It is even fun to know that my family is enjoying my blog and sharing stories about their experiences. Recently my […]

Review – Real Food Nation
Sunday, February 6th, 2011
I first heard about Real Food Nation from a friend who caught wind of a place in Santa Fe that makes their own gluten-free buns for their burgers… That was exciting! As many readers know, it is a rare occasion to find a restaurant that actually makes their own gluten-free substitutions so this was not […]

Food Photography Calendar Winner
Saturday, February 5th, 2011
Congratulations to Rebecca, the winner of my Food Photography Calendar, featuring photos of 12 of my favorite recipes! Rebecca’s comment on the Budding Lotus Facebook Page was that she would like to see a Vegan Thai Curry…”not reliant on tons of soy”. I love that idea! I am not a fan of soy products either, […]

Coconut Hot Chocolate
Thursday, February 3rd, 2011
It is cold here in Santa Fe! I know that the Northeast and Midwest are getting a whole lot more snow that we have so far this winter, but…it was -2 degrees this morning, and didn’t warm up much more than that. Apparently there is even a state of emergency here in Northern New Mexico, […]

Chocolate Pudding Smoothie
Thursday, January 27th, 2011
I am building a new business… Preparing marketing materials, strategizing on fliers, business cards, how to best use social media… Planning opportunities to network in person and connect with people in my community. But, I am shy, so while I tread into new territory, and step out of my comfort zone to make new connections […]

Raw Apple Sauce
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011
Ever since I moved out West, I have been a big fan of Vitamin Cottage. I find it more down-to-earth than Whole Foods, and with better prices on most items…and has more gluten-free, health geared options than Trader Joe’s. So, a large percentage of my shopping is completed here… But I am definitely one to […]

Quinoa Broccoli Salad
Sunday, January 23rd, 2011
Last night was so much fun! After much anticipation, I finally co-hosted a swishing party (I have been hoping to do this for a while now). For those of you who do not know about swishing, basically it is a great way to get a bunch of friends together and swap clothing. It was great! […]
