A Pagan vegetarian wife and Jewish omnivore husband makin' it work!
We take a break from your regular Samhain in Salem programming to bring you a really interesting article I read this morning. I blame this interruption on Matt. In one fell swoop, he managed to weird me out about the honey on your average supermarket shelf and suck me into something known as CNN's Eatocracy. He knows how obsessed I am with food, especially food that comes from weird places or … [Read more...]
All right, so the butcher's all done making certain cuts for his shop or for the grocery store's order, but he has all these scraps left over. Pieces that would be way too small to sell to anyone, basically just lying around collecting dust. Seems unfit for perfectly good meat to meet (ha!) that fate, right? No worries! If you need to stick a whole bunch of pieces together so you can slice 'em … [Read more...]
Sometimes, coexisting is actually really hard. And can result in some heated debates. Matt and I argued about food yesterday, from our different diets (which isn't typically a problem but holy crap yesterday) to how to raise healthy kids with healthy diets, and pretty much everything in between. Of course, we started when we got to bed at 10pm, and probably passed out (finally!) around … [Read more...]
Riding on our vitamin D high from yesterday's fun-filled day outside, Matt and I decided to fire up the grill and make some cheesesteaks. Except there was no steak, but turkey (or turk'y, in my case), which would be a travesty to the most hardcore cheesesteak lover. There was, however, a good amount of cheese, and the most delicious carmelized veggies you've ever eaten (and some leftovers to enjoy … [Read more...]
I have a lot of labels for myself (Pagan, witch, vegetarian, writer, violinist, paralegal, wife, friend, whatever [no, seriously... that's one of 'em]), but the one that people find most confusing, oddly enough, is "vegetarian." I've received a lot of comments from that one little word: Do you eat chicken? I'm making dinner, will you have fish? How about this crab dip, that's okay, right? Wanna go … [Read more...]

A very classic pasta recipe with a vegetarian twist! The more veggies you pack into these (both the omni and veg versions), the better, in my opinion. Feel free to leave out or add fillers at your discretion; the ones I list below are merely suggestions. This dish can be easily frozen for meals the next day… or, at this rate, the whole week! Especially easy for packing work or school … [Read more...]
Hey, everyone! My name is Stephanie, and I've been a vegetarian for the last 13 years. I currently live with my fiance, Matt, who is an omnivore. I created this blog in the hopes that others who live in mixed-dietary households could have some recipes that are easily adaptable to suit everyone, a place to talk about veg*n-omni issues and thoughts, and so forth.Matt and I are also a mixed-faith … [Read more...]
