Bookish, Veganish, Holding it Togetherish
Know how they say you can’t pour from an empty cup? It’s a nice sentiment, but too vague and frou-frou for me. I need logic, not metaphors. This is more my language: Nothing in life can be done optimally, not for ourselves, not for our families, and not for our
I have a strong stance that makes a lot of people uncomfortable, as it’s something we’ve all been guilty of. You can’t buy health. By that, I mean, don’t buy meal plans, diet foods, health pills, or even… gym memberships. Let’s get this out of the way first:I’m not criticizing
Kids need healthy after school snacks that refuel mind and body. They can be a handful at this time of day: tired, cranky, and hungry (seriously, school is a lot of work!). But finding the right balance of healthy and tasty can be tricky. Ditto with serving size. After school
Vegan Easter treats let plant-based eaters enjoy the holiday. Easter is my absolute favorite holiday, I love all the pastel colors, renewal, hope, and uh, candy.

I haven’t entered a supermarket without a grocery list since 2016. Using my plant based grocery list and meal plan saves me time, money and sanity. I’ve been vocal about my veganish diet and distaste for processed food. So what do we buy at the grocery? How do we keep costs
Vegan cauliflower mac and cheese is served weekly at Ish Mom headquarters. I’ve already told y’all about my love of cauliflower. Cauliflower contains an important nutrient called choline. As choline gives me a nutrition hard-on there’s plenty of it in this vegan cauliflower mac and cheese recipe. Vegan cauliflower mac
Are you in withdrawal from cutting out all the processed snack food in Mini Resolution May Part Two? Me too, man. Studies have found sugar to be as addictive as hard core drugs. It’s no surprise that when quitting Frankenfood we can feel classic withdrawal symptoms. I present my healthyish
