My husband used to really like Chicken Cordon Bleu before we decided to be a vegan family. I recently saw Silk cream at the store and thought to try and make a vegan version of this old favorite. Upon first bite, Greg stopped and muttered, “Wow, this is good.” Second and third bites and all [...]

I’ve been asked the above question. Specifically about dairy and eggs, but I’ll extend it to meat, bugs, and honey as well.
As Radical Unschoolers, we’ve promised our children they can make these types of decisions for themselves. Does this mean we leave them to fend for themselves? Not hardly. We’re there [...]

I’ve had several people tell me recently that they can always tell who are vegetarians/vegans and who are omnivores in a crowd due to the people’s complexions. I can, too. However, I’m usually 90% accurate and they are usually <1% accurate.
Does changing to a vegan diet affect complexion? The answer is an [...]
