Hey Pickles!

We're coming to you a day later than usual. Sam wasn't feeling well on our regularly scheduled recording day, so here we are. Better late than never!

This week we have a new recipe From Our Vegan Kitchen. We came up with a recipe for a spinach Pesto Linguine. Get the recipe below, and if you make the recipe, be sure to let us know how it came out. Also, let us know if there are any issues with the recipe because we're just getting used to writing out our recipes!

Our Main Topic this week is what we found in vegan news recently. Thankfully most of it is positive!

Our Listener Shout Out this week goes out to Sharon Genco! Thank you , Sharon for all of your support for the show. Send us your info, and we'll send you a swag bag!

Thank you so much for listening.
We love you all, Christine & Sam
