Muhammara

There is only so much hummus a girl can eat, and believe me, I can eat hummus morning, noon and night.  Lately, though, I decided to explore other dips and spreads.  I had seen several muhammara recipes but ended up using the one in The Vegan Table, which I bought a few months ago and […]

The Next Chapter: The Joy Diet – Chapter 5 – Risk

The Next Chapter: The Joy Diet – Chapter 4 – Creativity

October 17, 2009

I feel a bit odd writing this, especially considering that other people in Jamie Ridler’s online bookclub, The Next Chapter on The Joy Diet: Ten Daily Practices for a Happier Life, really disliked the chapter, but I actually found the creativity chapter very familiar.  You see, for several reasons, I am for the most part very […]
