A blog on life by vegans.
We have endlesssss vegetables to can from our garden. Especially having harvested nearly 200 ears of corn in a day over the weekend! I only have a water bath canner, so I’m having to add acidic foods and pickle the veggies to get them preserved. I was a little skeptical of canning corn, especially in a relish recipe, but I’m soooo happy I did! This recipe is AMAZING… And while… Keep Reading
Of all the dozens of plants we are gardening this year, these tomatoes from Floret are my faaaaavorite. They’re so rich and flavorful and unique, but on top of all that they’re so easy to grow and they fruit like crazy! I started them all inside really early….. like, March early… Which is insane for the PNW unless you have a greenhouse. Oops, guess I was a little over… Keep Reading

Continued from Part One, which you can find here if you missed it! You might have seen in my Instagram stories where I asked for you to submit any questions you might have about our garden, and I fully expected a bunch of questions asking “why so many weeds?!”. To my surprise I didn’t get a single one of those. I’ll explain later anyway, though. Some answers I haven’t given… Keep Reading

I started a little hype toward our garden back in March when I was so beyond excited and hopeful about what we’d accomplish with it. After hours and weekends and evenings full of ground breaking, weed pulling, seed planting, fence building, and irrigation setup, I got lost in the hustle and bustle and stopped providing regular updates, which resulted in skipping over opportunities to share lessons learned (the most important… Keep Reading
Before we get started here I just want to say thanks so much to Coconut Bliss for sponsoring this post! I basically indulged in some Coconut Bliss between every meal in Hawaii, because… vacation, right?! Now to get to business… Let’s talk food! I traveled to Hawaii with my non-vegan family and dining together in strange places took a little patience and planning, so here’s what I ate! : I… Keep Reading
(To skip my rambling scroll down to bulleted points!) Our dogs, Marble and Bo, are our best friends. Maybe this is a story for another day, but Bo was Griffin’s chocolate son before I came along. His life pre-step mom was mainly hunting/hunting dog in training, and being a good boy in the back yard where he lived. He shared his kennel with his brother from another mother, BJ. BJ… Keep Reading
If you’ve been around for a minute you probably read about my journey to heal my gut which in turn healed a plethora of health issues. Since educating myself on how to keep my gut healthy and bacteria in check, I’ve known exactly how to keep myself feeling well and clear-minded. It’s a surprisingly powerful feeling! I decided to round up a few things I’m eating/drinking this summer to satisfy… Keep Reading
Thank you to Belvoir Fruit Farms for sponsoring this recipe!
(Big thanks to Belvoir Fruit Farms for sponsoring this post!) Mother’s day is this weekend! I’d say you’re welcome for the reminder, but Lord knows you’ve been seeing it all over social media! What can I say, moms have never been ones to let us forget anything… 🙂 Part of the lifestyle I’m currently embracing is being less wasteful and ensuring my purchases are coming from healthy, natural, plant-based, less-wasteful… Keep Reading
Do you ever get those child-like cravings for a gooey sweet PB&J? No, just me? I knoooooow it can’t be just me… This is a really good and wholesome grown-up version of a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich. These would make a very impressive vegan treat to share with friends and fam! The slices can be whipped up in a matter of minutes and eaten gooey, although I recommend… Keep Reading
