Love, Love, Love your blog! I found you via a search for vegan blueberry muffins- voila! What a fab combination of photog,blog writing and culinary talents... I just found you this morning and I am instantly a forever fan.

I plan to try several of your recipes this week. I raised six kids on whole foods and home-cooked meals, sometimes out of what I already had in the pantry, sometimes replicating what local/regional chefs offered in their dining rooms. Going out to eat was expensive for our big family, but we ate well at our dinner table -- Pasta/Chicken Ricatoni's, Sitar Curried Chicken and Vegan Aloo Chana Masala (with Lundberg Rice, I might add), or Quinoa/Wild Rice with Veggie Ratatouille. We were a blended family of meat-eaters and nutritarian/vegans!

Thank you for your amazing offering of thoughts and culinary inspiration here!

I love this mason jar idea. It's a brilliant way to keep it fresh and divide it into perfect serving sizes. Time to shop for more jars.

In reply to Debbie. I'm so glad you found me. Congrats on making the transition to veganism! A few of my favorite blogs for easy, everyday vegan recipes are Oh She Glows, Minimalist Baker, and Keepin' It Kind.

I'm so sorry that you had to experience sadness for the first half of the summer. Breakups, even when your the one to fall out of love, are always difficult. Good for you for picking up the pieces and focusing on the good things in life.

Mason jar salads are so awesome. I love the ingredients in yours.

Beautiful photos! I love Lundberg's wild rice and it sounds amazing with the grilled summer veggies <3

I started this year with a broken heart too so am right there with you as far as feeling all those emotions and how everything has its season, eventually getting brighter again... glad you are feeling your creativity and inspiration coming back! You totally got this.
