About

I’m Eileen–a Seattle mama obsessed with making my family as healthy as possible, starting with the food we eat. But I’m not into deprivation, detoxing or hating-on-myself in any way. So it’s been (and still is!) a slow and gentle process. We became (mostly) vegan in the spring of 2011.

I find beauty in sadness. Or I should say, when I am happy I’m nostalgic for times when I have been sad. I find there is a particular, raw beauty that is missing in happiness. But I’m not a drama junkie…just your average Jungian turned stay at home mom.

I worried when I moved to Seattle from Virginia that the weather would bother me, but I find it suits my temperament perfectly.

Some of my favorite moments involve singing off key, the sound of my baby’s laughter, and experimental vegan baking…a perfect moment would include all three.

Here are a few posts that give a sample of what this blog is all about:

• Welcome to Love and Greens
• My Mission-festo!
• Anything-Oatmeal Bars
• Oh, Right.
• Where to Start?
