Xmas is on it's way...

...and I have yet to barely think about what I'm making!!! Right now, all I know for sure is that I'm doing roasted red potatoes with rosemary, field roast, macaroons, and cookies! I still need to think about making a few more side-dishy type things. I'll get back to you soon and let you know what the final outcome is.

In other news, everyone at the cafe I manage got me a gift for xmas. They adopted two turkeys from Farm Sanctuary for me, Echo and Phoenix! You too can adopt a turkey by going to www.adoptaturkey.org. Farm Sanctuary is a great organization and facility doing A LOT of good for the animals! I just won tickets at the Humane League of Philadelphia's fundraiser holiday event to stay for a weekend this summer. I can't wait!!





Here's a photo of Echo...




and Phoenix



Thanks Amy, Rebecca and Leslie!!!

Should have a new podcast out soon, I swear! Also, if you're on twitter please vote for me in the Shorty Awards for the food category. We need a vegan to represent at the acceptance ceremony, where I'll have the opportunity to speak for the animals in only 140 characters? What should I say when I win??

    Aww, I don't know how anyone could think that turkeys are ugly, especially based on those adorable pictures! Congrats on the adoption, it's such a great cause. :)

    Happy holidays!

Krony 2012

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it’s probable that you are at least remotely aware of the video that’s been sweeping the nation, Kony 2012 .  Produced and released by the nonprofit, Invisible Children (IC), the film is clearly compelling and has an almost hypnotic vibe to it.  The video does an excellent job at persuading the unthinking youth of the US with vivid images, emotional storytelling, techno music, and colorful Kony 2012 kits that come complete with signs and bracelets.  For only a few bucks a month, you can feel like you’re making even more of a difference for this tremendous cause, which over 77 million people have tuned into at most recent count. So, who exactly is Kony?  What’s the deal with Invisible Children and is there something we aren’t being told about this cause?  Since the videos release, the have been numerous, credible criticisms of the film.  So many, that the CEO of Invisible Children even released a video to dispute ...

I figured it's been a while since I've posted a recipe, so I decided to share one with you that I just created for the autumn season.  I also have some more recipes to post soon, like Boston Cream Pie, White Bean and Rice Soup, and Butternut Squash Stuffing.  Stay tuned (and subscribe !) for those recipes, among other things.  Also, there will be a new Eating Consciously Podcast episode in the very near future (featuring an interview with TimmyFan !), as well as a piece about communicating with non-vegans over at veganexaminer.com .

More to come!

Hello, to all my faithful readers!  :D   I am writing to let you know that within the next few days, this feed is going to be moving over to my new  Tumblr .  Now, before you freak out, allow me to explain.  I have realized I have not had the time to write long, formal blog posts in recent time, but I noticed I have had time to make short updates on Twitter and Facebook no matter how busy I am.   So, I am moving everything to my new Tumblr, which will allow me to make more frequent posts and cover a wider array of topics than you are currently used to.  That being said, this blog will ALWAYS remain here and you can always reference old posts, recipes, etc.  I think you will be very happy with the new transition and it will give you much more to read and think about!   I wanted to let you know this was going to happen, just so you wouldn't be surprised to see more frequent updates or be confused when eatingconscious...
