There’s a million responses I get when I tell people I’m vegan, but the most annoying one is when people say “But what about bacon?” Honestly, it’s incredibly rude to just discredit someone’s beliefs with a joke. Most ethical vegans care very deeply about animals and don’t feel that this topic is a laughing matter….

Brownie Bottom Banana Bread Bars
Happy Easter Sunday! I hope all of you are enjoying the holiday and spending it with your families. This year, I am spending my Easter in Los Angeles! I’m here for spring break to visit a few colleges, as well as enjoy all the vegan food. This afternoon, I plan to go to the weekly…
Vegan Strawberry Muffins With Lemon Glaze
Last week, I completed my school’s leadership program for juniors. To celebrate, everyone in the program brought in food, and we all had a big breakfast together. I signed up to bring blueberry muffins, since I knew I had a bag of blueberries in my freezer. But when I went to make the muffins, I…
Vegan Sourdough French Toast
Sourdough is all the rage these days. The fermentation process makes it easier to digest than other types of bread, and it also yields more nutritional benefit. With the trend towards healthier eating, people are constantly looking for better alternatives to their favorite foods. Zoodles and bean pastas have replaced wheat spaghetti, smoothies have taken…
Baked Pumpkin Donuts With Cinnamon Sugar (Vegan)
One of my fondest childhood memories took place during my family’s annual visit to a local farm, where we picked pumpkins, navigated through corn mazes, and went on hayrides. Every year, as we pulled up to the farm, the aroma of freshly made pumpkin donuts from the donut stand would hit me, and I would…
Vegan Double Chocolate Muffins
Lately, I’ve been starting and ending each day with chocolate in some form, and it has honestly improved the quality of my life. You may think I’m making this up, but it’s true: chocolate is scientifically proven to make you happier! Apparently eating chocolate releases phenylethylamine (AKA the “love drug”) and serotonin in your brain and…
15 Minute Vegan Breakfast Tacos
Living in Ohio during the winter can get pretty gloomy. The complete lack of sunshine for months on end really starts to get to you after a while! Because of this, it’s really best for us Ohioans to plan a trip somewhere warm during the winter, just to keep us from going completely insane. This…
The Best Vegan Pancakes
Pancakes are one of my favorite foods. They come in so many flavors and varieties, and they make it socially acceptable to eat cake for breakfast! Every Sunday morning, I make a vegan breakfast for my dad and I. Sometimes, my mom will join in, although she’s usually pretty skeptical of vegan food. However, there’s…
Baked Vegan Eggnog Donuts With Eggnog Glaze
With exams finally over (as of yesterday), I’m ready to get in the holiday spirit! Since there’s less than a week remaining until Christmas, I’ve decided to jam-pack this week with holiday fun. That means I’ll be posting bonus holiday recipes this weekend! Instead of my usual weekly post on Sunday, I’ll be sharing vegan…
Rosemary Cornbread Muffins (Vegan/Gluten-Free)
I feel like cornbread is the underdog of side dishes. Many people favor biscuits or dinner rolls over cornbread, saying that cornbread is too dry and bland. However, I’d like to make an argument in favor of cornbread. When prepared correctly, it has a delicous buttery flavor, with just a hint of sweetness. Adding different…
