While I'm not a vegan, I do agree eating more plant-based foods is beneficial. I recently discovered hot for food on YouTube and have been binge watching since Friday. That channel, along with the host's personal YouTube, are so entertaining and informative. I appreciate that Lauren Toyota is passionate about her vegan diet and lifestyle, but respects others' decision to be vegan or not. She educates people, like me, about veganism and has sparked my interest to explore it more. To be honest, ... continue reading...
The Making of a Farm Board with The Farm at Agritopia and Barnone
Food has become a phenomenal outlet for me not only to express myself creatively, but also support the community.

Sweet & Salty Cinnamon Sprinkle Mix
Saigon cinnamon is nothing short of spectacular. Unlike traditional ground cinnamon you'd find in a local grocery store, this version has a spiciness that warms any dish. It is also sweet, so I like playing up the contrasting, but still complementary, flavors by creating a cinnamon sprinkle mix.

It contains peanuts, sesame seeds, salt and ... continue reading...
