Hello friends and fellow animal lovers! Today is my cat's birthday! My family has three cats, and today's is the birthday of our oldest who is turning 13! His name is Hiro Nakamura (named after the main character from the TV show "Heroes") and he is the friendliest cat you will ever meet.
He was found in the woods of West Virginia with his two brothers when he was just a kitten. At the time, my mom was volunteering at the shelter he was taken to and she fell in love with him and just had to give him a home!
About two years ago he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and was predicted to live for the next six months only. Not only is he living long past those six months, but he is as happy as he has ever been!
Hello friends and fellow animal lovers! Today I am going to be writing about an incredibly delicious vegan place that my mom and I went to this week called Plant City!
Plant City is located in Providence, Rhode Island and it is right by the water. The location is absolutely beautiful! Plant City has a coffee bar, a little market, and four restaurants! Make Out (mostly raw food), Double Zero (for pizza), Bar Verde (Mexican), and New Burger (for-you guessed it-BURGERS!). Everything there is vegan and my mom and I had so much trouble choosing where to eat! We could eat anything and it all sounded amazing! In the end we figured we couldn't go wrong with Mexican. Off to Bar Verde we went!
Hello friends and fellow animal lovers! Welcome back to my blog! I'm so happy to have you here! You are in for a treat because today I am going to be sharing with you the recipe for my mom's homemade grilled cheese! She based it off of this recipe from "My Meatless Meals". This grilled cheese is my brother's absolute favorite thing that my mom makes, and it is one of my favorites, too!
If you have any questions for me feel free to ask them in the comments section below and I will do my very best to answer them! I hope you enjoy!
Hello friends and fellow animal lovers! I am a big fan of bagels with cream cheese! I have it for breakfast most days and it is one of my favorite things to eat! I have gone through many different cream cheese phases while being vegan, and I thought I would share with you my favorite kinds and why I like them! Enjoy!
Violife: Violife is my absolute FAVORITE cream cheese of all time and considering how much I love bagels and cream cheese, that is saying something! If you like their cheese (which I have written about before-click here for the link!) I have no doubt that you will LOVE their cream cheese!
Hello friends and fellow animal lovers! It was my little brother's birthday this weekend (he turned 11!!!) and my mom and I thought that it would be a great idea to try to make him a surprise birthday cake!
Yesterday we sprung into action! We had my dad take my brother out for the afternoon while we secretly baked the cake! We followed the vegan confetti cake recipe on what is now my absolute favorite vegan blogger's website called "It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken". If you are interested in exploring her website feel free to click the following link!
Full disclosure, our cake is nowhere near professional level. We don't have much experience with baking in my house so of course this can be expected, but we are so proud of how the cake turned out. It tasted absolutely delicious! Even though it might look like a bit difficult task to tackle, the recipe was very easy to follow and it was so fun to bake! I highly recommend it!
Hello friends and fellow animal lovers! Tomorrow is Cow Appreciation Day! When I first heard about the day, I thought is sounded like a wonderful idea! Cows need more appreciation from humans! Since I thought the idea was so lovely I decided to do some research about the day. Then I realized that Cow Appreciation Day was not what it seemed...
Cow Appreciation Day was first created in 1995 as a marketing strategy for Chik-Fil-A. Yes. Chik-Fil-A. So the idea is if you go to one of their restaurants dressed in cow apparel will receive a free entree, and kids wearing cow apparel will receive a free kid's meal. Different food companies celebrate this day with deals like this, and they encourage their customers to eat dairy + meat. I, however have other ideas. I think that the best way to appreciate cows is to do something to help them. Whether that be learning more about them, choosing not to eat their meat or their milk, or spreading awareness, the choice is up to you.
Instead of eating burgers, I thought I would give you the most delicious plant-based options that are made cruelty free, keeping your conscience clean.
Hello friends and fellow animal lovers! Welcome back! Today I am going to be sharing with you one of my all-time favorite books called The Animal Lover's Guide to Changing the World. It is absolutely and positively amazing, and I hope that you go and check it out!
The Animal Lover's Guide to Changing the World by Stephanie Feldstein is one of the most amazing things that I have read in my life. I am not much of a non-fiction reader (even when it is about something that I am passionate about) but even so I absolutely loved this book!
If you consider yourself in any way a lover of animals, this book is for you. You may not be ready to take the step to becoming vegetarian or vegan, and that's okay. You will still find something in this book that will help you make the world a better place for the animals in your own unique way! This book is written in an engaging style, containing real life information and tips on what you can do to better the world.
