If you are looking for an interesting, funky, fun, and flavorful holiday present this year, consider giving the gift of chocolate.
Verē Chocolate recently sent me a lovely sample of their vegan chocolates to review.  In awe, and honestly a bit of trepidation, we tried their unique flavors.  We’ve been enjoying them slowly, which has been [...]

Continuing on the theme of thankfulness, here are my top 10 reasons (in no particular order) why I am thankful my family is vegan:

No worries about animal product illnesses (Mad Cow, Bird Flu, etc.).  If you do eat meat, make sure yours is never undercooked!
No worries about more serious diet-induced diseases such as cancer, diabetes, [...]

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 [...]

Development of the HHS’s and the USDA’s new Dietary Guidelines for Americans is underway for a release of 2010.  These guidelines are reissued every 5 years.  Since many of us health conscious people are disappointed in the 2005 (current) guidelines, we should be thrilled that they are allowing comments from the public at large (as [...]

Lovin’ Spoonfuls is our favorite restaurant in Tucson, Arizona.  It’s currently the only pure vegetarian (vegan) restaurant in the greater Tucson area — you’d have to go all the way to Phoenix for another all vegan restaurant.  While my family has become really good at navigating “regular” restaurants as well as vegetarian restaurants (which are [...]

FREE Juicer Giveaway
Do Life Right is holding a contest for a FREE Healthy Juicer from Lexen Products.  The Lexen Healthy Juicer enables you to make a wide variety of juice concoctions, including wheatgrass and leafy greens.  From my reading, it appears to be a quite popular and efficient juicer.  I have not used one (yet).  [...]

Due to popular demand from my “Enchilada Casserole” post, here is my Vegan-Friendly Prickly Pear Barbeque Sauce recipe. Once I realized that we were going to be able to get a large harvest of prickly pear fruit this past summer, I started reading up on various things people do with prickly pear fruit. [...]

Yes, I am a vegan and the following information doesn’t apply to vegans. But, I feel it is important information to get out there.
Dairy cheeses aren’t necessarily 100% from cow milk, therefore they aren’t necessarily vegetarian-friendly.
Since many people find it easiest to incorporate a 100% vegan diet over time, you need to [...]

Carrot cake is my absolute favorite kind of cake.  Problem is, I’ve only had one great one since I became vegan (although I’ve tried a bunch).  So, as a birthday surprise my daughters and husband made me a homemade carrot cake.  It was, by far, the best carrot cake I’ve ever tasted.  It is dense [...]

Hip-Hip-Hooray TODAY is World Vegan Day! What does this mean? That you should go vegan for at least this day. Go ahead, make me happy - do it! I did it as a short-term trial and I’ve never looked back!
We had a very enjoyable Halloween yesterday. Since my Halloween post last [...]
