A few pics of our new home & Parma Giveaway!

the kitchen
I feel sorta bad that I haven't been posting any recipes...but I will soon, promise. For now our home is my focus and I thought I would share a few pictures. This is the kitchen...I really want to get it renovated, but for now it is good (ARGH! except the oven doesn't work properly!!) I really love all the natural light though :)

One of the best parts about this home, it's only a quick walk to the beach. This is our view from the front of the house. I love waking up to the sparkles on the water.

O.K. that's all I got so far...the rest of the house is messy with boxes and art I have not put up yet. So far I have been super happy here, I suspect it will get better in the winter, because we have a wood stove in the living room!! What could be better on a snowy day then curling up on the couch and warming your toes by a fire!


Alright it is time for another giveaway!The good people at  Eat in the raw sent me some PARMA vegan Parmesan to sample and give one of my lucky blog readers a chance to try some too! The kids and I tried some last night I made vegan macaroni and cheese and steamed veggies. I liked it sprinkled on the cauliflower.

The ingredients are Raw organic walnuts, red star nutritional yeast, Celtic sea salt & LOVE! (love is an actual ingredient listed!) The nutritional yeast that they use is Red Star Vegetarian Support Formula. It is the highest quality nutritional yeast available. It contains good quality protein and B vitamins, including B12, a vitamin we vegans are constantly on the lookout for! 

The possibilities are endless with Parma!! So how do you get your hands on some of this...just leave a comment on what you would love to sprinkle this on. Don't forget to visit there site and read about the company!

  2. I'm so jealous of your home! The lighting is awesome, and your view...wow. I'd love to try the Parma -- regular parmesan adds so much flavor to dishes that I've been reluctant to give it up entirely, even though I know it's ethically questionable.

  3. I'd sprinkle some Parma on pasta with marinara sauce, a baked potato, steamed swiss chard, or really, just about anything!
    Your home is stunning; best of luck getting unpacked and settled in.

  10. Your house is adorable! I just LOVE your Canada living space! When we moved, a fireplace was a must! I love my fireplace! I love Parma, too--and am sort of addicted, if truth be told--for my popcorn nights especially! The stuff rocks on popcorn!

  13. I honestly believe that cheese makes just about everything better, and am often frustrated by my inability to make things vegan (on principle) because of my love of cheese. So! I would love to try this on...just about everything. :)
