Hey ya'll! I have dedicated this blog to all my vegan obsessions. I cook and bake, read and write, travel and visit, indulge and delight in ALL things cruelty free! I have helped run Green Vegetarian Cuisine, since it opened in downtown San Antonio in 2007, with Chef Mike Behrend as my mentor. He used to own LuLu's Cafe and Bakery, known for it's chicken fried steaks and jumbo cinnamon rolls, but sold it after going vegetarian, and used the proceeds to open San Antonio's first 100% vegetarian and kosher restaurant. His mom, who we call Mama Lu, has recently gone vegan, and is one of my favorite chefs as well. She keeps the southern belle in me inspired and hungry! I have been the pastry chef at Green since 2009, and am a self taught baker. I have always had a big sweet tooth, and I love to work on recipes and veganize classic desserts. The best way to convince someone that a vegan diet isn't just sticks and berries, is to feed them pie and cupcakes! cookies and brownies! Tofutti Cuties! It proves you can eat yummy stuff while standing up for precious animals, annnnd the environment.
I play guitar in two bands, so I tour a lot while seeking out crazy awesome vegan restaurants every where I go! Hopefully you will get to see some stuff from my travels, as well as recipes and pictures of the food and desserts I am constantly making at home and work. My boyfriend is an amazing vegan cook too. You will probably see lots of pictures of him...eating...and making weird faces...and holding my pup...Cheeba!! She is a little deer chihuahua and she is 8 years old. Her favorite food is pizza crust. She hates peanut butter and saying goodbyes. My goal is to inspire you to buy a rolling pin, nutritional yeast, and squeal with belly excitement.
