it’s been a while since i’ve written, i know. been pretty busy with the final touches of our website splash page and helping the boyfriend move. contrary to my vegan counterparts, who have both felt that they’ve lost weight this past month, i feel that i’ve gained a couple pounds, or at least lost some [...]

i want miso soup. i want lime tortilla chips. i want a raspberry white chocolate scone, extra crispy, toasted, with 2 little packets of butter. i want an americano breve, not misto. that means with steamed cream, not milk. i think. alas, as much as i am going through what i hope are final withdrawals [...]

i’m not sure if it’s my new hairdo, or the fact that i’ve stopped eating cheese that has resulted in several independent sources commenting on the fact that I look slimmer. bonus!! i don’t own a scale so I wouldn’t have known otherwise, although my pants are fitting a bit better and my bra is [...]

i’m getting to the point where i don’t mind skipping the cream in my americano (the thought doesn’t even appeal to me at this point) and dodging the obviously buttery muffins and scones. but i am starting to get frustrated at not being able to eat things that aren’t supposed to have dairy in them. [...]

i am amazed by how much energy would be saved if more north americans were to eat a plant based diet. the energy used in producing and distributing food accounts for roughly 60% of the total energy north americans use. from shipping, production plants and processing to delivery, packaging and selling. of that 60%, over [...]

yesterday was a whilrwind of excitement. i got up and decided to whip up some blueberry muffins. there is something so comforting about your house filling up with the smell of fresh baked goodness in the oven. they turned out a bit mushy and not quite as great as they smelled, but i’ve eaten probably [...]

We’re starting to find that you have to get really creative to enjoy variety in your diet as a vegan, or work really hard to find suitable substitutions and alternatives. This applies 100 times over to dining out. We’re lucky to have several options in our neighbourhood for this, but when we venture just a [...]

i love how in vancouver when you ask if something is vegan, they have an answer, and have obviously been asked before. it’s a different story out here in the ‘burbs. some people literally don’t know what i’m talking about. ‘what’s Velan’ i was asked by a sweet older man at the bakery. sure is [...]
