Happy Meatless Monday. It is officially cold in Michigan, so I’m ready for comfort food. There was frost worthy of scraping on my windshield this morning. This week we are going Glamping (glamour camping in an RV) for the first time ever. A crazy, adventuresome and generous friend of ours rented a 30 foot RV […]

Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite foods. They are overachievers in that they can be both sweet and savory, decadent and healing. They are bright orange, signifying that they contain an abundance of nutrients and they are so inexpensive. I enjoy them for breakfast in my muffins and for dinner in my lasagna. They […]

I recently picked up the Guide to Veg Living which is a free mini magazine created for Veg For life, a Farm Sanctuary campaign. It is a complimentary, mini magazine that has tips and tricks for the vegan wannabe. Inside I found a recipe for Phenomenal French Toast. I thought…wow, they are really confident about […]

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 […]

Happy Meatless Monday. Every time I use my Crock-pot I marvel at how much it feels like magic. I put in a bunch of liquid, seasonings and raw food, secure the lid, then leave it alone for several hours as it lovingly creates a gourmet meal. Nothing can make meatless, weeknight meals easier than a […]

Yesterday on Babble.com they had the most ingenious post. It was a round-up of meatless recipes for back to school. I decided this sounded like fun and I wanted to play along, so I did the same with some tried and true easy Exploits recipes. I chose ten of my favorite meals that are easy […]

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 […]

Happy Meatless Monday. I have found that making one dish that we can enjoy several times makes it much easier to eat healthy, meatless meals even when I am in the middle of a harried week or weekend. On Saturday in the middle of a seven hour volunteer shift with our animal shelter, I came […]
