This is Vegan: May 2012

http://thisisvegan.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, May 30, 2012. S'mores Cupcakes (& Paul's 29th Birthday). Paul was born on May 20th. Meaning that he always celebrates his birthday on the May TwoFour, which is notorious here in Canada for cottages, camping, beaches and other types of summertime debauchery. Technically, we're celebrating Queen Victoria. But really, we're celebrating the end of parka season. It's the unofficial start to summer here in Canada and the weather is usually absolute crap. Just scroll down a little bit). The whit...

This is Vegan: The Hogtown Vegan, Toronto

http://thisisvegan.blogspot.com/2012/04/hogtown-vegan-toronto.html

Monday, April 30, 2012. The Hogtown Vegan, Toronto. This past Saturday, Paul and I made the pilgrimage to The Hogtown Vegan. In Toronto. The restaurant is just a little over an hour away from our front door, so it shouldn't have taken us as long as it did to make the trek out and try some of their famous diner-style vegan grub. But, we do have a special needs dog at home and leaving her for extended periods of time is something we don't like to do. As such, our visit kept getting postponed. Luckily, our ...

Sunday, October 27, 2013. Anyone still out there? I can't believe it has been a year since I've posted here on TIV. The two lines on the pregnancy test pictured in the entry below turned into a beautiful, strong, vibrant little girl who is now eight months old. And I've decided to mark this new phase of my life with a brand new blog. Please visit me at. I look forward to interacting with you there. TIV will remain open as an archive - feel free to click around and see what I was up to from 2008 to 2012!

This is Vegan: Banana Everything Cookies (and a Bachelorette Party)

http://thisisvegan.blogspot.com/2012/05/banana-everything-cookies-and.html

Tuesday, May 8, 2012. Banana Everything Cookies (and a Bachelorette Party). Later this month, I will have the privilege of standing up for my longtime friend Kathy on her wedding day, as her Maid of Honour. You may recall that I don't like being referred to as "Matron" of Honour, even though that is technically what I am, because I'm dangerously close to 29 these days and that in itself is enough age-related trauma for right now. Kathy is letting me have this one. I wanted to bake some sweets for the car...

And other strange tales). I’ve been a mom for thirteen months now. I’ve actually kept a child alive for thirteen months! You do realize that I once killed a cactus, don’t you. The most self sufficient plant there is? You don’t even need to water them most of the time! But you probably shouldn’t put them directly under a heat register. Your body won’t ever be the same. Via HuffPo captures this sentiment beautifully, by the way. You might not feel connected right away…. 8230;and this does not. Tired I felt...

This is Vegan: August 2011

http://thisisvegan.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 30, 2011. I'm getting excited for fall. So excited, that I've already started building my Fall Recipe Arsenal even though it's not even September yet. Fall foods are my most favourite. Squashes and casseroles and pumpkin pie spice all over everything. While it's still way. They also provide the perfect opportunity to up the nutrient value of your dinner. And not only up it, but hide. The lasagna's "heartiness" comes from this - mashed white kidney beans and crumbled firm tofu. If you're f...

This is Vegan: December 2011

Tuesday, December 27, 2011. Christmas Eve, 2011]. Does anyone else feel like they have a giant ball of dough sitting square in their gut today? My body takes a serious beating every holiday season. A delicious beating.but serious nonetheless. Truth be told, I'm kind of struggling to remember what kale looks like. The festivities have left me too tired to be witty or creative so I am just going to show you what we ate. We started the celebrations with a Christmas Eve lunch at my Mom and Dad's:. Except tha...
