Every environmentalist knows that being green means eating local foods. Buying an organic apple is great, but if it’s shipping from New Zealand to NY, then the organic part doesn’t mean a thing. Location is everything. The average meal travels 1500 miles from farm to plate. That’s insane. I do my best to buy local [...]
Editor’s Note: Please welcome guest blogger Sharyn Glowatz to Livin Veg! Just 5 years ago I was a meat eating, no cooking fool. The most impressive thing I could muster up in the kitchen was a cheese omelette with toast. My last serious attempt at cooking a meal had resulted in a grease fire that [...]
Editor’s note: Please welcome guest blogger Laura Orban to Livin Veg! How many of us don’t eat meat, but allow others to eat meat in our home? How many of us don’t eat it but serve it to family and friends? Being in the veg minority among my loved ones, that was exactly what I [...]
Yes, the annual Veg News survey is out and people are voting. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, look around and you’ll find many many restaurants, veg companies, blogs etc. vying for your vote. (I’m not nominated but if you like me, if you really like me, you can do a write [...]

Last year the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale raised over $25,000. Not too shabby! I plan on holding multiple through the [...]
Last week my Whole Foods finally started carrying Daiya cheese. For those of you interested, it’s in the prepared food section near the pizza dough, pizza cheese and sauce. It’s labeled “vegan cheese” and says Daiya. The first thing I made with it – because I missed them so so much – were nachos. Yep, [...]
I’ve talked about Vegan Yum Yum’s cookbook before, but now that I’ve had it for a while I’ve had time to make quite a few of the recipes inside. So far, I have not been disappointed. Everything from the corn fritters to the pineapple baked tofu with seared pineapple rings and nutty greens to the [...]
Ever wonder how Tofurky compares to Field Roast or to that ever odd food Quorn? The American Dietetic Association put together a chart comparing various vegetarian Thanksgiving alternatives. For those of you who may not know, the AMA is the most trusted voice on nutrition and they have repeatedly reported that a vegetarian/vegan diet is [...]
I’ve said this before, but feel the need to say it again every holiday season. Celebration roast by Field Roast is amazing! It is the absolute perfect faux meat for the fall/winter holiday season.
