Quick & Delicious For Vegans On The Go!!!
Whenever my friends and family inquire about what Cos and I eat as vegans, I assure them that we (mostly) eat healthy and fresh as much as humanly possible.

Typical Vegan Fare…At My House
Waaaaaay back in the day, when I spent about two weeks in high school as a vegetarian I toyed with the idea of going vegan. And by toyed, I mean that I wrote endlessly for those two months in my journal with the Bush sticker on the front about the terrible living conditions of cows…

Vegan Family Style Meals
So, here we are at my first Friday as a resident of Romania–officially–and my belly is full. Not stuffed, mind you, just that I have been indulging a little more than I should on some fine Romanian food that my mother-in-law has graciously made while we get our place set up, our fridge filled with food…
