I’ve had a severe lack of Svara updates on my blog lately! But most of my day is made up of watching, teaching, being with, and caring for this silly girl: So here are a few photos showing what we’ve been up to lately. I love Svara’s creativity. A few weeks ago I was clearing [...]

It’s been almost a month since I first posted about our garden, so I thought it’d be nice to make a new post showing the growth! Warning, a lot of photos coming! Here is Svara’s special papaya plant to start, she checks on it every morning. My potato is not looking quite as well as [...]

Ah brownies, how I love thee! When I started baking almost all vegan baked goods, I didn’t know when I’d ever bake brownies again. Then I tried the occasional black bean brownie or tofu brownie recipe. You know, to have a healthy treat. But sometimes you don’t want a healthy treat, you just want a [...]

Ever since I made this vegan almond feta recipe I’ve had many ideas bouncing around in my head on how I can make variations using the same basic recipe. Vegan cheesecake, cheese spread, herbed feta, etc. The first thing I tried was to make a cheesecake, but using leftover almond pulp from making almond milk. [...]
Homemade Almond Milk

I have never been a milk drinker. Even when I was a child my mother recognized that I didn’t react well to drinking milk, so we never had milk at home. We did eat other dairy (which gave me eczema, but that’s another story), but my mother would use water, stock, or juice in recipes [...]

It took me awhile to get into using pinterest, but now it’s my favorite place to post recipes that I see that I want to try! A couple weeks ago I saw this spaghetti pizza casserole that looked so good! It’s not a vegetarian recipe, but I knew I could make it into one! So [...]
Update on Our Worm Composting – We’ve Got Babies!

One of Svara’s favorite activities is feeding our worm bin. It’s been almost a month since we’ve set up the bin, and so far it seems to be doing great! The worms have been eating the food scraps and they are still alive, so I’m guessing they are a type of worm that works fine [...]
Vegan Rice Casserole

Because I like to cook, I love having nice pots, pans, etc. in the kitchen. But because we don’t plan to stay in Malaysia forever I do not like spending money on high quality kitchen stuff. So there are a lot of things I do without in the kitchen. Last month when one of the [...]
