If you’ve ever contemplated going vegan, now’s the time during World Go Vegan Days, which started October 25 and run through October 31.
Created by In Defense of Animals (IDA), World Go Vegan Days is an annual event to educate people about the vegan lifestyle. During World Go Vegan Days, IDA encourages people to become conscious of what [...]

Fall is my favorite time of year for many reasons (my wedding anniversary is in October, I love Halloween–scary movies in particular, we adopted our dog in October, the trees are pretty, the air is crisp and clean, etc.).
Plus, I start seeing one of my favorite types of produce in the stores this time of [...]

Believe me when I tell you I so wish I was headed to the 24th Annual
Vegetarian Food Fair in Toronto. The Fair runs September 5 (4 to 9 p.m.), 6 (11 a.m. to8 p.m.) & 7 (11 a.m. to 6 p.m.) at the Harbourfront Centre (235 Queens Quay West, Toronto, Canada, for those of you lucky [...]

Creamy, buttery avocados get their taste and texture from good fats, those monounsaturated fats that help lower cholesterol.
Whether it’s the base for guacamole, or diced in a [...]

I’ve been making fried egg sandwiches for my husband almost every Saturday morning for the past two years–maybe more, I’ve lost count!
While I grew tired of them long ago, he still exclaims each time that they are the Best. Thing. Ever.
Here’s how to make one of your very own–you be the judge.
Ingredients:
Bread, English Muffin, Bagel*
Olive Oil
Butter, [...]

When I got married, one of the gifts I received was the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book, Limited Edition. At the time, I thought, “How cute, a retro cook book!”
Little did I know just how handy it would be.
First of all, it’s spiral bound, so I can remove a page if I need to [...]

As if I haven’t harped on Stevia enough already, there’s one more way I get a lot of mileage from my little Stevia bottle.
Rather than buy a bunch of lemons when I’m in the mood for fresh lemonade, I turn to ReaLemon, which is 100 percent lemon juice from concentrate. I get it at my [...]

Speaking of sugar, there’s one item (besides baked goods) in which Stevia will not do, and that is the highly addictive phenomenon known as Kettle Corn.
If you’ve never before tried this sweet-and-salty popcorn made with granulated sugar, salt, and oil, walk–no, run!–to your nearest fair, amusement park or open air market, where you will most [...]
