Vegan Cupcakes

A lot of the time, when I cook vegan, I simply substitute a vegan alternative for an animal product in a recipe. There are so many substitutes out there. I’ll include a list of my favorites in another post. Of course, there are also “vegan” recipes out there – yes, really – and my mom [...]

To Vegan or Not to Vegan

I’m certainly not the healthiest person you’ve ever known. But, after being a vegetarian for most of my life (I’ll admit to taking a few years off to cook meaty meals for my daughters and my husband, Pops), I’ve chosen to go Vegan. Now, I try not to be hardcore to the point of alienating [...]

Stanford

Pop’s and I go for walks everyday. We love walking and we’re so lucky, we live in an amazing town for walking. We’re also very spoiled and live close enough to incredible places to take walks and incredible trails to hike. One of our favorite places to walk is in Palo Alto at Stanford University. [...]

Rascals

Here they are….Bubba (my baby bulldog) and Lucy…the rascals. Tusslers really. They have absolutely no idea that my life doesn’t revolve around them. They look cute and innocent, but don’t let them fool you. They’re both incredibly spoiled.

Hi There!!

I’m Lita and I’m very new to this whole blogging thing. I anticipate the look of this site is going to change often – especially with all the lovely themes out there to choose from. My goal will be to create my very own…we’ll see how that goes. But I didn’t want to delay in [...]
