Every year when the State Fair of Texas rolls around I get a bit giddy. You’ve probably read about my love and deep roots for the Fair. Sure I get it’s not vegan friendly, but there’s a lot more things to enjoy about our beloved Fair than the food and livestock. Here’s a few of […]

I’ve been working on a little project. I’m pretty excited about it, but it’s a lot of work. It’s forced me to do some cleaning out and organizing some very neglected files.

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 […]

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 […]
