    Unsupportive Boss

    Is there someone she reports to that you could bring this concern to? To me that would border on harassment in the workplace and is totally unacceptable. Maybe if you are unable to confront her in person, you could write a letter about how it makes you feel when she makes some of the...

    Am I eating well?

    That looks fairly sparse to me. I would personally be starving after just eating that for a day. :) I would also add some beans and veggies to that pasta, maybe even a sauce. How about some mushrooms, onions, and this sauce...

    Recipe to Convince Boyfriend to Veganism?

    That's a hard question to answer as the choices are very broad. It would depend on what kinds of foods he likes. Here are some of my favorite recipes that might be geared more for an omni who is not into raw fruits and vegetables...

    Happy World Vegan Month!

    What did everyone do? I went to the Twin Cities Veg Fest in Minneapolis and met many activists in person. I also signed many petitions there, and it felt great to be around hundreds of vegans! I always wear my vegan T shirts to the gym too. :) And I went around to those little free library...

    When should you decorate for Christmas?

    I'm actually debating on whether to decorate at all. I came out as an atheist last year (which has been very hard for my Christian partner to bear). I decorated for years, usually three weeks before Christmas. I would like to keep up tradition, but he might not appreciate the hypocrisy. Then...

    Yeah, someone outdid me! That's impressive! From now on I will try to break up my posts more. Sorry.

    Hair Loss!

    Hi Mack! I haven't personally experienced hair loss as a vegan (I have been vegan since early 2011). I have very very thick hair though I keep it short. I DID lose some hair when I suffered with anorexia nervosa and was at my lowest weight and restricting hard (I was an omnivore at that...

    High-protein vegan meals

    I am open to all kinds of vegan protein, and do not limit myself to only certain vegan food. These are just some of the foods I eat as a vegan: all kinds of beans: chickpeas, lentils, split peas, black beans, white beans, navy beans, kidney beans, lima beans, peas... All varieties of nuts and...

    Help on going (and STAYING) vegan with medical issues, please?

    Ok, I am looking at my notes for that cornbread recipe, and this is what I did to veganize it. For some reason I used more cornmeal than the recipe called for. I used 2 cups instead of 1 3/4 cup. In place of the eggs, I used Ener G commercial egg replacer (enough for two eggs). In place of...

    Help on going (and STAYING) vegan with medical issues, please?

    Hi Cody, I am in a hurry at the moment (off to work early so I can go vote and then got to an evening meeting), but the pure cornbread recipe I used was this one (be forewarned the recipe is not vegan but I will share the substitutes in just a sec)...

    Help on going (and STAYING) vegan with medical issues, please?

    It's a personal decision that is up to you. There is no one right way to handle the situation. Personally I would give the meat to someone I know who has no interest in going vegan. I probably would not eat it, but my situation would be different than yours. It is not wrong or disrespectful...

    Help on going (and STAYING) vegan with medical issues, please?

    Hi Cody! What about smoothies? There are a ton of vegan protein powders on the market these days, with everything from rice and quinoa based to pea based or soy based or a combination of proteins. Smoothies are incredibly versatile and you can add just about anything to one. A good blender...

    Starting the transition

    I have always made that dish with Daiya chedder shreds, and have not tried it with homemade vegan cheese, so I can't give an opinion comparing the two. I have used the homemade vegan cheese recipe for other dishes like baked potatoes or mac and cheese and it was awesome on those. I like Daiya...

    Headache when being vegan

    Hi Kenny! Just to clarify, for me a vegan diet and lifestyle are "normal", not alternative. There is a cultural attitude that meat eating is normal, but when you stop to consider what it takes to acquire this meat to subsist on, it really doesn't seem all that normal. Breeding and keeping...

    Starting the transition

    Welcome hippyman! I LOVE this enchilada recipe: http://tofu-n-sproutz.blogspot.com/2011/04/potato-roasted-corn-and-black-bean.html It does require vegan cheese, but if you can't find a vegan cheese anywhere, I highly recommend making this homemade vegan "cheese" (it is simple with easy to...
