Aloha Everyone! This is my 1st post on Blue Sky 💙💠
I'm Cristina! A plant-based personal chef and soon to be cookbook author! I'm looking for other vegan/plant-based accounts to connect with!
I'll be sharing v food, culture, tropical photography and more!
I'm back on Blue sky after a little bit of a hiatus! I plan on posting here again more often. Here are the last of the flowers I picked from our garden before we started getting freezing weather. Roses, calendula, nasturtium, borage, marigold.

Happy May Day!
In Hawai'i, people celebrate May Day as Lei Day.
I'm wearing a haku lei (head wreath) and a shawl with a fern given to me by my sister-in-law.

Happy Earth Day 🌏
I also launched a cookbook today! I'm so grateful for those who have shared the beauty of these islands with me. May we strive to protect our oceans, honor our sacred lands and love all the inhabitants of our one Earth. See link in bio for cookbook!

Did anyone else go shopping because of the tariff threats? I enjoy shopping on Weee for Asian food. I understand that food from across the world should cost more because it's not the most environmentally friendly, not because of someone's ego.

Met Giacomo at Honest Weight Coop in Albany, NY and he shared with me so enthusiastically his heritage wheat pasta. It's freshly made in Vermont. It's their vegan gnochetti sardi. Can't wait to try it for dinner.

Happy National Personal Chef Day!
Thanks to all the other veg chefs out there shopping, schlepping, and cooking! I appreciate that you make compassionate food for your clients! Don't ever let anyone say you are less than because you don't cook animals! 💚 Cristina

Goodbye NotMilk!
(My very last carton I stashed away when they disappeared from stores)

You and I had a fun times! Sometimes you were good for me (baking vegan milk bread!), sometimes not so good if I was avoiding sugar. You'll be missed.I hope something else will come along that tastes like you!

A vegan Asian necessity! I've bought the smaller allergen-free vegan Kewpie mayo squeezie bottle but this was just such a good deal!

I received the @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social catalog and the January cover had this Big & Bubbly Focaccia! It's the Recipe of the Year for 2025! Boy,it's good - I made it twice in one week! It calls for a special pan but I just used a cast iron skillet.

I saw this stellar soup by Liz @zardyplants.bsky.social and finally made it! I found Jovial Goods GF rice stars and it turned out great, especially since this recipe uses 2 of my fav items: soy curls and better than bouillon no chicken base!

Anyone using this D3 + K2 from Costco? I got it for the hubby as he was using Doctor's Best vegan D3 and their algal DHA. I've been using Wholier for almost 2 years and like it.
