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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I have begun to count the days until the Sasha Farms Animal Sanctuary Annual Vegan Chili Cook-off. Sasha Farms is the closest farm animal sanctuary to us. The chili cook off/fun day is one of the few times you can stroll through the farm meeting the animals and spending time on the land they call […]

During the fifteen day juice fast, many of you inquired about my juicer of choice. At that time, my broken juicer was barely hanging on and I was researching new juicers. After all the searching, reading and comparing, I decided that I was most inclined to the Omega brand. They have several different varieties of […]

Happy Meatless Monday. I have the most insanely delicious energy bar recipe to share with you. It takes only minutes to prepare an entire pan of them, they will keep indefinitely in the freezer and they taste like Blondie brownies. They are good enough to plan a run or any exercise around. They could encourage […]
