This post is “part 1″ of an Easter post. I was going to give you savory and sweet recipes all in one post – plus Easter Egg Hunt ideas, but it was shaping up to be far too long. So, today we talk about dessert recipes for Easter, as well as ideas for your vegan… Continue Reading

Everyday Superhero: A book for kids of ALL abilities
I have something special to share with you today. A children’s book that is particularly unique and heartfelt, and written by a fellow Canadian mom, Stefania Moffatt. I have known Stefania for quite a few years. She was one of my readers of my blog and books early on in my career. She was one… Continue Reading
Reasons to Stop Eating Dairy
For 2013, why not do the one single thing that can have a huge impact on your health – DITCH dairy! When I got dairy out of my diet, it made the biggest difference in how I felt. At twenty my joints hurt, and my knees in particular were so stiff some days that it… Continue Reading
Sugar-Free Vegan Caramel Apples
Pumpkinfest continues today with a sweet treat for Halloween (and while technically there’s no pumpkin in this recipe, it is entirely pumpkin-related!) Did you love caramel and candy apples as a kid? I sure did, though as a juvenile junk-food-junkie, I opted to eat the caramel or candy – but leave the apple behind (so… Continue Reading
Plant-Powered Kids: Protein Sources For Vegan Children
It is the ubiquitous vegan question… where do you get your protein? And, even if you’ve been vegan for years and have been comfortable (as you should) with your protein intake on a whole-foods vegan diet, once you have children the stakes are different. Now, you are making the decision for another human being that… Continue Reading
Feeding Vegan Children: A Plant-Powered Series

For the most part, I like to keep them anonymous so that… Continue Reading

Bunk Beds, Blueberry Muffins, and One Cat Sitting Pretty
Occasionally I write non-food posts. Yet, somehow food is often still connected. I guess that’s true of anything in life. Food IS connected to just about everything we do. Like bunk beds. You might think food has little to do with them. Ahhh, but I have a story. See, we moved house back in December…. Continue Reading
Yes, Vegan Women DO Get Wrinkles
This past week I did a brief interview for Care2.com, about vegan parenting. With some of the controversy that arose with the “Vegan Is Love” book, I was asked a few questions. They posted the piece yesterday. Today I read this comment that was posted to the article. This person said: “What I have noticed… Continue Reading
A Story of Vegan Friendship, Gratitude, and one beautiful Quilt
Yesterday I was plucking away at my keyboard when the doorbell rang. I thought “ugh, another door solicitation”, because we’ve had a lot of that lately. I make my way to the door to find a box. Thought it might be a gift for our daughter, as it was her birthday last week – but… Continue Reading
