We don’t usually keep faux meats in our house. It’s not because we don’t like them. I don’t have anything against them either. We just usually prefer whole food ingredients. During our transition into veganism, however, we relied on faux meats pretty heavily. I think they’re great for a quick, convenient meal and totally perfect [...]

Photo by Angela Liddon When I first became vegan, there were a handful of blogs that helped me get my start in the vegan kitchen. Oh She Glows was one of them. I was instantly drawn to Angela’s upbeat, totally relatable personality and every recipe of hers I tried was delicious and completely foolproof. After I [...]

On this blog, I’ve often discussed why Chris and I are into energy/protein bars. To recap: Chris is the type that forgets to eat and also often works in areas where he does not have access to vegan food. Carrying a protein bar around is a great way for him to refuel when he realizes [...]

Who likes getting their picture taken? Yeah, me not so much. When the publisher mentioned that they would need a headshot for publicity purposes as well as for the book, I panicked a little. True, I could send them the one I already had. The one that’s okay. The one that I spent about 10 minutes [...]

When I first went vegan, I spent so much time and money searching for vegan and cruelty-free replacements for my make-up and other grooming items. I suffered many a break-out trying new make-ups and there are still several bottles of hair stuff in my bathroom that I tired and didn’t like. If only Vegan Cuts [...]

As much as I prefer fresh, whole foods, Chris and I tend to keep a good stock of vegan meal bars in our house.  I always have one in my purse to prevent crazy hypoglycemic episodes.  Chris has one before his workout every morning and always carries one or two just in case he can’t [...]

When I first be came vegan, I made a promise to myself to not be one of those smoothie-drinking hippie vegans.  Guess what?  I totally broke that promise (not long after I made the promise in the first place). Fast forward to now when smoothies are a part of my regular diet.  Usually, I’ll make [...]

When I first became vegan, I began scouring the internet looking for vegan recipes and replacements for favorite non-vegan treats.  Fork & Beans was one of the first blogs I found (a simple “Vegan Nutter Butters” search on Google led me right to her) and I was mesmerized by all of the amazing dairy-free, egg-free, [...]

Sometimes, a really good chocolate can be better than anything (yes, even that). There is something about a smooth, rich, piece of dark chocolate- the way its scent teases your nose, the way it snaps when you bite into it, the way it melts on your tongue,  and the way everything else around you seems [...]

Look at those waffles.  They look absolutely decadent, do they not? As Chris was photographing them, he kept saying “I’m going to gain 100 pounds with this breakfast, aren’t I?” If I didn’t know better, I would probably think that too.  These waffles are absolutely incredible!  The waffles are like a cross between brownies and [...]
