Winter

The weather is changing from fall to winter. I woke up to a snow covered lawn and roof tops. Every year, I marvel at the first snowfall and then HATE it when it is nearing March. Oh, how we take things for granted so often. Every year, over 15 million turkeys die at Thanksgiving alone!!! That is CRAZY!  Have you ever really "gave thanks" on Thanksgiving? I mean, why do we celerbrate by eating a slaghtered bird, saying grace, and leaving it at that? Thanksgiving is more then food, more then football it's about giving thanks. And I know, that by being vegan, turkeys will be saying "thanks" to you. Happy Thanksgiving guys!

McDonalds

The Southwest Salad at McDonalds is delicious. Without, the meat and cheese of course! :) The Chili Lime Tortilla Strips are spicy and add flavor. It comes with corn and beans and fresh vegies, its pretty good. Especially, for 4.99.

wow!

I read this the other day. "Whats the difference between a vegan and vegetarian?" Vegetarianism is a diet, veganism, is a lifestyle. Wow, this hit me hard. I thought about this, it made me feel that what I'm doing, is worth it, and I'm hoping it makes you guys feel the same way.

MMmm! YUM!

I didn't feel like a vegan at all today. For Breakfast: I had a everything bagel with "butter!" YUM!!! For Lunch:  Another Bagel with lettuce and onion. Dinner: Taco Bell! Pintos and Chips! :) Yum!

I LOVE Earth Balance "Butter"

I LOVE Earth Balance Buttery Spread! It's awesome! I swear, I can't tell the difference between butter and the vegan imposter. It's SO good, and has 0 grams of cholesterol per serving! So, feel free to load it up on baked patatoes, toast, and bagels.

I am a Vegan

I am a vegan. That means I avoid 5 things, meat, milk, eggs, honey, and everything with these ingredients. When you look at the benefits, skipping out on all these things is worth it. When I went vegan, I thought I would miss 2 things BADLY, cheese and ranch dressing. I rarely, miss these things, although I just want a piece of chicken bacon artichoke pizza SO bad sometimes! But, I get over it, :) and love  being vegan. C'mon guys, try it with me, go vegan!

Hi My fellow Vegan Friends!

I was inspired to go vegan because of the animals and the health benefits.

I have been vegan for almost 3 weeks.

Want to indulge?

My jaw dropped when I figured out that a favorite junk food of mine is vegan! Oreo's!!! Yes, it's true Americas Fave Cookie is vegan! Oreo's + Soy/Almond milk = a yummy treat!

Dont feel bad, your saving the animals! (And being super healthy also!)

I know, I know it's hard to ask! "Does this contain dairy?" or "Is this vegan?" The other day, I asked if their pizza dough was vegan. I got "Wait, whats vegan?" "Is that like gluten free?" Sometimes, I want to SCREAM!!! I wish I didn't have asked. But, I really do encourage you to ask if that food your eating is vegan, because its worth it!
