To many readers excitement or dismay, my half-assed recipes are back.
Though I have fake-a-tarian status, I was craving beef stroganoff for dinner. Luckily I had some of the leftover egg noodles and Boca beef crumbles (a prop for my Sh*t Green People Say satire) and took a trip to Whole Foods. I played off the Vegetarian Casserole Queen’s recipe and made my own half-assed twist.
Here’s what I did:
One thing I enjoy about being a green activist and blogger is my belief in the value of a sustainable lifestyle is often reenergized by the efforts of others.
Lately I’ve been giving thought to the zero waste home – as the family behind the concept continues to garner well-deserved press.

So I knew I officially turned old/domesticated/boring at the ripe ol’ age of 28 when my parents gave me 2 casserole dishes for my birthday… And for Christmas I received (after asking for) a 9-cup, Kitchen Aid Food Processor.

Rachael Kennedy recently completed her Low Car Diet with Zipcar, just like I did last year! We had a chance to ask her a few questions about her experience. She’s a recent Temple University graduate who moved to Philly last August. Just as she was going on her second year as a city-dweller and sick of the parking scene, she heard about Zipcar. The Low Car Diet seemed like a perfect trial period to go car-less.
