I MADE IT!!!!!!!!! Whew. What a frickin’ rush. 31 days of eating nothing but locally grown and produced food. If my friends and family thought I was an a-hole to go out with when I was just vegan…well, let’s just say I introduced a whole ‘nother level of pretentious to my loved ones this month. [...]

Simple Vegan Feta
On March - 28 - 2011
I was never a big fan of funky smelling cheeses in my cheese eating days. In fact, I think the only time anyone ever talked me into trying feta, I ended up spitting it back out onto his pizza slice (if you know me well, you know stuff like that happens a lot and probably [...]
Shitake Soup With Wild Wakame
On March - 25 - 2011
Who knew local food could taste so exotic? This simple soup is delicately flavoured with winged sea kelp, an ingredient that is abundant in our area of the world and needlessly feared by wimpy palates everywhere. Yes, we all learned quickly to avoid getting tangled in the stuff whilst frolicking in the waves as wee [...]
St. Patty’s Day Ravioli
On March - 22 - 2011
Oh St. Patty’s Day, or, as I used to call it in my youth-ier days, Night-Before-Me-Throwing-Up-and-Weeping-Most-of-the-Next-Day Day.

(Did I mention I’m not [...]
Vegetable Soup With Herbed Dumplings
On March - 9 - 2011
I have avoided dumplings my entire life, even though I think the word dumpling is nothing short of absolutely precious. Yet, the thought of actually putting a gooey lump of wet dough in my mouth? Not as precious. Oh, I’ve argued people on this point, a bunch, with vehemence. I’m really good at even unwarranted [...]
Garden Beet Soup
On March - 6 - 2011
Beets are great. My Grandpa Mac grew them in his garden and I was always very excited when he felt like sharing. The colour of beets never ceases to amaze me: technocolour vegetables, they are definitely one of the most beautiful things we’ll ever get the pleasure to eat. And if bright colours equal healthfulness, [...]
Locally Vegan, Day 4
On March - 4 - 2011
Today has been my most regular day since the start of the challenge. We have friends staying with us this weekend, so I had to primp and clean and such and I just didn’t have the time to obsess over food like I did the past few days. So, supper time rolled ’round and I [...]
