Eating Consciously

Since I've been running short on time lately, I thought now would be the perfect opportunity to invite a guest blogger on board. You might remember I interviewed Melanie back in August on Eating Consciously Podcast #13 . I've read the book and I give it five stars all the way! If you haven't pre-ordered it yet, I HIGHLY recommend that you do. Make sure you get a copy not only for yourself, but copies for the carnists in your life as well. Since this is a bit of a lengthy post, I won't take up too much more of your reading time, but I wanted to point out that you might be interested in watching this new two-minute video about the book: and now I'll let Melanie tell you a bit more about the book herself... Like most people, I grew up eating meat. I also grew up with a dog, who was my best friend throughout my childhood. And like most people, I didn’t think about how I could love my dog yet eat other animals daily without thinking about what I was doing or why.

I promised I'd upload my American Vegan spread as soon as I could scan it to a PDF for you and here it is! Thanks to the new Snow Leopard update, my scanner is no longer cooperating with me, but I now have a PDF copy to share with you thanks to a generous reader.

Autumn is finally here! This is one of my most favorite times of the year. Seeing beautiful pumpkins and gourds, cooking with nutmeg and sage, and feeling that crisp chill in the air are just a few reasons to enjoy the season. Autumn also means school is back in full swing for me, which is the main reason my posting frequency has been... eh, a bit less frequent. I haven't forgotten about you and although I'm not posting regularly, I'm not going anywhere and I'm working on a ton of exciting projects that I will share with you all when the time is right ;) I figured since it's been a while since the last post, I'd be sure and give you a full-fledged post this time. So, sit back and get ready for lots of useful information. I also just wanted to give a quick acknowledgment to all the new subscribers and offer you a warm welcome! What I have for you first is another new recipe. A pumpkin pasta! Well, actually a regular pasta with a pumpkin sauce, but you ge
