10/12 Soy Happy

Soy Happy is an organization that is dedicated to bringing vegetarian fare to large mainstream venues. They have been instrumental in bringing veg fare to MLB parks all across the country and are now setting their sites on the NFL. My friends at Soy Happy believe as I do that if you offer it, people […]

10/11 Seasonal Slaw with Caramelized Honey Crisp Apples

One of the important aspects of helping to share vegan dishes with friends and family is to create flavor and food experiences that are similar to their non-vegan counterparts.  Even if the flavor or texture is a bit different from what someone might typically recognize, I believe that getting them close enough to a known […]

10/10 The Leftover Diner

Happy Meatless Monday. In honor of Canadian Thanksgiving, I have used Canada’s Meatless Monday logo. If I were celebrating Thanksgiving today I would want a heaping plate of all things veg,  so I could truly give thanks for my body, my health and the amazing vitality and peace of mind that comes with eating a […]

10/8 Fine in Moderation

I found a video floating around Facebook yesterday and it made me laugh out loud. It is a parody of one of the High Fructose Corn Syrup touting  commercials launched by the Corn Refiners Association. You know the one where one mommy calls out another over pouring her children glasses of pink liquid made with […]

10/5 Buttermilk Dill Pepper Biscuits

Over the weekend as we were creating the menu for our Meatless Monday Meals to go, I came across  an old recipe that I had clipped out of a magazine for Buttermilk Dill Pepper biscuits.  They sounded like the perfect accompaniment for the Autumnal Butternut Bean Stew, and they would be easy enough to veganize.

10/4 Cloudy With a Chance of Realism

Since becoming vegan we have become food movie aficionados. We have hosted Mind Expanding Movie Nights at our house where we have experienced slaughterhouses, GMO’s, corporate cover ups and greed centered around the food industry.  I have been blown away, shamed and prideful as I have watched these movies with purpose.  Over the weekend we […]

9/29 Dessert & A Movie

Last night we  co-hosted the most exciting event.  Our friend Jo wanted to offer a screening of the movie Forks Over Knives at our local library. We conferred over vegan pizza and decided to call it Dessert & A Movie. Our dream was to fill the room with veg curious friends, neighbors and strangers, feed […]
