Reasons to Smile.

1. Scrambling around the house like a mad woman, all to prepare eighty desserts for Sunday night's Veggie Conquest. More on that to come!

 Dessert #1 - Balsamic Strawberries and Cream

Dessert #2 - Mint Chocolate Mousse

2. PBS airing "Food, Inc." last week and then making it available to watch online until April 29th. Haven't had the chance to see this awesome documentary? Click here, and check it out!

3. My brother devoting one of his final grad school papers and presentations to Brendan Brazier's book for vegan athletes and nutrition, Thrive (So proud of you, little bro!).

4. A classmate, Jessica Pomerantz (who is also a beautiful singer!), bringing in two different different desserts to our scene study class a few weeks ago - one being vegan, so I could enjoy a treat!
