February has become a brutal month for winter weather across the States, and I bet it is the same in other countries.
With the winter weather comes cozy indoors, but with limited income and high heat costs, cozy no longer means the same in 2010. There are many eco-conscious people out there, too, who are aware [...]

Watching late-night television, we get sucked in with the infomercials. One in particular tells me about purifying my air and how that would help my health.
I am a sucker for filtered anything. We live in a dirty, dirty world and anything to get me away from that filth will make me happier. But I am [...]

Well, winter is already here! For the Northeastern United States, it has been weird to already see snow “early” in winter. Snow blanketed much of the country this past week, and then a swift, freezing cold wind blew past us.

First of all, whereas there a number of health risks for eating [...]

Breakfast for dinner is always fun, and so I decided to make some. Breakfast for vegans can be a bit difficult, because most dishes contain eggs, different in a way that cakes and cookies contain them. However, I found a good recipe for french toast, my favorite morning dish.

Soup is such a great go-to eats when you can stand it, because its easy to make a huge batch and then heat [...]

Quick and easy.
Those are two of my favorite words, and this is true with this recipe, ground veggie burger casserole, or vegan hamburg helper.
