Labor Day Favorite – Vegan Sandwich
My old self had this dread of turning vegan that was based on my own ignorance. I was experienced with the salads, nuts, pasta with plain sauce and veggie burgers I snuck into the trash while eating with vegans I know. I hadn’t done my research. But, I was determined to turn vegan and learn how I, a raw tomato hating, spicy meaty sauce loving old guy could survive on a plant based diet. I had to find more than PB&J in all it’s wonderful variants. Yes, I can live on vegan Asian curries and Asian salads but there had to be more. Enter the Sausage, Peppers and Onion sandwich.

Vegan Fine Foods Cafe and Market
Defiantly Dairy-Free! The sign says everything you need to know about the intense Vegan attitude of the people working here. Spoiler alert: I love this place! I found Vegan Fine Foods™ with a Google Maps search. I’m in Broward County visiting my mom for her 99th birthday. I’ve been seriously Vegan hesitant in this home of fruits and veggies.

Grampy’s Journey
That photo of a family playing below a Catskills waterfall, encompasses my main reasons for becoming a vegan. That is Vegannista(Laura) her hubby, kids and sweet pups. Actually I need to restate that. They’ve never been pushy but I’ve felt the need to be one with my grand kids, one of whom once asked me “do you eat dead animals?”. Yep mommy is really a VeganNista. I also know I care deeply for all animals. I cringe killing ants. I’ve spent my life as a true meat eater and have the ass to show for it. But I fly fish, yet never kill the fish I catch. Now I may even stop fishing…

Panang Curry
Made this awesome vegan curry from the recipe I got over at Cookie and Kate. The photo, not the best, is from lunch today after two days of mellowing in the fridge. Thai is always better after time in the fridge.

Pretzels! Yum
Made these awesome, vegan pretzels from Sally’s recipe, minus the butter. It’s the first time I’ve made pretzels and I’m more than happy with the results. My kitchen was a floured disaster but cleanup was easy. My only regret is I should have left them in the oven for another minute or two but they are fully cooked and delicious. Please visit Sally’s Baking Addiction for the recipe

Chocolate Protein Powder Review
SO many of you enjoyed our Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder Review that we decided it was due time to put chocolate protein powders to the test! As with the vanilla powders, we did a formal, side-by-side review of some of the most popular vegan protein powders on the market. We also added in some lesser known, innovative brands. Our goal was to see which protein powders delivered on taste and nutrition and which ones weren’t worth the hype, saving you the time and money of doing the research yourself!
