A Vegan Taste of Park City, Utah; Jackson Hole, Wyoming; Big Sky, Montana Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Travel

For the past three weeks, Scott & I have been on a snowboarding trip through Park City, Jackson Hole, and Montana.

Although we've been cooking most of our meals in our hotel room using my trusty pressure cooker (stay tuned for a future post on that with pics!), we do like to venture out from time to time and see what we can find!

We went to Park City first and had a helluva time eating out. I'm not saying …

In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, this week's Teaching Tuesday is all about potatoes! (I didn't want sweet potatoes to feel left out, so they're included too!)

I will never understand why people forsake the potato. No, a potato isn't "fattening" — it's a vegetable! The "problem" is the company Mr. Potato sometimes hangs around with.

Minimalist Monday: What Paper Docs to Keep & Shred (How to Purge Financial Clutter & Manage Household Records) Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Minimalist

Now that tax season is upon us, I thought I'd share a snippet from my first minimalist book, Minimalist Monday: Declutter Your Way to a Zen Home. (You can order it in all electronic forms (PDF, Kindle, Nook, etc) here.)

Admittedly, weeding through stacks of papers isn't what I would call a good time, but it's so worth it! (It shouldn't take more than an hour or so, either).
