If you’re a Nashville resident and love eco-fashion, you have probably shopped at Ecology in Grace’s Plaza. Not only are the clothes beautiful, but they’re also made from eco-friendly fabrics like organic cotton, hemp, bamboo, recycled materials, peace silk, leather alternatives, etc.  I’m a big fan of the cruelty-free handbags and other accessories!

I was talking to a friend last night about being vegan.  I told him about my lunch at VegNews and how wonderful it is to sit at a table with seven other vegans enjoying a delicious cruelty-free meal created with love by friends.  I told him about Vegetarian Summerfest and AR 2008 and how amazing [...]

Ahhh, Thanksgiving.  The time of year when I get asked frequently about what I’m making and if I have any good recipes.  Some might be surprised to find that I go the pretty traditional route on Thanksgiving.  I mean, I guess Tofurky doesn’t seem traditional for some, but considering I’ve been enjoying it every year [...]
