One of the main reasons for starting this blog, apart from my desire to raise awareness of and to contribute to nonhuman animal liberation, was to connect with like minded people as well as to educate myself. I find that, while I was passionate about my beliefs, I do not have all the facts and am, like many of you, confused about the terms surrounding veganism.
For instance:What is the difference between going vegan and being vegan?What does free range mean?Should …
Good day,
My family, at the very least, will recognize this recipe book. It is a little worse for the wear, since it is the first recipe book I ever received and has been much used.

I have been away on a family holiday and even though I tried not to be, I have been out of the “loup” (loop). Get it? I was at Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara, Ontario- Wolf, Loup (French for Wolf). I know, it is lame and I apologize. Great Wolf Lodge is a mecca for little kids about the age of my granddaughter and up. Grammies can have fun there, too.
