Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Well….this has been quite a year…

    I hope you are all doing well.  What an unbelievable time to be alive. It’s certainly scary and uncertain times, but I have faith it’s going to be okay.  We are at least all in this together. I don’t want to focus too much on what’s going on in the world here, we have plenty…

  • Advances in Veggie Science

    When I first began my vegetarian journey back in high school there were very few veggie options out there.  You could have a Boca burger, a Boca burger on a salad, a Boca burger on pasta, etc.  I’m still amazed to this day how many meat alternatives are available at pretty much every grocery store.…

  • Christmas Recap

    I cannot believe how quickly the holiday season flew by this year!  Thankfully we were able to fit in a lot of Christmas cheer in a short period of time (and with a minimal amount of meltdowns to boot!). We kicked off the season by heading up to Indian Head Resort.  This is the third…

  • Baby #2

    Let’s just say baby #2 is a game changer, especially when you have a toddler at home.  While it’s been challenging I’m finding having a newborn the second time around so much easier than the first time!  I don’t know if it’s because Baby C is super chill or if I’m some sort of magical…

  • I’m Back…

    We’ve been a tad busy since I last checked in.  I had been meaning to write several entries over the course of the last year but they will remain in my pending posts file. Well first of all, if you don’t follow me on social media, we had another baby!  We had a baby boy…

  • Vegan Review: True Bistro (Date Night!)

    I’ve been very fortunate this week.  This week I ate at two of my favorite vegan/vegetarian restaurants.  Go me! Let’s start with Tuesday night.  Dylan and I were lucky enough to have my parents want to babysit Soy Bean, so we had the evening to ourselves.  I think the secret to a happy marriage is…

  • Review: Beyond Beef Crumbles

    Tonight is an exciting night.  We are finally wrapping up The Sopranos.  The hubby and I committed to this series and now we are down to two episodes.  Then hopefully I can talk him into watching Orange is the New Black! I don’t know about you but watching The Sopranos makes me super hungry, I…

  • Summer Check In

    Is everyone staying cool out there?  This is the hottest summer I can remember!  I just got  back from a brief stroll around the neighborhood with Soy Bean and I’m exhausted. I can’t believe it’s already August!  I feel as though the summer has flown by yet we’ve been out of school forever.  I’m torn…

  • 3 Years…

    I just wanted to write a quick post.  A few days ago the hubby and I celebrated 3 years of marriage.  I can’t believe how much has changed over the last few years.  We had a baby, bought a house, adopted a dog…the list goes on. Marriage is certainly not easy because life is not…

  • Let’s Talk Bread

    This post isn’t even a review because it’s about bread.  By default bread is perfection.  I mean, I can’t really think of a bread I don’t like. Can you? I’ve been intending to post about this bread from Trader Joe’s for quite awhile, but it tends to disappear quickly in my house. When you find…

  • Review: Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry

    Guess who is taking took a nap?  Soy Bean! I’m (or I was) so exited this is a nap that doesn’t involve me holding him.  Freedom!  He’s been down for about an hour and so far I’ve paid three bills, vacuumed, mopped the floors, cleaned the counters and made lunch. Speaking of lunch today I pulled…

  • Pupdate

    Thank you Adrienne for the term.  So cute. What’s also cute?  My dogs! Guess who said his first word…Soy Bean! Guess what it was…Daisy! I’m a jealous that I’ve been taking care of Soy Bean his whole life and we’ve only had Daisy for three weeks yet her name is his first word?  Well, let’s…

Got any book recommendations?
