I recently discovered how to make the perfect
Vegan Eating and the Olympics: Every Day is Different
Poor Mckayla Maroney As I watched the Olympics last night and saw Mckayala Maroney mess up one of her vaults, my heart sank for her, considering all the hard work that she had put in up to that point. My husband actually left the room because he couldn’t watch any more after Mckayla was unable to stick the landing on her vault. The commentator seemed
Summer Vegan Veggie Burgers
Hi everyone! My name is Nikki and I am the author of The Tolerant Vegan , a blog that is filled with vegan recipes and the occasional ramblings about cats and hockey. I’m so grateful to Jill for inviting me to visit her part of the world to connect with all of you. I’m here to chat about my Maple Sweet Potato Pecan Burgers, a
Cashew Cheese
This is another post by my “virtual” intern Maggie Sloan, a vegan nutrition school graduate working her way toward becoming a Registered Dietitian.

Then he asked me if I’d seen chard, and since I was right at the Triple T Ranch and Farm booth, I pointed to the basket of Swiss chard. He went over to
Pressure Cooker Orange Scented Beet Salad

Immune Boosting Bowl
I have been working feverishly for the past month or so to complete my pressure cooking cookbook. I’ve taken few breaks and haven’t seen much of the world lately.
