Does cross contamination on a grill make something “not vegan”?
Many restaurants are adopting vegan options on their menu, which is a great thing for those following a plant-based diet and/or vegan lifestyle. While it matters how these products are prepared, does it matter if they share the same grill when it comes to the vegan label? The news is full of articles about complaints […]
Swedish store Felix pricing food products based on climate impact
All food products have an impact on the environment, and they are responsible for about 1/4 of worldwide carbon emissions. However, in almost all cases animal agriculture and other animal products have a larger impact on the environment than plant-based ones. A grocery store in Sweden is now pricing its products to reflect that impact. […]
How to peel garlic easily, and fast
If you struggle to peel garlic, you are not alone. I use many cloves of garlic in my meals. And I also grow over 800 bulbs of it yearly, so I have a lot of garlic to deal with! (Although, I have replanted a lot of that garlic so far). The garlic I grow has […]
Can you get omega 3’s on a vegan diet? How you can get ALA, DHA, and EPA from non-animal sources
The notion that you cannot obtain omega 3 fatty acids on vegan diet is simply false. This is supported by well established and accepted scientific literature that will be linked for your review below. Why is this even a question? Celebrity Miley Cyrus claimed that she was abandoning a veganism (or more likely a plant-based […]
Spicy Salsa Verde recipe that’s not-so-verde (Vegan, Oil free)
I am growing tomatillos this year in the garden, so have a lot that are starting to ripen and are ready for making a bunch of different recipes. Salsa verde is a classic recipe for tomatillos, so this is one of the first things I made using them. Tomatillos are a tangy distant cousin of […]
Oil free Vegan Kale Pesto recipe (SOS-Free option, sunflower seed base)
I love to use a nice and dense pesto that is rich in flavor for sandwiches, mixed into salads, with pasta, or in many other applications. Rich in flavor, and full of nutrients, it’s useful adding some variety to your plant based diet. This oil free vegan kale pesto fits that bill perfectly. This pesto […]
Plant Based Diet Definition: What being “plant based” means according to leading experts and organizations
There is a lot of confusion about what a plant based diet is, and what food it includes. People ask: is a “plant based diet” primarily plants and some animal proteins, or all plants. There isn’t a centralized page or official organization to find a definition; therefore, we have to look to where and how […]
Subway releasing vegan meatball sandwich in remaining restaurant locations
Subway ran a trial for a new sandwich that includes vegan meatballs earlier this year in August at select restaurants in Canada, USA, and in other international locations. This temporary trial addition to their menu included meatballs and marinara sauce in their sandwich, with cheese included (if you are not ordering it vegan). It sounds […]
Will donuts and Vegan Steak Bakes launch at Greggs soon? Current state of sightings, rumours, and leaks
Despite not living in the UK, news about the convenience chain called Greggs enters my newsfeeds quite regularly. Drool worthy posts for the most part. Newsfeed appearances started with a vegan sausage roll offered by the chain that omnivores claimed tasted better than the meat version. And now Greggs has a bunch of new products […]
Veganuary is coming soon, and to the USA
We are going to start posting news, events, and more on this site that is relevant to plant-based eating and the vegan lifestyle. One of the biggest ongoing events is Veganuary, where people pledge to eat a vegan diet for the month of January (and hopefully continue after learning how easy, compassionate, and healthful this […]
Vegan Mushroom Oyster Sauce recipe (Oil Free, Low Fat)
Oyster Sauce is a common ingredient in many Asian dishes, but I have never seen a vegan version of the sauce available at the store (there does seem to be some available online, but contains additives and very expensive!) It’s very easy to make a healthy version at home with whole ingredients that you can […]
