To-do list for the first Sunday of November, 2022:
- Wake up woefully unrested, given the extra overnight hour overnight (tough week, busy mind)
- Spend the early morning wondering what to write about today, over coffee.
- Eat breakfast (banana chocolate chip muffin, yogurt with hemp seeds and berries).
- Feel an idea of what to write about taking shape. Feel pretty good about that idea.
- Eat lunch (leftover one-pot Italian quinoa lentils, vegan parmesan, salad).
- Go to a fun orange wine fair, hosted by a friend, along with another friend.
- On the way home, marvel at the 75º weather. Think about friends who are running the NYC Marathon. Hope they’re not uncomfortably hot or bothered by the humidity. Make a mental note to track their progress later.
- Arrive home. Laundry. Dishes. Tidying. Pulling some things out of the freezer for the week ahead.
- Answer a few work emails. Realize midway through so doing that what I want—and need, truly—is to bring some leftovers to my mom’s place, have dinner, talk, and watch TV. Without looking at a phone, a computer, or a tablet.
- Publish this to-do list.
Taking a break tonight, friends. Allowing this Sunday to be a sabbath, a day of rest.
Lots of fun food to share with you in the coming weeks! Tonight, sharing my love and gratitude and appreciation of your presence.

As the Golden Globes light up TV screens tonight, let’s go ahead and give the award for “worst vegan food blogger” to me. I’m sorry, friends. I know I’ve been MIA, and that it’s been a while since I shared a worthy recipe. This was one of those weeks in which life just got in the way of blogging. Rest assured that there is so much I want to do with and for this blog in 2014, and do it I shall. I’m…
Happy Sunday, friends. Hope the weekend has been good to you. My big news this week is that my new cookbook, Power Plates, is officially available for pre-order whenever books are sold! The on-sale date is January 23, which seems far away now, but the time will fly, and it’s incredible to me that it’s all becoming real. At this time last year, I was still in the thick of the recipe testing process, my kitchen a perpetual gauntlet of dirty dishes. It felt…
Q: Gena, where were you all weekend? A: Mad busy! But I missed you all so much, and it feels great to be online again. Thanks to any and everyone who chimed in on my last post. What a smart and nuanced collection of musings on the value of raw foods and raw foodism! I wanted to mention that the blogger who wrote the post that originally inspired mine also wrote a smart and thorough response to me this morning. In it, she…
Happy first of the month, friends! I welcomed December today with my first sampling of Christmas carols, a little holiday shopping for my near and dear, and some perusal of scrumptious and seasonal recipes from friends. Here’s what I found: Ashlae’s baked pumpkin and tofu with kale looks like perfect seasonal comfort food. Speaking of pumpkin, I’m drooling over Anne’s pumpkin pie chia pudding (I love mixing pumpkin and chia! As well as pumpkin and…anything). Lauren’s raw coconut passionfruit kisses are not only…
