An Introduction

Career- Currently I am a freelance writer based in New York City.  My articles/writings focus on food, family, health, nutrition, education,  and parenting.  I am also working on the completion of my Ed. D at Teachers College, Columbia University.  My dissertation research is on how early childhood education programs are borrowed and then locally adapted at the international level.  My husband tells me I need to work on a 30 second version of my research, however I have yet to find a way to explain it easily.  I am also a former teacher and taught in an elite Manhattan private school for 10 years. 

Family – I am the mother to two young children (ages 4 and 20 months); and the wife to a wonderfully supportive and creative husband.

Purpose (of this blog)- My original intent was to offer recipes/advice/humor to those who are new to veganism, or who simply want to add some new ideas to their current way of eating.  I want the site to be realistic and practical, without losing taste and integrity.  I am all for the quick and easy – however I am also a foodie and believe that whatever you put on the table should be full of flavor.

However, this site has quickly morphed into much more than a simple posting of recipes and cooking methods (actually those seem to have taken a back seat for the moment, but I am on it!)  Rants, ramblings, and musings have also found a home here, some of them related to food issues, but for the most part they are about bigger, or smaller, things in life.  I promise to keep it all organized!
