Earlier this week we discovered Great Bagel in Lexington, KY. It inspired me to make this for lunch. Everything bagel from Great Bagel, sliced English cucumber, my homemade alfalfa sprouts, my homemade cilantro, garlic hummus.

Happy New Year!

We spent the holiday break traveling, a road trip. The plan was to surprise my husband’s family on Christmas Eve. And, that we did. They said, best Christmas present ever. It was a long trip, two days down, three days back, three days on the way back because we decided to rest an extra day. Continue reading “Happy New Year!”

Eating in Asheville

We love the flavor of Asheville, North Carolina, – mostly their mountains, shops and vegetarian/vegan restaurants. It was our anniversary destination and on route to seeing our family, mainly our grandson. Upon arriving in Asheville, one of the first things we did after settling into our hotel was to go to Laughing Seed Cafe. ItContinue reading “Eating in Asheville”

There were people at the unloading spot to take advantage of other people’s discarded stuff. I’m notContinue reading “A Step into Nature and What is Natural”

Vegan Fifteen Minute Woking

I do a lot of stir fry. It’s simple and I love using my wok which I’ve probably had for thirty years. It’s also something that is quick, and sometimes I wait until about fifteen minutes before my husband comes home to start dinner preparation. I’m usually waiting until the last minute to start dinnerContinue reading “Vegan Fifteen Minute Woking”
