Twas The Night Before V-Day

Well, it’s official.  Tomorrow is V-day.  For the next year I will cast aside all animal products to embrace a healthier and more compassionate way of life.  I am looking at the coming change with excitement, anticipation and a slight bit of trepidation.  I have the support of family, friends and vegans everywhere.  One of my friends has even signed on [...]

Anticipation

It was really nice to get a chance to relax this weekend.  There was not one day last week when I didn’t have to be somewhere.  I made the most of my downtime by trying out some vegan recipes from The New Farm Cookbook by Louise Hagler and Dorothy Bates.   I have had this cookbook for [...]
