Wonder which fruits and veggies you should be buying organic? I recently printed out this handy guide featuring the 12 cleanest and dirtiest fruits and veggies (in terms of pesticides). Those items on the left contain the highest amount of pesticides when grown using conventional farming methods. The items on the right, on the other […]
OK, so I finally got around to trying out this green smoothie thing. That is, I tried incorporating some leafy greens into some smoothies. First it was baby spinach leaves, which I blended with a banana, frozen strawberries, and water. The result was OK, completely drinkable, but I didn’t feel like the flavor was enhanced […]
We just got a new freezer (our apartment didn’t come with one), and I’m delighting in all the new food prep options that I have now. Yesterday I bought some mixed frozen berries, and this morning I made myself a delicious smootie with them.
In addition to the berries, I put in a banana, some soy+rice […]
Unclutterer has a great article about uncluttering your refrigerator crisper . I love this well-researched post! I hate it when perfectly delicious fresh fruits and veggies go bad under my care.
Luckily that doesn’t happen often now that I have a teeny tiny refrigerator. Still, I could probably do better at storing items correctly to maximize […]

What do my paintings have to do with vegetarianism? Well as it turns out, I’m quite a veg-friendly artist (as one would expect, I suppose, given that I am a vegetarian after all). I mean, I’m no Giuseppe Arcimboldo, but I have painted a couple fruit and veggie paintings in my day (and more than […]
Mmmm… clementines are in season. These small citrus fruit resemble mandarin oranges and are as much fun to peel as they are to eat. Experts among us can get the entire peel off in one piece (a skill I perfected during my junior year abroad in Italy - hey, at least I learned something).
Clementines are […]
OK, I admit it: while I am a huge fan of fresh vegetables of all kinds, I am much less interested in fruit. It’s not that I dislike fruit; I just don’t have much of a sweet tooth. I’ll take a pile of steamed spinach over a slice of watermelon any day. I occasionally get […]
Actually these are neither. According to the sign at the grocery store, they are called nectavigne and come from France (which still counts as eating ‘local’ for me). It is a cross between a certain breed of peach and a nectarine. I was drawn in by the apple-like appearance of their skin. They were quite […]
