Chickens & Timberwolves

I have grown up as a Timberwolves fan. I am not the most adamant or die-hard of them, but coming of age during the organization’s prime has always given the franchise a warm place in my heart. I rooted HARD for KG and the Wolves in the 2004 playoffs and was devastated when they lost […]

Twin City Vegan Comfort Food Challenge 2021

After a long break from posting, this event seemed as good a reason as any to get back up and running! These events are always a good motivation to get out and try some new restaurants that have some regular menu items that they would like to highlight, or some places that are considering adding […]

Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge 2020

I have been making my way around the Twin Cities to try some of the restaurants that are participating in the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge this year and it has been a blast so far! The challenge is going for the entire month of August and is organized by Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA). […]

Memorial Day, 2020

This week has been devastating. I don’t know of a single person that is not feeling emotions ranging from fear, anger and rage to disbelief, sorrow, helplessness, and anxiety. Yet, these feelings that a majority of us are feeling will never compare to the feelings that many of our fellow American brothers and sisters feel […]

I started to get the vibe right at the beginning of this week (as I hope EVERYONE else has by now) that this social distancing thing really needed to happen ASAP, and that I had to do my part to keep the speed of the spread of this virus to a minimum. Monday, 3/23, was […]

moving towards minimalism

I am officially on the bandwagon! Or at least as much as I can be for now. I have been listening to podcasts, watching documentaries and shows on the topics of minimalism and frugality and am going to make a concerted effort to manage my consumption more consciously. This effort has a few different purposes […]

dry january – the full month

Today I will likely end my dry streak, after 37 days. The Super Bowl is an event that I truly enjoy watching with friends and may decide to have a beer or drink while out for it, and that is ok for me. My dry January actually started a bit early, as I got hit […]

dry january – midway

In my new years post I mentioned that I was going to do a dry January to start the year and keep my current fitness momentum going and to cleanse a bit. Please note, that on average I typically drink or have drinks on one to two days each week, so I am not making […]

the new year

It is a new year, and everyone is making their annual pledges to change their lives with the turning of the calendar page. It does seem like a natural time to reflect, introspect and prioritize life and what could use some refreshing, or a new path completely. Many people commit to grandiose changes, or make […]
