Hey Pickles!

We're celebrating our 100th episode of the show this week!

We'll share some kid friendly vegan meals, as we hosted our young Niece the last couple of weeks.

We have an update on the origins of the Pastelito, and we keep you posted on where we're headed in the next couple months!

A new recipe From Our Vegan Kitchen is here, and the full recipe is available on our Patreon page. Join the community there if you would like access to all of the original recipes we make at home!

In our Noteworthy segment, we talk about the upcoming COP28 Summit, and how they are serving "mostly" vegan food?

Our Main Topic this week is a movie review. We review the Netflix documentary, Poisoned, and discuss whether or not it is a vegan film. SPOILER ALERT: If you haven't seen the movie, you may want to watch it before listening!

As always, we have a Reason To Be Vegan, A Listener Shoutout,  and more!

Thank you so much for listening!

We love you, Sam & Christine

Hey Pickles!

We're back in the studio this week to tell you all about everything that went down at WNY VegFest in Buffalo NY!

You'll hear all bout the foods that we tried, the vendors we met, and we shout out some of the great people that came by our booth!

It was a wonderful day, and we're really excited to share our experience there!

In our Noteworthy segment, we encourage you to watch Christopher Sebastian's Ted Talk, 3 ways going vegan helped my anti-racism advocacy.

Christopher Sebastian explores how historical ideas around race and species influenced racial violence and animal violence and how the rejection of animal products challenges racial hierarchies and white supremacy. 

Watch it here! https://youtu.be/rVIzbOSPL5g

We of course have a listener SHOUT OUT, a Reason To Be Vegan, and more!

Thank you so much for listening, and for supporting what we do!

We love you, Sam & Christine

Hey Pickles!

This week, we had some hits & some huge misses in the vegan food realm!
We'll tell you all about it.

Sam made this week's recipe for our Vegan Cookbook Challenge from Lauren Toyota's book, Hot For Food All Day. It's a really different cauliflower recipe!You can get the cookbook here, and as this is an affiliate link, we do receive a very small compensation if you purchase it using our link! https://amzn.to/3JlE3I5

We discuss a vegan neighbor dispute that has us thinking about how people react to vegans in general. 

In our Main Topic, we review the new Guardians Of The Galaxy film, that PETA has called, an " Animal right masterpiece". While the film does delve into the world of animal testing & experimentation, we feel that PETA is being way to generous with their praise of this film. Listen to our full review for more. 

We have a Listener Shout Out, a Reason To Be Vegan, and more!

Thanks so much for taking time out of your life to listen to the show!
We really appreciate you!
Love, Sam & Christine
