2 YEARS STRONG

I'm Back!! It has been over 2 years since my last post, and I have managed to stick with this vegan thing!  So much of my life has changed: new city, new friends, new job.  There are still some constants that have helped me get through this crazy time- food, yoga, running..and wine =]

Update on life: I was promoted at work to a merchandising execution  leader and transferred down to Cincinnati.  A note on Cincy.. not the most uh vegan friendly location.  There are a few options which I frequent regularly but a city with a nickname "Porkopolis," (due to the country's chief hog packing center)..doesn't cater to the vegan lifestyle.

I have since mastered some extreme chef skills.  I purchased a vitamix and am still learning the amazing things it can do-like make ice cream and pb? I have fallen in love with kale and tempeh and both have become staples at Whole Foods.  Which is now conveniently in walking distance to my apartment.  Cooking has become such a passion of mine; I look forward to every next meal.  When I cook..everything is extremely elaborate! Not elaborate in a time consuming or expensive way, just a ton of healthy, whole ingredients combined to create bliss.  I have started cooking more for friends and family.  When my steak and burger eating friends approve..more bliss =]. 

More recently I have played with the thought of opening a vegan cafe.  Always having an entrepreneur drive in me, I have tweaked my life goal to owning not just a tea shop but a combination of the two: Vegan cafe/tea shop.  This was once a dream for much later in life but so many young entrepreneurs are taking advantage of incubators and the foodie trend.  I am inspired.  Any investors interested? I can make a mean business plan =]. 

More posts to come soon.  No more 2 year hiatus.
