Make a Big ‘Ol Pot of Soup

Imagine coming home at the end of a long work (or school) day and having a home-cooked meal waiting for you in your fridge. Cook a big pot of soup and this is what the future holds for you. To make ends meet during the summer I wait tables and working evenings leaves little time to make myself dinner or lunch for that matter. To resolve this issue...

These past few weeks I’ve been traveling beautiful, intriguing, and sometimes unnerving, Eastern Europe. What I’ve been shocked to find is the amount of litter on the sides of roads and in green spaces around the city. However, it has occurred to me that this is not a habit of the locals but of the tourists! Among the most...

My Quest to be Vegan (Without the Box)

A few months ago, I submitted a post to yourKloset about the benefits of veganism. For health and environmental reasons, I’ve been attempting the switch to a vegan, or better yet, macrobiotic, diet for years – unsuccessfully. The major hitch – dinner with friends. It’s one thing if my dietary restrictions flowed from religious...
