Did You Bring the Hummus?

It's day 11 of Veganuary and by now you've no doubt hit a snag or had a difficult conversation, maybe you've wondered if it's worth it to make such a big change when the people around you don't seem keen on it. Once I had gone vegetarian I knew I would never going back to eating animal flesh, wearing leather...etc. but I was definitely aware of how much easier life was before I made the switch. It is not easy to go against the norm, but it is meaningful, which is what helped

Enjoy some vegan memes! No paragraphs to read today!! Did any of the memes give you a chuckle? What's a misunderstanding about veganism that baffles you or even that you once held yourself? Tell me in the comments!

I don't know about you, but I love reading. Gee Kimberly...we didn't know that about you...you've definitely never mentioned it before or asked people about what they're reading....( World Book Day , Whatcha Readin'? , My Current Reads ) Anyway....here are some books I encourage you to check out to support you in your vegan journey. This is in no way an exhaustive list, in fact, I'm going to break it out into a couple of blogs so we can focus on various topics. Animal...

Let's take a break from the longer blogs and just breathe together. Find a comfortable seat and close your eyes or find a soft gaze down your nose Begin by tuning into your breath, just noticing your breath at first, then as you settle into your seat, begin to deepen your breath Take a deep breath in through your nose and sigh it out, repeat 2 more times Allow your breath to return to your regular cadence, you can open your eyes and return to your day or sit here with your br

We're 7 days into Veganuary, what questions are coming up for you? Are you wondering about protein? Iron? Calcium? Omegas? Here's a fun video from nutritionist Callum Weir on all of these things (listen to him on Did You Bring the Hummus here and visit his website here .) I've been vegan for 10 years, went vegetarian more than 24 years ago, but, I am not a nutritionist, so I am always going to point you to resources who are trained and experts in that field to guide you.

Since I was clueless I had to start learning fast, so, for me that meant a lot of trial and error and a LOT of sad looking and not so great tasting food. What I'm saying here is, no matter your current skill level in the kitchen, you can learn to cook vegan and be

On today's That Vegan Morning Show Jen and I talked about something really important to the vegan movement, ex-vegans who go SO hard the other way and what makes them do that. This wasn't our original topic but then only a few days before the end of 2025 a person who had been vegan for 30 years and had even worked for Veganuary announced she was leading a "Forget Veganuary" event during the month of January. So often, when someone who had been calling themselves vegan announc

This is not what happens if you mess up This is a common question I hear from clients or even friends when embarking on their vegan journey. First, I'm actually going to turn the question back to you...ask yourself "what if I mess up?" What is driving you to ask this question? Is it fear of judgement from others? Is it the expectation that the less than supportive friend will say " I told you so"? Is it because you have tried to go vegan in the past or tried to make some oth

What about a word or theme of the year instead? I've written about this in the past, but, I don't do resolutions. Any time I've done them they've either been too big so I was immediately overwhelmed or they were too vague so I had no idea where to start even though It was my Idea!

Think about previous resolutions or goals you've set but then didn't achieve. Maybe what was missing was the support, not just someon
