C'est La Vegan

If you’re anything like me, you spend many a night standing in front of the cabinets or fridge trying to figure out what the heck to make for dinner.  After a long day, the last thing I want to do is cook, but you can only have cereal for dinner so many nights before it [...]

I’ve been wanting to do a post about green smoothies for a while, and I was way overdue for shooting a new video, so I figured I’d tackle both at once!  With the New Year upon us and so many people making resolutions to eat a more healthy diet, I thought I’d show you guys [...]

UPDATE: The winner of the Earth Balance coupons is Debby, who said – I love the spread, better than butter, actually. I’m looking forward to trying your other products too.  Congratulations, Debby! As you can see from the video above, I’m a huge fan of Earth Balance buttery spread.  It’s a great substitute for butter, [...]

Do you guys know about Meatless Mondays?  If you’re one of my non-vegan readers, you may not have heard of this campaign, but it’s becoming more and more mainstream, and now even Oprah is in on it.  I’ve been wanting to start a Meatless Monday feature on the blog for a while now, and I’m [...]

UPDATE:  The winner of the Food Fight! tote bag is Angela, who said… “I have been dreaming of visiting Portland for years, moreso every time I hear of awesome vegan places there (like Herbivore and Food Fight!) I think I might have to hit up the doughnuts first!” ___ And the winner of the necklace [...]

Our friends, Jason and Marion, have been going through a really rough time with their newborn son, Clayton.  Little Clay had open heart surgery a couple weeks ago, and he just went through another surgery yesterday to have a pace-maker installed. It’s been a pretty emotional roller coaster ride for his parents (to say the [...]

This edition of C’est La Video takes us to the Angeles National Forest for a vegan s’mores filled camping trip, which means it’s the perfect time to talk about vegan marshmallows!  It might seem strange to think that something like a marshmallow wouldn’t be vegan, but they normally contain gelatin, which is far from being [...]

This installment of Vegan 101 is all about vegetable broth, which I know might not sound that exciting, but bear with me here.  I love vegetable broth because it has the power to turn a chicken broth-laden dish into one that’s totally vegetarian.  For us veg-heads, that’s pretty exciting! Even if you’re not vegetarian, you [...]

For today’s installment of Vegan 101, I want to introduce you to one of the greatest vegan products out there: Follow Your Heart’s Vegenaise!  If you’re vegan, you probably already love this stuff, and if you’re not, you need to try it to taste for yourself how amazing it is.  I like the reduced fat version, [...]

Bacon, I love you, but you’re bringing me down. The next installment in my Vegan 101 series is all about one of my past  loves – bacon.  I’d go as far as calling myself a former addict, but these smokey tempeh strips get me through the cravings without having to eat the Babe stuff.  There are [...]

Back in January when we decided to re-design the blog, one of the reasons we did so was to be able to include videos on the site, and I’m thrilled to announce that they’re finally here! Part of the catalyst for my finally starting this video series came earlier this summer when I was speaking [...]
