A Labor Day Summer Round-Up: Vegan cooking school, travel eats, gardening and blogging conferences

If you’re in the U.S., happy long weekend! Today I thought I would simply provide you a round-up of summer highlights.  Tomorrow feels like “back to school” day and I don’t have kids and I’m not taking classes this term. But my summer of fun is coming to an end. I prepped lots of food for the week (two bean dishes, two mixed grain dishes and chopped up my fresh veggies) and I’m ready!

As we move into fall, here’s a look back on the summer.

1. I planted my first urban bistro garden.

2. I took a 3-Day Cooing Intensive with Christina Pirello in Philadelphia in June.

3. I traveled

4. I attended Vida Vegan Con in Portland.

It was a wonderful Summer.  Fall, I am ready for you.

    1.  Sadly, I have a big yard — just not a green thumb.  I failed gardening a few years ago and thought I might be able to handle container gardening. I was right!

  1. I just found your blog and love it…and if I didn’t have the bug to take cooking classes then I definitly do now! You have taken some great classes!

    1.  Thank you, Ryan!  I’m addicted to cooking classes.  I learn something new every time and it inspires me to cook (or prep food) differently and to eat more creatively!
