Newest Vegan on the Block

I'm not a writer, nor am I chef.  In fact, I'm not all that skilled in either category.  I'm a regular single girl living in Philly with two dogs and a cat.  I recently went vegan.  I decided to go vegan after reading some books about the horrors of factory farming. As an animal lover, I realized that I had no choice but to go vegan.  I love it and I'll never go back to my carnivorous ways, despite the funny looks and the questions I get from friends and family.  I've been vegan about 3 months.  When I first started, I had know idea what to eat.  I certainly was not looking forward to a life of salad three times a day.  But other blogger's recipes inspired me to try new things.  If you are a new vegan, perhaps we can take this journey together.  I've tried some recipes that I've loved and other attempts to make what I thought would be a delicious meal, have bombed.  I've been learning about healthy eating and have also been inspired to get back into shape.  So I took up exercising as well.  This blog is simply to share with you my delights, struggles and accomplishments in living a healthy vegan lifestyle.  If I find a recipe I love, I'll share it with you.  Some are incredibly healthy, some are chock full of calories....but hey, nobody's perfect!  Stay tuned!

  1. I am glad that you created this blog as there is alot of momentum for the vegan lifestyle these days. As a vegan since 1985 (yep, an old head), the benefits it brings is substantial and gets better and better every day you do it. A local on line suppoort like this for recipes, information and restaurant reviews is a great thing. For example, we are going our for our 37th (believe it or not) weddding anniversary to Blue Sage in Southhampton. I'll give a review for the blog!
