Top 10 Sources of Plant-Based Protein
Vegans, or those on a plant-based diet, are often asked the source of their protein. In developed countries protein deficiency is incredibly rare, the amount of protein people think they need is often way above what the world health organisation recommends. So, how much protein do we actually need and where can we get it from?

No-bake Chocolate Cheesecake
No-bake dairy-free chocolate cheesecake! When I was in middle school I found out I couldn't eat any dairy. I was allergic and it made me sick. It was hard being the only one in the house not able to eat dairy. My family helped make adjustments, but it was hard going completely dairy free. There weren’t that many products out there that were dairy free. It started becoming more and more popular. Throughout high school and early college, I still continued to eat dairy but I would just take pills to help. It was never enough, but now that I live on my own I am able to go completely dairy-free! I have found many dairy-free substitutes and now I live my life worry-free. I love being able to give up dairy and know I don’t have to worry because there are so many options out there. I am able to eat everything I love and it all tastes the same still! Even if you aren’t dairy-free because of health issues, this recipe is great for vegans and vegetarians. Dairy-free options are also healthier and aren’t as heavy as dairy products.

Vegan Pasta
Hello my little lovelies! So today I am back with a recipe that is all made in one pot. That's right, one pot! This is a simple recipe with very few ingredients. This is perfect for when you have kids screaming they're hungry or if you have husband is complaining that he's starving and hasn't eaten anything all day. This recipe literally takes no more than 45 minutes to make mostly because of the lentils but it tastes absolutely delicious and you can put in whatever vegetables you want to put in here or you can just leave it as is.

Recipe: Coconut Curry Tofu
Hello my little lovelies! Starting this year, I'm going to adopt a mostly vegan diet (please note I said mostly) in order to get back in shape and finally give my body the nutrition its been asking for a long time now. Everybody knows that I was anti-vegan for a long time, but I've been neglecting my body for too long and I need to start taking care of it. This vegan recipe is perfect for vegans and meat eaters alike, because, first off, it is delicious and, second, there are a lot of spices and flavors in this recipe that you won't even know that there's no meat in it. All you're going to know is that it tastes good so that is all you are going to care about. I mean lets face it, tofu absorbs any flavor that you put to it so if you put beef broth to it, you're going to taste beef instead of tofu.

Recipe: Veggie Packed Curry
Hello, my little lovelies! So, today I come back to you with another vegan curry recipe. This recipe is more vegetable heavy and doesn't really have any protein in it since I was really craving vegetables that day. This dish is perfect for those who had too much protein for the day and want to double up on their veggie intake. Now, this recipe is going to take a little on the longer side because there are squash and carrots involved in this one, and they can take a little bit to cook. But the end result is totally worth it and flavor town will be arriving in your mouth!

Meat Is Murder
"Meat is murder!" I would hear my obnoxious coworker yell. Kelsi was her name. Kelsi, a 5'4" brown haired girl with perfect straight across bangs, so sweet and caring, yet could snap your neck in a blink of an eye. Obnoxious is probably an understatement; she'll shout out random noises at you as she passes, her hiccups sound like a dog is barking, and she'll probably speak to you in Korean at some point, which she taught herself. She's most definitely an introvert but isn't afraid to voice her craziness or opinions.

Being Vegan is a Pain in the Arse
Being vegan is a pain in the arse (but you should do it anyway) I'll start off by saying I'm no martyr. I knew the decision was going to be tough the moment I made it, but I suspected the pros would outweigh the cons. That being said, I had no idea what I was letting myself in for.

What Is Vegan
When I started this vegan thing, I wasn't really sure what I was getting into. I did my research and read the magazines and books and just found it to be healthier. I was never in it for the activism. I just wanted to be better than the generation before me. As time went on, I educated myself and learned. What originally started as something I did for myself and my health turned into something greater. I fell in love with animals in a way I never thought I could. It felt like my body had done a complete 180. What I did not prepare for was the backlash, the questions, and the harassing comments from others.
