We’re sitting under a layer of ice with all but a handful of things near us closed and cancelled for the day. We’re forced into the terrible comfort of our own home; made to lounge in our slippers in front of the fire for an extra day.

It is officially the holiday season which could be surmised solely based on the amount of butter I use on a weekly basis. It’s kind of ridiculous but, also, kind of awesome. Whoopie pies are a necessity of holiday indulgence, naturally, and if you don’t agree, then you’ve never had one.

This dish has roasted vegetables, sautéed mushrooms and onions, bites of cubed cider-glazed tofurky roast, herbed stuffing, pops of cubed toasted cornbread and fresh, lightly-sweetened cranberries. It’s then topped with chopped smoky maple tempeh and a tiny sprinkle of brown sugar that can be dressed up as you like.

Sometimes, it’s easier to have someone else (like that nice woman in the [...]
As my kids ripped into their pop tarts with a certain lacking shyness of crumbs, I chomped into a crisp tart apple. I handed them napkins, fully realizing that napkins could never mitigate such crumbled pastry and thought, “Eh. whatever. I’m on vacation.” I then reached into my pocket and felt [...]
Gorgeous fall foliage, extravagant and plentiful Oktoberfest activities for all ages, quality family fun adventures, and of course… Ben and Jerry’s. Need I say more?
