Over the weekend I was lucky enough to be able to attend a trunk show at Cow Jones Industrials, my all time favorite vegan boutique, in Chatham NY. Donna Oakes, the owner (and kindest person you’ll ever meet), knows how to throw an in-store bash. Leanne Mai-Ly Hilgart from Vaute Couture and Gina Ferraraccio and [...]
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 [...]
Last week I had the pleasure of sharing a table with many of the nicest and outspoken vegans in NYC. The location was The Organic Grill and the items on the menu everyone was talking about were their vegan omelets. That’s right – omelets! I’ve had tofu scrambles before, but nothing could prepare me for [...]
On July 4th I had the pleasure of hanging out with Leanne Mai-Ly Hilgart, the fabulous mind and soul behind Vaute Couture. We were talking about her designs and I couldn’t help but fawn over her line of tees. I have the “For the love of dog, adopt!” tee and have been waiting to buy [...]
On Saturday night my husband and I met a good friend at Central Park for an evening picnic. The weather was perfect. We all brought delicious vegan food. (Hummus, veggies, quinoa/cashew/pineapple/tempeh salad, tofu egg salad, and some mango lemonade to drink) But the best part had to be the dessert I picked up at Whole [...]
It’s day thirteen of not having any gas for my stove. I haven’t been able to cook. My kitchen has become a foreign place. I thought I’d share with you the recipes I’ve been looking at online but have been unable to make. I shall be cooking up a storm as soon as my gas [...]
This week, I’ve had to be especially creative when it comes to cooking. The gas in our building was shut off due to a gas leak. I haven’t been able to use my stove since Friday. For me, that’s torture. But some good has come out of it. I’ve gotten to be better friends with [...]
Fruits and veggies make up (at least) half of my diet. I can’t get enough. But, I hate that so much plastic goes into purchasing them and storing them. I’ve found my own ways to reduce plastic use, but still seem to use more than I’d like. That’s when I found this handy guide from [...]
About five years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had always been a healthy person, and frankly I was in tip top shape when I found out. I didn’t even feel like I was sick, but tests and biopsies said differently. I had surgery, underwent radiation and healed, physically and emotionally. After that experience [...]
I bought some beautiful beets the other day at Whole Foods and I was dying to use them tonight. I looked through my old recipes and came across a delightful sounding/easy recipe from Mark Bittman at the NY Times. And, it only requires a few ingredients. Happily I had them all. You can watch Bittman [...]
