Scrambled Tofu with a slice of toast makes a perfect filling breakfast.

Scrambled Tofu

Just because you're considering a vegan diet doesn't mean you have to give up the pleasures of a big, country-style breakfast. I'm a small-town girl myself and let me tell you, we know how to do breakfast! The trick to making it vegan is finding delicious, animal-free ways to enjoy the start to your day. Don't think you can do it without eggs? Take a leap off that cholesterol-laiden wagon and try something different, like Scrambled Tofu.

52 Photographs: The Rose

A close-up photograph by Marly of a pink rose.

What do I have in common with Martha Stewart? Well, not as much as I'd like. But I do have this pink rose bush thriving by the side of my house. I take it as a hopeful sign that the green thumb emerging on my hand may not be gangrene.

Letting the Dust Settle

A photograph on Namely Marly of settling dust dancing in the early morning light.

The sweet fragrance of honeysuckle in the air lulled me into a temporary state of cleaning insanity. I started with the blinds in the bedroom and quickly became distracted by illuminated dancing dust in the early morning light. After a few sneezes I decided to take a photo. Picasso has a quote about the dust of our lives and it leads me to think that even cleaning the blinds can somehow be an adventure in art.

Spring Wedge Salad

Two wedges of iceburg lettuce adorned with smokey apple bits waiting to be eaten.

This Spring Wedge Salad is bursting with fresh and flavorful ingredients like smoked apple bits, tomatoes, and a light and refreshing Vegan Ranch Dressing. Today's post comes with a bonus too. I have some news about an exciting vegan recipe contest with super cool prizes. Throw your hands in the air with me!

Me and the Best of the Indigo Girls

The end of a guitar is illuminated in light and leaning against an old wood table.

My hubby bought me a present for my birthday, a DVD, "The Indigo Girls: Live at the Roxy."

We've been so busy lately so it's taken awhile, but we finally sat down to watch it late last night. By the time we snuggled on the couch together it was just me, the hubby, the dogs, and my diet pepsi.

I'm not usually a night owl. Even with the Indigo Girls to entertain us, caffeine was required!
