Hey Pickles!

In this week's episode, we continue our cookbook challenge, discuss Sam's latest projects, and talk about some not so great news in the world of vegan food producers.

There is some really shady stuff going on in the vegan world, and it challenges our ability to shop ethically.  We talk about how to navigate it all while remaining sane!

Thanks so much for listening and for all of your support! We appreciate you!

Hey Pickles, 

This week we start our 2022 Cookbook Challenge. We're making a recipe a week from one of the many vegan cookbooks that we own.

This week's recipe is a lentil sloppy Joe recipe from the Veganomicon by Isa Chandra Moskowitz & Terry Hope Romero.

If you don't have this cookbook, we highly recommend it!

We picked a simpler recipe that didn't require us to purchase a ton of ingredients that we didn't already have on hand.

We also discuss some vegan news, the recent vegan episode of Beat Bobby Flay & Sam reveals some big news!

If you have any recipes that you think we should try, email us the name of the recipe & the cookbook that it's from and we'll try to add it to our challenge!

Thanks for listening & for all of your support. We hope you enjoy the show!

Hey Pickles!

In this week's episode, we discuss the vegan meals that we make on a regular basis. 

With the holidays in the past, we have enjoyed getting back to a more whole foods based diet, and with winter closing in, we haven't been traveling to restaurants.

We hope you enjoy hearing about what we've been whipping up in the kitchen, and that you can get some meal ideas to try for yourself. 

If you would like any of the recipes for what we talk about, drop us an email!

Thank you so much for listening and for your support of the show. We appreciate you!

Hey Pickles!

This week we discuss some of the news in the vegan world. We talk about food news, the bird flu, and give our opinions on a piece that was published as news but was taken from a two year old Reddit post.

We hope you are having a great Veganuary, and that you have recovered from the holidays.
We're still trying to get back to a normal eating schedule. There were far too many snack foods and candies in the house!

So, get yourself a cup of tea. Sit back, and enjoy the show!

Thank you so much for listening, and for all of your support. We appreciate you!!


Here's a link to the Reddit post that we discuss, if you're interested.       https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/is776e/aita_for_filing_charges_against_my_roommate_and/

Have a story we should know about, a restaurant we should try? Do you want us to discuss a certain subject? Do you just want to tell us how much you love us?

Hey Pickles!

With less than two weeks to go before Christmas, we wanted to share some of our holiday traditions with you.

This time of year we always seem to remember Christmas past, and thought you might enjoy a conversation about what our families did to celebrate the season.

We also talk about some new traditions that we have!

Grab a hot cocoa and a fuzzy blanket, find a seat by the fire, and have a listen.

Thank you so much for listening, and for all of your support!

Merry Christmas to all!

Here is the Minimalist Baker cinnamon roll recipe that we talk about:

So, grab a cup of coffee, find your favorite place to relax, and have a listen.

Thank you so much for listening!!
