More About Me

Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:

I've been vegan for 10 years and prior to that I was a vegetarian for several years. I have always loved animals and felt wrong about eating meat. As soon as I was old enough to make my own decisions I took the plunge and have never looked back.

I joined HappyCow Members Community because:

The best way to find new restaurants, vegan events, vegan clothing etc is through word of mouth. I've been vegan a long time and like sharing what I've learned.

Here are some places I've been that I liked... and places that I would like to visit one day:

My vegan mind was blown away by Italy, particularly Rome, because it was so much easier to find delicious food than I ever would have thought. I ate so much vegan pizza (marina pizzas are on every menu and are already cheeseless), gnocchi, dairy free gelato and wine. Amazing amazing. London, New York and Vancouver were also great places for eating. Australia is on my to do list.

Some of my favorite veg*n foods include:

Oh this is hard. Coco Whip blew my mind (like cool whip but with a hint of coconut flavor), Follow Your Heart Provolone slices make for an amazing grilled cheese, the Earth Balance and Daiya boxed white cheddar mac n' cheeses are amazing with some hot sauce and greens, Gardein Fish Fillets make a mean fish taco.......the list goes on and on

Here are some books, movies, magazines, and my favorites that I would recommend to other HappyCow members:

VegNews is always a lifesaver. Their travel sections have helped me so much. For books I like The 30 Day Vegan Challenge by Colleen Patrick Goudreau and Skinny bitch. My go to cookbooks are Chloe's Kitchen, Vegan a go go by Sarah Kramer, Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World and Thug Kitchen Party Grub.
