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 […]

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 […]

Hi my name is Kat and I’m a cook book-aholic. I admit it. Raise your hand if you fall into this group. Yes, I see you…there, and over there. The addiction is so strong, my heavy weighted bookshelves are begging for relief. Cook books even overflow to the laundry room, where they’re stacked high upon […]

This past weekend, I helped wrap up the Texas Vegan Tour by hosting an open house and fundraiser. Renee King-Sonnen of https://rowdygirlsanctuary.org/ and her guest Jane Velez-Mitchell of https://janeunchained.com/ , made their way across a half of dozen Texas cities reporting on the vegan scene along the way.

Happy Spring ya’ll. Hope you’re seeing the beginnings of the new season in your neck the woods. That image you’re looking at is my new logo for my shop! How do you like it? It’s a play on my last name, along with my brand philosophy to mend the world through whole plant-based nutrition and cruelty-free products. […]
