Zucchini Rolls with Herbed Goat Cheese + 30 Day Yoga Challenge
I’m on my 10th consecutive day of doing yoga and while this has nothing to do with zucchini, I had to share. It feels like ages since I took care of my body. The emotional turbulence of the move, coupled with leaving my job shortly before that crippled my ability to focus on anything but….
Apple Pie Cupcakes with Cream “Cheese” Frosting
I’ve been watching a lot of Food Network TV since we moved in to our new place. Every time I tune in, Anna Olson is front and center preparing another one of her irresistible desserts.

Back to Bending

Vegan Masala Basmati Casserole + Exclusive Facebook Contests and Recipes
I haven’t shared an Indian themed recipe in a long, long time. In fact, it took a couple of readers sending me requests before I realized it was about time I jumped back on the masala train and got to preparing some new Indian dishes for the blog. Is it weird that I’ve been enjoying…
