Last night a friend came to town for the holidays. He happens to be a fan of the blog, and has recently gone vegan! So it was extra fun to see him now that we share the same diet, and to commemorate this, we decided to cook a healthy vegan meal at his parents’ house. […]
In case you missed the headlines yesterday there was some big news about vegetarian diets floating around the internet. New research has just shown that believe it or not a vegetarian diet is actually WORSE for the environment than a meat-eating diet!

This last weekend, me and a few friends piled into a car and took a road trip to Chicago. The trip itself was tons of fun, but I wanted to write specifically about what it’s like to be on the road as a vegan. I think there is a common misconception that vegans are all […]

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, even as a vegan! It’s a celebration of food, and who doesn’t love food? Some of you might think, “vegans. Vegans hate food and eat like rabbits.” Not true.

I always grew up loving Thanksgiving. I think I was a foodie before that was ever a “thing.” So for me it was an easy choice to have Thanksgiving as a favorite holiday. I think I liked the simplicity of it. You knew what it was about. A meal and people you love. Simple. And […]
