There are some foods out there that just scream meat, don't you think?  For me, the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich is one of them.  The idea of turning a Philly into a vegan sandwich was somewhat baffling to me...at first.  But then, I tried the vegan Philly "Cheesesteak" Sandwich at a local restaurant called Block 16.  It [...]

Today is Tuesday, and I am linking up with Becky's Treat Yourself Tuesday link-up in celebration of having attended my very first Friendsgiving this past Sunday night!  Becky is a firm believer in treating yourself well, and I definitely think I accomplished that this weekend. When Joanna invited me over for her Friendsgiving celebration I [...]

It has been a busy, busy weekend and this coming week should be more of the same.  But I can't leave you hanging, so I am popping in with a quick (and cozy!) recipe for all of you.  You know how I feel about my overnight oats.  I am basically in love with them ;).  A [...]
