Hey Pickles!
 This week we talk about a project that we did with award winning children's author, Sarah Woodard. We developed a full day's worth of kid friendly vegan recipes for her wonderful blog.

We reveal some great vegan options that are now available at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, discuss the  Harry Potter themed animal rights group, The Protego Foundation, and we continue our Vegan Cookbook Challenge with a recipe from Ashley Madden's book, The Plant Based Cookbook.

Here are links to everything we talk about this week:

Hey Pickles!

Hey Pickles!

This week we cook from the controversial cookbook, Thug Kitchen 101.
We discuss this, and how we've all been duped into believing that Coconut Bliss, now Cosmic Bliss was a vegan company!

We've made some incredible discoveries concerning the origin of this company. You won't believe it!
Will we ever stop being let down by corporate greed?

Thanks so much for listening!
We appreciate you!

Hey Pickles!

This week we continue our Vegan Cookbook Challenge.

We talk about what vegan meals we made for our family over the weekend.

There's some exciting news about Miyoko's Creamery releasing a vegan cottage cheese, and we are angered by a vegan company, formerly Coconut Bliss, who is turning its back on vegan customers by adding dairy products to their line of ice creams.

We discuss how companies greenwash their products, and why it infuriates us!

Here's a link to the article that we discuss     https://vegnews.com/2022/3/coconut-bliss-dairy-line

Thank you so much for listening and for all of your support of the show!
We couldn't do it without you!

Hey Pickles!

This week we continue our cookbook challenge with a recipe that took some research!
We've always wanted to make vegan sushi, and in particular, vegan dragon rolls.
We searched our cookbooks for a dragon roll recipe to no avail. We did however find sushi recipes, and a sushi rice recipe in a book we have that's called, Japanese Cooking Made Simple by Salinas Press.
So, we had to branch out a little. We found a tempura recipe at The VietVegan's blog, and headed to Youtube for some tutorials on the method of making a dragon roll.

We were super happy with the results!

We also discuss why you shouldn't eat dairy, vegan cheese, and when fruit isn't vegan.

Thank you so much for listening. We appreciate you!

Hey Pickles!

We are in our 4th week of our 2022 cookbook challenge! We've really been enjoying making some new recipes!
This week's recipe comes from an E-book cookbook from Fraser Fitzgerald, and his Brother, Eamon, along with Eamon's wife Bec, called Everyday Eats!
There are 50 wonderfully photographed recipes to choose from, and they are mostly simple in preparation, but definitely not simple in taste!

We also discuss some articles that we found. We'll link everything below so that you can check things out for yourself!

Thanks so much for listening, and for all the great support!
