Oi! Hello hello! Happy weekend, my dearests. Did you have a wonderful week? Did you work hard and meet your goals? Were you kind to yourself, allowing relaxation when you needed it? I hope it’s been a spectacular seven days since we last met up in this Friday forum. And if by chance it hasn’t, I hope that you can see a way to make your next seven days shine a bit brighter.
Like, maybe start off by taking a moment to pause and appreciate the little pleasures that each of our lives is offering us, all the time. Here, I’ll go first!
Le Love List
1. Vegan Iron Chef! The second annual Vegan Iron Chef competition took place last weekend, and I had the pleasure of attending for the second time. This year was amazing! Bigger! Better! Sooo fun, such a fantastic celebration of veganism and our incredible community. Loved it. I posted a few pictures here.
2. Meeting fellow vegans/bloggers in Portland! I ran into two new friends at Vegan Iron Chef, and it’s always so fun when the interwebs turn into the for-reals-webs. Big hugs and hellos to Janessa and Meghan!
3. Spirulina! I’ve been eating it in everything this week, like smoothies, cereal, porridge, energy bars, cacao balls, nom nom nom. I’m finally used to, dare I say even fond of, that strange salty green flavor. Hooray! Can’t seem to get enough, and with super healthy food, that’s always a great thing.

Coconut diversity! From left to right: macaroons, young Thai coconut, fresh young coconut water, cultured coconut yogurt, blended coconut milk, dried shredded coconut “meat”, whole mature coconut. Did you know that coconuts are freaking fantastic? It’s true! They’re one of my absolute favorite foods, for two main reasons. First, their nutritional profile is outstanding and [...]
This little penguin finally learned how to use a straw. Green juice made easy! The return of WIAW, and another glimpse into our crunchy, crazy lives. But before I dive into the foodie-type stuffs . . . Each week I play along with WIAW and I really enjoy it, and it seems like you all [...]
Glass straws are one of my absolute favorite plastic replacements. Read more here. This month we’ve made it our mission to finally find alternatives for some of the less conspicuous, but nevertheless wasteful, objects in our lives. For example, this whole idea was inspired by my desire to replace my paper coffee filters with something [...]
At the NW Veg vegan barbecue on the fourth of July. Oi! Is it the weekend already? I loooove short weeks, don’t you? And it’s been a great week! The first with my new bike *and* a baby bike seat. Waits adores his iBert and we have been going on loooong adventure rides every single [...]
