When I first went vegan eight years ago I didn’t know anyone vegan or even vegetarian. I initially went vegan to improve my health after reading Alicia Silverstone’s book, The Kind Diet, which I highly recommend.

The month of September proved to be quite a good vegan foodie find month. It happened haphazardly, but nonetheless it was quite easy. I will probably keep saying this till the day I die, but if I hear one more person tell me that Dallas isn’t vegan friendly. I tell ya what, I’d rather be […]

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 […]
