Easter

This year for Easter, my family decided to skip the traditional turkey/ham dinner, and have a fantastic vegan brunch! We made a bunch of waffle “sausage” and cheese Panini’s for the main course. I bought Tofurkey Sausages (Sundried Tomato are my favorite). My mom made her famous biscuits with almond milk, and we made a delicious fruit salad. My brother cooked up some free range scrambled eggs for the non-veggies of the house, and we drank it all down with an orange juice spritzer. It was delicious! My grandfather even approved of his first tofu sausage…Yay!

It was actually really nice to celebrate in the morning, with flowers and the sun shining. It felt so appropriate for Easter.

Also on Easter weekend, my friend and I went out to a Chinese restaurant and we both ordered the vegetable curry on rice. It was spicy and tasty. Definitely something I would order again.
And, when we went to Tyson’s house, his family bought me some meatless chicken for supper, and for dessert I had Pillsbury turnovers (I know…they’re vegan!) I’m so lucky that I have family who welcome the veg lifestyle and accommodate me. I always feel welcome :)

New Website

I love the Farm Sanctuary and their website. Recently they have created a side project/ website called Plate to Planet.
www.platetoplanet.org

It has some great information about becoming veg and the negative impacts of factory farming. Below is a short video from the website, voiced by actor Jason Schwartzman.
