Based on my my Instagram account (https://www.instagram.com/katmossmendenhall/), I ate a lot of delicious food last month. It was a good balance of eating out and my own darn cooking. Therefore, my list of the best things I ate out in July includes a few more entries this month. Let’s jump straight in. It’s no secret […]

I love when time allows me to get creative in the kitchen. Even more, I love when that creativity produces something magical. It doesn’t always happen y’all so I take pride when it does. I was inspired to make this when I ran across a non-vegan version on Pinterest. I used what ingredients I had […]

This Sunday I took a walk over to the Dallas Farmers Market. The market has changed from the market I grew up with and gathered my seasonal produce from as an adult. Long gone the rows of vendors with their fresh off the farm unloaded from the back of their trucks goods. If you missed […]

I have a friend that keeps me on my toes. You know the kind, not one, but three steps ahead of everyone else. She runs circles around me in business, her creative radar is permanently set to “on”, and gets any job completed at the speed of lightening. She is a force to be reckoned […]

The list this month is a little on the “meh” side. Due to two ten-day trips to NewYork with one week home in-between, I didn’t have the chance or stomach to eat out often back in Dallas. Let it be known though, while in New York, I ate all the vegan food. If you want […]

I have a confession…I’m a no frills, no fuss, and fast vegan cook, the majority of the time. Why? Because TIME! I’d love to make my own cheese, dressings, sauce, seitan, etc., but planning, prepping, and wrapping my head around all that is way more than this vegan entrepreneur can handle at the moment. So […]

Take this as a friendly reminder, Father’s Day is this coming Sunday. Time to give old dad some time and appreciation. I’m fortunate that my dad, after experiencing a serious health crisis a year a go, is still around. In fact, seeing him go through such a crisis with a positive attitude and determination makes me […]
Continue ReadingTHE BEST THINGS I ATE OUT IN MAY
I’ve had several discussions recently about the availability of vegan options at restaurants in and around Dallas. The tune of the discussion has definitely changed from one of far and few between to an abundance of choices. Thus the reason for this on-going monthly post. I’m often surprised to hear that it’s hard to eat-out […]

I’m thrilled to welcome Janice Miller to my blog. Janice is a veterinarian and founder of the Franklin Animal Rescue Society. She is proud to write for Safetytoday.org. […]
