Since becoming vegan, I can honestly say that I have not missed any non-vegan foods. I have, however, often wished that my favorite cookie, French macaroons, were vegan. I’ve not missed them. I’ve just been bummed that there were no vegan versions. Well, I am bummed no more! Feel Good Desserts has created vegan French … Continue reading »
I love raw food, but I never venture to make it myself because it’s just not that familiar to me. For me, it feels very strict without much room for leeway (changing the recipe/messing up). So I mostly stick to what’s familiar to me. Amber Shea Crawley is a raw foods chef who actually shows … Continue reading »
Awhile back, Alicia Silverstone did a post about her top 20 ingredients she couldn’t live without. Soon after, Cadry shared her list and Bobbie shared hers. Because list-making is one of my most favorite things in the world, I couldn’t pass this opportunity up to make a list of things my vegan kitchen is never … Continue reading »
When Dianne Wenz, Veggie Girl herself, contacted me to do a review of Nut Butter Universe, Robin Robertson‘s newest cookbook, I could not say no. Nut butters are probably one of my most favorite ingredients in my kitchen so an entire cookbook revolving around them sounded like a fantastic opportunity. I’m sure that for most … Continue reading »

I was recently approached to try a new brand of vegan ice cream in hopes that I would write a review about it. My response: You don’t have to threaten me with a good time! Diane, the owner and creator of Divine Dips Vegan Ice Creme, actually met up with me to give me a … Continue reading »
I like the physical act of eating food and I like to do intense work-outs daily. It is for these two reasons that I have never considered myself a juice cleanse kind of person. I like drinking juices, especially if they’re green, but the thought of juice being my only source of energy both depressed … Continue reading »

It’s a vegan potluck, consisting over over 100 bloggers, each sharing one dish virtually (online). Last May’s VVP was such … Continue reading »

I am so excited! The Walk For Farm Animals is just a little over 2 weeks away! Between Jackie, myself, Chris, and the twins, we have raised $445! That means me are only $55 away from our goal of $500. If 11 super-kind people donated $5 each, we would reach our goal, not that I’m … Continue reading »

A question I get from my family often is “Don’t you miss (insert type of animal-based food here)?” I always tell them that I do not miss (type of animal food) and I crave new things now. These days, instead of my old stand-by snack of apple slices and cottage cheese, I really love a … Continue reading »
Today is the one year anniversary of when Chris and I became vegan! I talked before about our vegan journey and how it is, aside form marrying each other, the best decision either of us have ever made, but I am realizing now that this choice is one of the things I am most proud … Continue reading »
When I was younger, my grandparents used to take all of us grandkids on huge camping trips every summer. These camping trips hold some of my fondest memories of my cousins. There was a large rock in the middle of the lake and we all had the goal to be able to climb up on … Continue reading »
Before we joined our CSA, we stuck to buying the same fruits and vegetables, week after week. Even at the farmer’s market, if I had time to go, I knew which items I wanted and stuck to those. I didn’t bother trying to learn what those “mystery greens” or what that “unidentifiable tubular-shaped vegetable” was. … Continue reading »
Growing up, my mom and I would make cookies from one of those pre-made Pillsbury “Chocolate Chip Flavored” Cookie Dough rolls. We would make them in the evening and by the next morning (after I ate the last couple for breakfast), they were all gone. This is due to the fact that we would leave … Continue reading »
Last November, I saw this video, showing a group of beagles, rescued from a lab, setting foot on grass for the first time in their lives. It was one of the most moving moments I have ever seen and I sobbed uncontrollably for about half an hour. I then began to research ARME and their Beagle … Continue reading »
