What is a Vegan?
Being vegan can be a means of healthy nutrition coupled with a thoughtful, harm-free lifestyle, which had been explained when the Vegan Society had written the word veganism refers to a viewpoint and lifestyle which attempts to exclude as much as is possible and sensible all types of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for foods, apparel as well as other intent; and also by extension, encourages the expansion and use of animal-free options. Most veganism is simply the purest method of vegetarianism. Being vegan doesn’t imply you should be a part of any organization and protest or chain yourself up. It just simply means that you choose to follow a 100% plant-based diet for whatever personal reasons. Living a vegan lifestyle should not be an obligation but an enjoyment of good health and a respect of life.

Na-cho Typical Nachos
Right off the bat, I want to tell you guys that these nachos are vegan. But, full disclaimer, I myself do not practice veganism. So why do I opt for these nachos over normal nachos (which are of course delicious) again and again? Simple: these nachos are just awesome! Not only do they pack a flavour punch quite comparable to the usual fare, but they're lighter and healthier—which means we can shamelessly stuff our faces without feeling too bloated and heavy afterwards. Come on, doesn't it feel good to gorge on delicious food knowing that it's all just veggies?

Amazing Plant Based Game Day Snacks
Even if you aren't vegan yet, I think that when you learn that there are so many great options, you may be open to including some, or even all of these options on game day. Chances are that these items will become so popular among you, your friends and your family, that one day these "go-to" quick plant based meals may become your preference. Given everyone's need to build up immunity these days, one tip I do recommend is to add fresh ginger root to everything from wraps to salads and plant based stir fry. Small amounts of fresh ginger root and turmeric provide amazing health benefits. The only word of caution I would advise with fresh ginger root is to use it in moderation, as it has many benefits in small amounts, and to also make sure that if you take any medicine that it does not conflict with that. It has potent anti-inflammatory benefits all on its own!

Quit it with the vegan mac & cheese
I'm not a vegan, but Instagram sure thinks I am. I keep getting ads for dairy-free Ben & Jerry's, and on the discover page they always show me posts from plant-based living accounts. It's my own fault really, and also not entirely unwelcome. I spend a lot of time looking at food and seeking out recipes on the app, so I end up following plenty of recipe developers, many of whom are vegan. They grab you with their bright colours and creative plating, as well as the ethical positive reinforcement of waste-free potato skin chips and cruelty-free mayonnaise.

What Being Vegan for a Year Taught Me
Six years ago I decided to try out veganism. For those that don’t know a vegan is someone who doesn’t eat meat, eggs, dairy products, and all other animal-derived ingredients. Some vegans don’t consume honey or white sugar because the process making it uses animal products. For me it was more about not eating animal ingredients, but I still consumed honey and sugar.

Holidays are of course looking really different this year due to COVID, which is a bummer, but I always remind myself that life is what you make of it! So, just because we can't spend the holidays with the family and friends we usually would, doesn't mean we can't enjoy ourselves a little fun from home.

Peanut Butter Crinkle Cookies
Man, I practically grew up on peanut butter cookies! My mom had a recipe using just peanut butter, eggs, and sugar that she would whip up for almost every occasion. I usually crave them around the holidays, but since I'm vegan now, I had to improvise.
