Have you been having Nutella withdrawals? I know I have! So I thought it was time for another Nutella recipe before someone got hurt (yes it's that serious in my house LOL) I was lucky enough to get a 750ml jar of the luscious Nutella for Christmas and it was time to crack that bad boy open (I know such restraint right, don't get too excited I have gone through 2 other smaller jars since Christmas tee hee

Bok Bok Bok Bok! Yep it's chicken time again! Don't act surprised. LOL You know I'm on a mission! Plus, I bought a few HUGE family packs of thighs & well I have to put them to good use! Up this time … it's Pollo alla Birra {Chicken in Beer}. I'm not a beer drinker, I'm sure I've mentioned that before. You know I'm a wine girl myself. But this really doesn't have an overwhelming BEER taste in it. Trust me, if so I wouldn't be eating it. I know it calls for TWO whole cans of beer. Yes, it does. But it cooks down for like an hour people and reduces into this beautiful amazing

If there is a constant in my life then it would be that I love sweet potatoes. Almost as much as I love coffee. And salmon. Well cake is a favorite too. The Alexia Foods Reinvent a Classic French Fry contest is coming to a close in a few days. I have been whittling away my time baking up all sorts of baked fry creations. Don't worry, I still spend gobs of time outdoors doing all kinds of summer stuff too

I confess: I like to take a tour of a city - or just a walk through the city - in a carriage every time I get such a chance. As much as I like it, I manage to take such a ride only once, in Vienna. But Berlin is next, it would seem

Guacamole is one of those foods that I can eat for any meal, for any snack, and certainly any time of day/night. Guac with chips, guac on sandwiches or burgers, guac with a spoon, etc. Yes, yes, and yes. All the guac

After spending so much time in the gym, nothing shows off the results like a tight pair of yoga pants. Here is today's sexy girls in yoga pants

A few years ago, I knew nothing about gardening. It seemed like a useful but time-consuming hobby: too much hard work and too much information to take in. Then I moved to a small farming community in the mountains of southern Spain, where old men wearing flat caps still use mules to plow the earth, and everyone in the village has their own vegetable garden, or huerto

There's a kind of joy in watching vintage Hollywood films or reading classic Black Mask writers such as Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. It's not nostalgia, because you probably haven't lived those years. It's more of a fascination bordering on a yearning for beautiful times when women were dangerous and wore silk affairs for breakfast, men had a side parting

August is the time to sow veggie seeds for a late summer or fall harvest: Lettuce, broccoli, beets, carrots, radishes, and other short-season crops. Shade lettuce, if possible, during late afternoon to keep young plants cooler, or grow them next to larger plants, such as tomatoes, that provide some shade. Shading is easy using white row cover over a frame or wire hoops. Water seedlings often, and mulch between rows to preserve moisture and block weed growth. Bear in mind that the date to maturity of late summer planted vegetables may be extended by as much as two weeks, due to the shortening length of

Topped with margarine and raspberry jam, loaded with shredded vegan cheese and pizza sauce, or piled high with fresh veggies, English muffins are a fav around the PETA office. We love them so much that we decided to have an English muffin party to try out a variety of toppings. See the photos below for inspiration the next time you're looking to spruce up a classic English muffin, a bagel, or a piece of toast

Spring is here, which means it's time to get your garden ready for a new planting cycle! After a long and cold winter, it'll be tough to get your garden ready to go, but with a little bit of sweat and hard work, you'll soon have a bountiful garden

enjoy slow-cooked casseroles and chunky vegetable soups, not to mention fragrant, oven-baked puddings. After all, that is what keeps us all going through the colder months. But by this time of year I want bright colours, not brown food, lively flavours, not comfort food, and new dishes instead of old favourites

With warmer weather finally arriving, I've shifted my attention to outdoor decorating and gardening as much as I can. Over the weekend, we were able to rake the front lawn and clean up the perennials in the front flower bed. Thankfully, my son is home from his first year of college and was a big help. I remember when he used to get out his little plastic gardening set as a toddler and get down to business (I think making more of mess than anything!). Wow, time flies, and now he's the one we get to trim the high tree branches because he towers both of us!

I am proud to announce that this year, for the first time ever, I made an entire vegan Thanksgiving spread! Because I'd never done anything like this before, I chose simple recipes and didn't go too overboard on the number of dishes that I created. That being said, everything was incredibly tasty, and we devoured every delectable morsel on our plates. We couldn't move for the next six hours. Take a look at the photos below, then save the recipes and prepare these dishes for your next holiday meal!

This post was originally written 8/8/11. I waited a few days before posting to be sure it was how I still felt. It is. It's a little rough as I typed it up quickly as the ideas were fresh in my mind. Many will not agree with some of these statements, vegans included. Whether you agree or disagree I still appreciate you taking the time to read

How would you like to have your very own lemon tree at home? This can be solved easily as you can grow your own lemon seeds and plant a tree wherever you want. We advice you to use organic lemon seeds for this project. Take one lemon, peel it and take out the seeds. Leave the seeds to dry. After that peel of the shell of each seed gently and make sure you leave the inside untouched. Buy a flower pot and soil and prepare it carefully, then plant the seeds. Add water to moisten the soil. Cover the soil entirely with pebbles and cover the flower pot with a plastic wrap. Find a warm place for the pot and leave it there. Once the lemon seeds begin to sprout remove the plastic wrap to leave enough space for your plant to grow. Don't forget to moisten to soil regularly. Be patient and take care of your plant as it will take a long time until the first lemon will appear. It usually takes around 8-10 years for the first
