My 30 Day Vegan Experiment

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Being vegetarian has always been pretty easy for me, especially since it’s what I grew up with, but over the past year I’ve gone from being a healthy vegetarian who watches her protein and vitamins to a carb-etarian who lives on potatoes and pasta.

Moments from a Prairie Winter

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Growing Up Vegetarian & Our Split Kitchen

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

I’m a big fan of food. I love to cook and bake, and I love eating out. One of the best things about My Prairie City is that we’re made up of so many immigrants that we have food from every corner of the world, and we’re so close to so many farmers you can eat local [...]
