Finally found #glutenfree gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) and tteok (Korean rice cakes) without wheat starch so I could make tteokbokki at home! I added carrots, shiitake mushrooms, greens, and fried tofu to make it into a meal.

Our new foster dog, Blake (she/her)! She came up here all the way from Texas after being found abandoned by a canal with her three siblings, one of which unfortunately passed.
After a case of parvo, Blake and her sister Blair came up to Oregon to be fostered while their brother, Bass, was adopted!

This Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander Heritage Month, I want to uplift the extraordinary accomplishments of AANHPI Americans. From activists to artists, they have made invaluable contributions to our nation’s history.

A few weeks ago I attended Animal Care Expo in behalf of our food service team at Humane World. Though not everyone at the conference was #vegan, all the food was 100% plant based!
The best part: Everyone loved the food! Many people said they didn’t notice until later that it was all vegan.

Thicc and fluffy pancakes from my favorite cookbook, The Elements of Baking, by Katarina Cermel. Her blog, The Loopy Whisk, is one of our favorites! Highly recommend for anyone who lives in a gluten-free and/or vegan household.

Made the “Take a Hike” cookies from our Forward Food recipe database last night and eating them for breakfast this morning! Perfect when you want a little chocolate but something not too sweet or heavy.

This is NYT’s Eric Kim’s recipe for black sesame Rice Krispie treats, easily made vegan with Dandie’s marshmallows & dairy-free butter!
I used a store brand “crisp rice cereal” that was labeled gluten-free to make this celiac-friendly (Rice Krispies cereal isn’t GF due to barley malt flavoring)

As someone who aims to consume minimally, I had a bit of an inner dialogue with myself before making this purchase. Ultimately, it came down to “Does it bring me joy?”. Yes, yes it does.
Honestly, in these trying times, I’m trying to find joy in the smallest of things!
