I have posted about Saigon Street Eat’s tours in Ho Chi Minh City recently, and I really can’t recommend them enough for a unique and culturally rich way to experience Vietnam! The first time we did their tour, we did a morning Saigon Pho Trail food tour—which started with a Pho noodle soup breakfast, shopping at the markets, and stuffing our bellies to the max at a Buddhist temple. Since we enjoyed it so much, before leaving...

I am up for trying almost any type of fruit or vegetable that Mexico has to offer. Surprisingly, I’ve actually come across some new ones that I am not fond of (didn’t know that was possible?!), and of course…ones that I am fond of! One we recently came across is CARAMBOLA, or star fruit.  You can see in the photos how it got its name!  Overall, I wasn’t impressed with this one. Perhaps I didn’t get one that...

Remember when I said I would share with you some of my tried-and-true favorite vegan recipes? Chances are no one cares, and the people who have asked for this in the past no longer read the blog…but, oh well!

But I haven’t posted...

Almost a year later…I have finally gotten around to cooking up her Ratatouille recipe for the first time! It was fantastic, and...

I have to admit that I’ve had a bag of couscous hanging around for about a year…and I haven’t figured out what to do with it, until now. I picked it up in the bulk section of the grocery store in Whitehorse, Yukon (because Canadians are healthy like that, eh?)…but I put it in a recipe for the first time this week. I pulled out a recipe I found online, originally from the “Vegan Express” cookbook. The...

Lately, I like to go “shopping” for recipes at www.findingvegan.comIt is an awesome website that lets users submit recipes (with gorgeous photos)…and I can basically just look through all of the photos for an idea of what to make for dinner! Take a look…you’ll be drooling, too! I found this recipe, and made it yesterday. It is supposedly a “salad”…but I personally thing most dishes like this...
