Last night as I was perusing my new LARABAR Fall Newsletter I saw that they had partnered with Green America for project Green Halloween. Among other details, they were of course recommending that you hand out LARABAR minis to your trick-or-treaters. Andy yes, I would don a costume for that. Okay, I’ll bite, what […]

I have always loved Fig Newtons. Their sponge cake meets shortbread attitude and unapologetic lack of sweetness have captivated me since childhood. I have loved them long before I knew a fig was a fruit. I thought it was a filling. A few days ago I purchased what looked like a small suitcase of fresh […]

Happy Meatless Monday. In July I shared that I had found a new vegan dog food by Halo pet foods. Here is a link to the original post. In the past I had given quite a bit of thought to switching Chloe to a vegan diet but frankly, was nervous. I don’t know anything about […]

Last night I read the most gratifying article from VegNews online. It was an article talking about why for the first time since World War II, meat consumption is on a steady decline.

As a culinary instructor, blog writer and food demonstrator, I am frequently asked about whether or not I consume or avoid soy and soy products. When I first went vegan, my sister sent me countless articles about why I should never, ever eat soy. I have to admit, because of the onslaught of conflicting information […]

Happy Meatless Monday. I love breakfast. Breakfast welcomes you to the day, it energizes your sleepy body and feeds your brain so you can be inspired and effective. One of the most common questions I have heard since becoming vegan has been, “If you don’t eat eggs, then what do you eat for breakfast?” It is […]
