Hey Pickles!

We're one year old!!! That's right we've been doing this crazy vegan podcast thing for a whole year! We're so glad that you've been here with us as we've grown and learned along the way!

We also had a big vegan birthday bash for Sam this past weekend. We'll fill you in on all the vegan food that we made for the party!

We made a recipe for our Vegan Cookbook Challenge with a bit of a twist.
This week's recipe was an homage to Christine's late Mother, Joyce. You'll hear why she honored her Mom with this particular recipe, and we'll share the recipe below! It's a recipe by Italian Chef, Lidia Bastianich. We have many of Lidia's cookbooks, however this recipe was not in any of them! We're pretty sure this recipe is only from one of her many cooking shows. We found it on a food forum!

We created a list of some of the hidden animal ingredients that you should watch out for when you're doing your grocery shopping, and we let you know in which foods you might find them.
We recommend the book Animal Ingredients A to Z by EG Smith Collective , and Carol Adams. We'll link to it below

We will be in Rochester NY this weekend to see Randy Rainbow at the Kodak Center, and we will definitely be seeking out some vegan eateries while we're in Rochester, so we will report back on that in next week's episode.

In other exciting news, we are going to Washington DC in October for the Animal & Vegan Advocacy Summit! The AVA Summit aims to accelerate progress and create systemic change for animals by empowering advocates and organizations to increase their impact.
We'll give you more details as the it gets closer!

Thank you so much for listening! Enjoy the show!
