Thank you for all of your encouraging comments and emails in response to my last post. I'm feeling much, much better this week and I can't think of a more appropriate way to celebrate than with these vegan sweet potato pudding cups. Just about a year ago, I saw these baked pumpkin puddings on ...

Perfect Guacamole
Some things never change. This weekend I met up with some of my best friends from college for our Alma Mater's homecoming game. It's officially been a decade since we graduated, which does not seem possible. I learned that although a lot of time has passed, some things just don't change. Like ...
