heck do you cook tofu??? It’s been a couple of years, so I forgot how challenging that can be until I had a… Keep Reading
Too late for a NEW new year? I could use a redo. We spent ours on the couch not doing much like everyone else, and resolutions haven’t kicked it yet either. After the first week’s events, I feel like we all deserve a second fresh start so this weekend is it – take your second chance we don’t always get them. Whether it’s dry January, Veganuary, working out more or… Keep Reading
It’s that time of year again when we love to all start new and as always, I love #veganuary for those who might want to try it out and see the difference it made in my life 2 years ago – December 2018 I said I would try it and have been mostly plant-based every since. You can see some of my journey here. But being plant-based doesn’t mean it’s… Keep Reading
I know, you’re reading this and thinking – but you’re a HUGE meat eater! You grew up on a DAIRY farm! You’re changing your ways? Yes I am. I went (unexpectedly) vegan. And it was actually a lot easier, and more fun (and delicious!) than I expected. And still is… How did it happen? Right after Thanksgiving and a massive meat feast, I was approached to do this One Meal… Keep Reading

There are two proven aspects of life that will give you gray hairs fast and furiously – kids and the presidency. 2020 graciously has been filled with both of those in heavy doses. So it’s no wonder so many of us are looking in the mirror and seeing, well LESS color. To be honest, I’ve been one of those lucky souls who started getting single slivers of gray from a… Keep Reading
There’s no need to repeat it again, but why not? 2020 is THAT year. A strange year. But alas, here we are only a few days away from 2021 and the countdown is on. But to get there – we’re going to have to go through flu season, in the cold, in NYC. The days are long my friends. So, we’re been prepping for it. While I am trying to… Keep Reading
Believe it or not, Animal Crossing has actually been around for years and was just recently introduced to Nintendo Switch (and Switch Lite). There is really NOTHING you can’t do in this game and it’s always showing us new and fun things to do. So it’s for adults, too? Yes! It’s one of my favorite games to play with Max together. We have tents, we grow flowers, we explore nature… Keep Reading
It’s definitely a weird year and Halloween is only about to make it get weirder. But tis the season – so over here, we’re saying embrace it and let the creepiness take over. While it won’t be trick or treating most likely, it just opens up new doors to get creative as a family. And we’ve done our part with Halloweens past, including Maxs’ Halloween birthday party in July a… Keep Reading
