rise from your grave, my love,

for we have much to do.

the night has beckoned us again,

a silver moon in view.

place your hand in mine, my dear,

and I shall lead the way.

we'll glide above the fallen leaves

and dance amongst decay.

take heed of the horizon, my pet,

it appears we must desist.

the sun may rule the sky this mourn

with mortals at its behest.

embrace this sweet slumber, my love,

we shall rest our immortal eyes.

Hello, my lovelies. The celebration of amore falls upon us tomorrow. Love will be in the air and lovers will given to temptation and the like. As for me and my husband - we celebrate bit differently. One of our favorite places to be alone with one another is the cemetery. In the summer of 2010, my dearest husband actually proposed to me in one after surprising me with a romantic vegan picnic as the sun went down. He blindfolded...

At one point in time, it was rare to see hemp milk on the store shelves as much as you would see almond and cashew milk or you could only find it in health food stores. Now, you can walk into most grocery stores and spot in on the shelf in all of its glory. And while this is just a wonderful sight to see hemp milk in the presence of its peers (walnut, pea, pistachio, oat, almond and cashew), some people still have not been warml...

The beginning of February marked the celebration of Imbolc - the traditional festival marking the beginning of spring. In my home, we cleanse the walls and floors, clear our home with Palo Santo or White Sage, bless the home, bless my altar and I head to the kitchen for a bit of witchery. In the morning, besides a cup of tea, nothing is better than an early mourning feast. Since I am a busy goth mum of two little gothlings and a...

I am always baffled by the reactions that I get when I tell people that I make my own milks (actually "mylks"). "How do you make your own milk?" I gladly explain how. Then, it is followed by, "Wait....you make milk out of nuts and seeds??? How is that even possible? Milk comes from animals." *Insert sigh here* Again, I gladly explain how. And then comes the grand finale, "Well, that's great but that's too much work." On the cont...

So, yet again, I delve in to the realm of vegan cheese making. I mostly make raw vegan cheeses, but how found so much pleasure in experimenting with flavors and creations when it comes to making these beautiful little wheels. In this case, this creation that you see before you is actually based on a request. A while ago, someone sent me a message asking, "Can you make a black cheese?" Several answers to said question: the first...

The beautiful thing about pesto is how versatile yet simple that it is.....and what you can pair it with. I love pesto on avocado "toast" (my Raw Vegan Black Chia Seed and Sesame Bread), with thick slices of purple carrots, delicately wrapped around zucchini noodles, spread on two large portabella caps for a burger (vegan, oh course) or....just on your finger. Don't worry, it is not cannibalism...it just divine when you lick it...
