There has been one resolution that I have been faithful to. It's been 744 days since my last cup of coffee. I decided to give up coffee because I was becoming dependent on it. I was never really a big coffee drinker and when I started working from home I didn't drink it at all. … Continue reading Giving up Coffee
2017 Goals
One of my goals for this coming year (like every year) is to write more here. I tend to write a bunch of drafts and never feel like they are good enough to actually publish. But, I'm going to try to start writing anything, even if it's a post saying that I don't want to … Continue reading 2017 Goals
DC Vegfest 2016
The DC Vegfest is one of my absolute favorite events. It's huge and there are so many local and big name companies there.
Vendy Awards 2016
[Warning, this post is image heavy!] This past weekend was the Vendy Awards on Governer's Island in NY. I love the Vendy's. I went for the first time in 2014 when I won VIP tickets, and I've been going (VIP style) ever since.

What I Learned at my First Protest
Last week, I went to protest the use of animals for entertainment, specifically in the Ringling Brothers Circus. It was my first time going to such a gathering, actually I don't think I've ever been to any event that had protesters at it at all. I was nervous, yet excited. I had planned to go last … Continue reading What I Learned at my First Protest
Raw Review: Root – Lancaster, PA
Last weekend, I finally made it to Root, a semi-new vegan restaurant in Lancaster. I wanted to check it out as soon as it opened, but I kept putting it off, basically because it's in Lancaster and I never really wanted to battle 5 o'clock traffic during the week into the city, and on the weekends I … Continue reading Raw Review: Root – Lancaster, PA
Thanksgiving Meal Ideas {vegan}
Thanksgiving can be a really fun or really stressful holiday for vegans. While Thanksgiving is about family and giving thanks, 46 million turkeys are raised just to be slaughtered for this one day. Not to mention the number of undercover videos and charges of animal abuse exposing huge companies like Butterball. I try my best to … Continue reading Thanksgiving Meal Ideas {vegan}
Recipe: Easy Pumpkin Pie
Pies used to intimidate me. Baking them that is. You have to worry about the crust and the filling. It has to be the right consistency and some have special baking instructions... This pumpkin pie is a breeze to throw together and is practically foolproof. It's not overly sweet (you can add a bit more … Continue reading Recipe: Easy Pumpkin Pie
Recipe: Cranberry Orange Mini Loaf
This is one of my favorite bread recipes. It's sweet and tart, and the citrus gives it a great fresh flavor. I've made it with orange juice and extract for the longest time but just tried it with bits of pineapple and pineapple juice and I think it's my new favorite. I've included substitutions for … Continue reading Recipe: Cranberry Orange Mini Loaf

Homemade cranberry sauce is so simple to make and it tastes a million times better than that weird gelatinous cranberry-HFCS mixture that comes out of a can. Do yourself a favor and give this one a try! Homemade Cranberry Sauce Cook time: 15 mins Total time: 15 mins Ingredients 12 oz cranberries 1 cup pineapple … Continue reading Recipe: Cranberry Sauce
