25 years. That’s how long it’s been since I’ve eaten a burger from a fast food chain…until today. Carl’s Jr. just announced their new “Beyond Famous Star” burger made with the popular vegan Beyond Burger. When ordered without cheese and mayo, it’s fully vegan! So you better believe I hopped in the car with my hubby…
At 55 years old, elementary school teacher Karen Brockway got a serious wake-up call. After a half-century of eating meat, dairy, and lots of junk food, she got news from her doctor that shook her to the core. Karen’s doctor told her that she was at extremely high risk of developing pancreatic cancer. She was told…
The idea of becoming a vegan wasn’t difficult for me until I had to confront the fact that I was giving up cheese. I really loved cheese. And yogurt. And ice cream. Okay… I loved pretty much all the dairy. I’d been vegetarian since the age of eight, but I could hardly imagine life without my…
“Say whaaaat? Vegan dog food? Now that’s taking things too far.” “That’s straight-up animal abuse!” “I’m calling PETA.” These are the kinds of things I hear whenever I share that I feed my dog Chance vegan dog food. Chance is 13 years old and thriving, and he’s been eating a plant-based diet for more than…
So, we know what you’re thinking: I would be vegan, but there’s no Whole Foods near me. I can’t afford to be vegan. My local supermarket just doesn’t carry enough vegan-friendly products for me to be a full-time vegan. Friends, that’s a bunch of nonsense. It’s almost 2019, and the scope of vegan-friendly options that…
At just 24 years old, Raul Medina was already struggling with fatigue, mental fogginess, weight, high cholesterol, and pre-diabetes. He assumed, like so many do, that his health destiny was written in his genes. Raul’s mom had Type 2 diabetes, so he thought it was likely he would one day suffer from that too. Raul didn’t have health…

A vegan Zentangle? Oh yes, we did. Zentangles are all the rage these days. Adult coloring books are lining shelves in even the most unlikely places, like… the grocery store? Yup. I’ve seen it. And to tell you the truth, I’m not at all surprised. As a species, we’ve worked ourselves into such a frenzy…
Let’s be real. Most people aren’t partnered with someone who is perfectly aligned with every single thought and belief and worldview. And really, who wants that? Diversity in thought and experience is so important, and being with someone who can challenge you is far from a curse. My hubby has been vegan for more than…
Hope you had a phenomenal Thanksgiving! I had my family over for a delicious plant-based meal. My very non-vegan uncle made the most epic squash dish which totally out-shined the Field Roast, my usual Thanksgiving fave. And my dad got to meet my birth father for the very first time! Now, the morning after, Black…
