A few months ago, the editor of Miles and Minutes, the quarterly magazine of the Richmond Road Runners Club, reached out to their members for content. They were specifically looking for race recaps, etc. to wax nostalgic about what running a race in person was like. I volunteered my blog post about my last inContinue reading “I’m Published!”

Vegan Chili Verde
We had one of those nights last week when I couldn’t figure out what we were going to have for dinner. None of the suggestions I made suited my teenager. And then I peeked in the pantry for ideas and spotted a jar of Trader Joe’s salsa verde, and that’s when inspiration struck. Sure, itContinue reading “Vegan Chili Verde”
Hot Stacks Cafe: Vegan Restaurant Review
We typically prepare most of our meals ourselves while on vacation, which is what we do at home normally. But it’s nice to have one or two meals out. This year, we did takeout the first night. But later in the week, my daughters and I decided to visit my favorite breakfast place we discoveredContinue reading “Hot Stacks Cafe: Vegan Restaurant Review”
Revolutionary Soup: Vegan Restaurant Review
If you read my last post with the recipe for peach salsa, you remember that my daughters and I took a day trip to Charlottesville last week. Part of the reason for the visit, besides peach picking at Carter Mountain, was to visit one of our new favorite restaurants, Revolutionary Soup! My younger daughter andContinue reading “Revolutionary Soup: Vegan Restaurant Review”
Peach Salsa
I was lucky enough to have a Monday off last week. Don’t get too excited for me, as it was merely a shift in my workweek. I worked Tuesday through Saturday. Anyway, my daughters and I decided to take a little trip to Charlottesville with our free day. As is required during peach picking season,Continue reading “Peach Salsa”
Thai Top Ten: Vegan Restaurant Review
Thai Top Ten is one of my family’s favorite restaurants in our area.

The key here is to let your serverContinue reading “Thai Top Ten: Vegan Restaurant Review”
Vegan Egg Rolls: Air Fried!
A few months ago, my daughter expressed some curiosity about making fried spring rolls at home. Knowing that you can buy pre-made vegan egg roll wraps in the store, we decided to try our hand at making them.The twist? We used the air fryer! Soon after our first successful attempt, our air fryer broke. AfterContinue reading “Vegan Egg Rolls: Air Fried!”
Vegan One Dish Chorizo Rice with Peppers and Onions
During my last trip to Kroger, I was lucky enough to find a huge bargain. They marked down their Simple Truth vegan chorizo sausage links to 45 cents. That is not a typo! Of course, I bought some. These pack a whopping 27g of plant-based protein per sausage. I’ve never tried this seitan chorizo before,Continue reading “Vegan One Dish Chorizo Rice with Peppers and Onions”
Pho Que Huong: Vegan Restaurant Review
Pho Que Huong is a Vietnamese restaurant in the Virginia Center Commons area of north Henrico County outside of Richmond. They took over the old Famous Dave’s location, and have slowly been adding decor to make it look less like a BBQ joint! But much of the old seating, etc. remains. It’s what one wouldContinue reading “Pho Que Huong: Vegan Restaurant Review”
The Silver Diner: Vegan Restaurant Review
One of my vegan friends clued me into the fact that the Silver Diner has recently upped its vegan game. Since the Innsbrook location is not too far from home, my husband and I ventured there for dinner for the first time in a couple of years. Known regionally for seeking locally sourced items forContinue reading “The Silver Diner: Vegan Restaurant Review”
