New York City: Days 3 and 4
Saturday morning was another delicious breakfast made by Emma– sweet quinoa with pecans and dried apricots. Yum! Emma had to work again and Gwen had gone back to New Haven on Friday (to return on Saturday afternoon), so I headed uptown to visit my dad where he was staying with some good friends at 207th […]
New York City: Day 2
On Friday, I got up early and ate a delicious breakfast that Emma made for Gwen and me of steel-cut oatmeal with grilled bananas and apples, cinnamon, vanilla and pecans. It was delightful! I headed to the conference, which was on NYU’s campus. A cute little food market on the way: The conference, called Animal […]
Roasted Winter Vegetables
Sometimes one-pot meals can be a real life saver. This one is so easy, warming, filling, and delicious. You can use whichever vegetables you have lying around. And for protein, you can chop up a couple of field roast sausages of your choice and toss them in with the vegetables. The other great thing about […]
Week in Review: Keeping a Routine

However, dealing with the death of someone in your life seems to maybe be tempered a bit by continuing a familiar routine and reminding those around you to continue a routine–continuing to […]

There are just over two weeks until the walk on October 23rd and I’m determined to reach my goal to help formerly farmed animals at Farm Sanctuary. Particularly after […]
Dairy Cows Slaughtered to Drive Up Milk Prices
Last week, there was a bit of a media flurry about a very significant lawsuit against Cooperatives Working Together (CWT), an organization of many of the big dairy companies (including Land O Lakes). Filed by Seattle law firm Hagans Berman Sogol Shapiro, the suit accuses California dairy producers of slaughtering 500,000 healthy dairy cows in […]
Not-Chicken Noodle Soup
Chickens were one of the first animals we stopped eating when Eric and I decided to transition to a vegetarian (and eventually vegan) lifestyle. It made sense; we had chickens living in our backyard and so our personal connection to these animals was much more tangible than to other farmed animals. Quickly this transitioned to […]

Vegan Shopping 101: Thrift Stores
Thrift shopping is a great way to find unique and gently used clothing and other items. Not only can you get some great finds that you couldn’t find elsewhere, thrift shopping is also a way to reuse clothing and resources that have already been produced. Many of the mainstream retail stores use sweatshop labor to produce their […]
