And so it begins...

Welcome to my blog. I have a website about organic vegan food as you can see. But I am looking for a place to be able to share a more personal side of myself. So I am beginning today, on another of the many snow days stuck in the house this winter. Join me as I chronicle my families journey from mostly vegetarian to completely vegan. I have been vegetarian (with a few slips here or there through the years) for a very long time. Unlike most I don't have set time frames for these things, just generalities. I have been vegan (mostly) for around 2 years now. I did however, experiment a lot with vegan cooking for many, many years. I am certified as an Elementary School teacher, as well as a Family Consumer Science teacher(Home Economics for you old schoolers...). I also teach vegan cooking classes locally and am currently working on expanding those horizons. On these cold winter days stuck in the house, my mind naturally turns to food. So off to the kitchen I go to start experimenting! My kids think my kitchen is like a science lab, I always have something growing, dehydrating, or fermenting. Here is where I will chronicle my successes, as well as my failures. I also need to work off some of this brutal winter's cooking frenzies, so I have ordered my very own copy of Physique 57. I want arms like Kelly Ripa's! I will keep you updated on how well that works. She takes Physique 57 classes in NYC 3-4 times a week, and runs 3-5 miles 5 days a week. I am just going to start with my new videos when they come, and sneak in a walk when I won't get run over by a snow plow!!
