Saturday at Central Florida Veg Fest, I talked about Aging Compassionately: nourishment, ethics, and self-compassion can deepen with age.
🌱 We don’t have to do it all.
🌱 We get to choose what nourishes us.
🌱 Eating well for longevity is self-compassion.
🌱 Staying vegan as we age is activism.

So this is 60.
I spent the past year preparing. Not just for a birthday, but for the next chapter.

Dave outdid himself with this one. Gluten-free and vegan, it’s a sausage pie with pesto (instead of tomatoes sauce).

I’m transitioning part of my sourdough starter to gluten-free so that I have baking options. Salty Sue, the FL starter I created last summer, now has a GF offspring: Meet Suki!

A variation of the Collard Greens & Beans one-sheet dinner from my book Fast & Easy Vegan.
This time: collards, yellow peppers, pinto and black beans. Big flavor, one pan, minimal cleanup.

Happy accident in the kitchen today and my lentil soup game is forever changed. Discovered I only had 1/4 cup brown lentils. Found 1/3 cup of red lentils and about 1/3 cup of split peas. I added them all to the Instant Pot with vegetable broth, water, tomato, carrot, mushrooms, and onion. So creamy.

Years ago after hearing about Baltimore‘s Vegan Restaurant Week, I decided to start one in Colorado Springs. It went on for many years and grew from 7 restaurants to over 30! It’s such an amazing community event. Love seeing them pop up. Here’s one in Pittsburgh!
