Are Farmers Markets Really Cost Effective?
Let me start this blog post by saying that there was a time–nearly a decade ago, mind you–that I was one of those people who believed farmers markets were a racket. I thought the vegetables were overpriced and kind of damaged and mostly I went for the specialty items like corn jelly. I lived in…

Peles Castle, Sinaia & Onion Soup ~ A Plant Based Conundrum
Castles. I love them. Wherever I find myself in Europe there is always a castle nearby and you can count on me to want to hit up. But not in the “I want a White Knight and King’ kind of way. No, more in the way that the halls are so filled with history and…

Tarka Dal: A Delicious Vegan Lentil Treat
Maybe you don’t know this about me, but I LOVE Indian food. I didn’t always, though. Back in 2003 I was visiting D.C. for a training session right before I began working on the upcoming Presidential election and we were treated to dinner at this little family owned Indian restaurant. This was my very first…

Vegan Family Style Meals
So, here we are at my first Friday as a resident of Romania–officially–and my belly is full. Not stuffed, mind you, just that I have been indulging a little more than I should on some fine Romanian food that my mother-in-law has graciously made while we get our place set up, our fridge filled with food…

We recently took a day trip to Würzburg, a small town of about 100,000 people in the Bavaria region of Germany. This place is what you think of when you think of idyllic small towns, except it is filled with some truly amazing architecture. Now full disclosure; I’m no art expert but I fall into the I…

Caille à Vin (Quail in Wine)
One of the things you may not know about me, and how would you since it’s the first time I’ve mentioned it, is that I am a total Francophile. Ever since I was a young girl I have admire just about everything French from the beauty of the sensual language to the buttery croissants and…

Spicy Coconut Moqueca
When it comes to TV chefs everyone has their favorites. I’m partial to Rachel Ray mostly because it was her easy and accessible style of cooking that prompted me to change my life by cooking my own meals and becoming more conscious of what I put in my body. Of course Rachel’s portion sizes leave…

Beer & Seafood Soup in a Bread Bowl
I wouldn’t say that I lead a sheltered life as a young child but I was a fully grown adult before I had the luxury of eating soup from a bowl made out of bread. I was living in Boston back in 2004 and working hard for John Kerry and sharing a huge coastal house…

Creamy French Onion Soup
Since the weather here in Stuttgart doesn’t seem to be anywhere near Spring-like figured it was time to revisit a soup that I’ve only grown to love as an adult. A few years ago I lived in Boston and enjoyed many of the best things the city has to offer, including lunch and Shakespeare in…
