This bolognese will bowl you over! It is off.the.charts. And SO easy. I swiped the recipe from one of my absolute favorite go-to’s, Minimalist Baker, and it’s a keeper! I followed the recipe exactly, not always easy for me :), and added a few handfuls of spinach at the very end to get some greens in and it was perfect. Vegan, of course! You cannot tell it’s not ground beef. Now, if you *want* “ground beef”, Read more…
Scrambled my first cheezy omelette since going vegan using Just Egg (it’s made of mung bean) and it was SO GOOD. As a former “I love eggs!” kind of a person, I am more than happy making my tofu scrambles (I’ve never met a tofu scramble I didn’t love), but I had this Just Egg and so figured I’d try is since so many of my friends swear by it. Now I kn0w why. It’s Read more…
Be prepared to eat several at one sitting and not feel guilty! And don’t forget the cup of coffee with plant-based creamer to go with it. Nothing like the aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg filling the house when they’re in the oven. Happy autumn! Prep time: 10 minutes. Cook time: 15 minutes. Makes about 15-18 cookies 1 cup mashed ripe banana 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted 2 1/2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 Read more…
When my neighbor invited me to come pilfer her fig tree, I had to find a way to use them and make something delicious. They are so rich and everyone you share them with will love you forever. SO fun to make and no baking. The kids will love helping with this one! Ingredients COOKIE DOUGH 1/4 cup oats 1 cup raw almonds 1 cup raw pecans 1/4 tsp sea salt 1 1/4 cups Read more…
Yep, you heard right. Watch the vid and find out how Portland’s Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) got them to call off their decades-long annual pig roast for good. Click link below to see the letter I wrote to the Church that prompted an immediate response. Feel free to copy the text and use for outreach to organizations or groups in your community.

The local street news weekly reached out and asked if they could do a story on my work with animal rights. (It helped that the writer was vegan and had seen my work with animals.) This is the first time they have ever done a feature story (or likely any coverage) on animal rights activism. This is significant because speciesism is far from being recognized and acknowledged in other social justice movements. We have a Read more…
I’ve been saying this much less eloquently since the day I went vegan. Does anybody actually believe we’re going to have peace on earth, peace between each other, or peace within ourselves, while we’re, without mercy, and behind closed doors, having others enslave, torture, and violently kill our fellow innocent and vulnerable earthlings who want to live as much as we do because we like the taste? If I didn’t laugh, I’d cry. Dare to Read more…
Watch as I mix it up in the kitchen on JaneUnChained’s LunchBreakLIVE and end up with a super tasty kale dish. This salad is a party in the mouth. Kale, yeah! RECIPE: Krazy Krouton Kale Salad with Garlic Tahini Dressing INGREDIENTS Croutons 2 cups wheat or grain bread, cubed (day old is best) I used fresh Ciabotta rolls and they were delish 1/4 cup olive oil (or a little less) 1/4 tsp each garlic Read more…
We were able to reach a lot of hearts and minds by showing people footage of the reality of what is happening to animals on factory farms, which is 99% of the animal agriculture. It is such an effective way to impact people and get them thinking about how,by eating meat and dairy, they are contributing to the violence that they are so clearly disgusted and disturbed by. Since most won’t go out of their way Read more…
