Cashew Tamari Dressing

Hi all! How have you been? Not too much to report on my end. Just working a lot and doing as much yoga as I can fit in. Actually there is one exciting thing.. I’m doing yoga teacher training!

Updates and Vegan Treats

Hi strangers! I think this blog has made a liar out of me. I tell myself I’m going to post, maybe even tweet about it or post it on FB, but then nada.

After the shows I was definitely burned out and looking for something new. Whatever...

Lightened-Up Apple Cranberry Crisp

Hi all! Happy “Wednesday” night. I just love Thanksgiving week.. I mean how can you not?! Thanksgiving is my very favorite holiday. Even though we should be thankful everyday, it’s always nice to have a reminder! I imagine I’ll probably put together a post (actually been working on it), but in short, this year has really blown me away. On pretty much a daily basis I wonder how did this all happen? How...
