Vegan Takeout At Home ~ General Tso’s Soy Strips
I don’t know where you guys are in the world or what you’re options are for takeout but here in Romania, the answer is NONE. As in no options whatsoever and that goes double if you’re vegan. There are a couple of options at a nearby sushi joint and this restaurant that is both Italian…

Garlicky Vegan Mac & Not Cheese
I LOVE mac & cheese…at least I used to love it. Then I went vegan and stopped eating cheese and an odd thing happened; I stopped putting cheese on EVERYTHING.
