Pie is a quintessential part of Thanksgiving. Even if there's loved ones, football, and turkey, the holiday just really isn't complete without a pie (or many). But a traditional pie crust recipe is made from lots of butter, and many fillings have mil…

If you were upset by the news that President Trump pulled out of the Paris climate agreement last week, you’re definitely not alone — the United States is the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, and the decision means our country…

The birds are chirping, the flowers are blossoming, and everywhere you look, people are wearing pastels, which can only mean one thing: spring is officially here. If you're kicking off the season by hosting a holiday gathering for friends and familie…

Ah, Easter. A holiday (for the more secular, that is) all about rebirth, spring ... and chocolate. It's also a holiday where lots of little adorable baby chicks and rabbits get their moment in the spotlight. Unfortunately, eating chicken's eggs or ot…

For me, being vegan on Passover and brining some vegan Passover recipes to a seder is a no-brainer, a continuation of my Jewish ideals. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I think that eating vegan is one of the best ways to celebrate Passover…

One of the greatest (and most restrictive) Jewish food holidays is nearly here: Passover. Luckily, as a vegan, I have some practice with dietary restrictions. I also think that being vegan is one of the best ways to celebrate Passover (it's a holiday…

If anyone knows eating green food, it should be vegans. On a healthy vegan diet, you might eat more green foods in a day than most people get in a week. It's part of why a vegan diet is so good for you — but don't think that means we don't like to pa…

If you're planning on skipping dinner reservations this Valentine's Day (I don't blame you, restaurants are always so crowded and overpriced on February 14th), then these 11 vegan Valentine's Day dinner ideas for two are your godsend. Even if you're …

Look, I'm not ashamed: I'm a romantic. So much so, in fact, that last year, I wooed my sweetheart for our anniversary (which also happens to fall right around Valentine's Day). My guy usually does most of the cooking (I'm the baker), but I think that…

As someone who's not personally big on football (I'm sorry, I'm sorry), the best part of The Super Bowl to me is obviously the company, the commercials, and the food. But if you're hosting a Super Bowl party this year and are either vegan yourself or…

We've been fed the same calcium myth since we were little kids waiting in the lunch line at our school cafeteria: Milk is the best way to get your daily fill of calcium, the mineral that strengthens bones and teeth, regulates our heartbeat, and helps…

During the winter, there is nothing better than hibernating with a blanket and a book. Why not take it even further and make vegan soups for National Soup Month? This month-long celebration lasts the entire month of January, making it the perfect exc…

Since I decided to stop eating animals last October, I’ve had more than one well-meaning individual ask me how I’m getting all the protein I need without eating meat. (I’ve also heard a lot of comments about how “fish isn’t really meat,” and I’m stil…

Every season has its signature flavors — fall is bursting with pumpkin and apples, spring is all about fresh greens, and summer means juicy fruits. When it comes to winter, however, there's really only one taste, one smell, and one flavor that rules …

Ain't no party like a vegan party ... because a vegan party doesn't hurt animals. More and more, people are seeing the health, environmental, and ethical impact of eating a vegan diet — which is very exciting! That means that whether or not you are a…

When I told my dad I was heading home for the holidays this year, he said, "Great! I'll make you some latkes!" I responded, "Sounds good! So long as they're vegan!" and I promised to send him some vegan latke recipes. Though the standard latke calls …

Everyone is always hating on New Year's Eve, and I get it. It's a lot of hype to live up to. And if you've had a crappy year — as many people have this 2016 — you might not even feel much like celebrating. That said, in my opinion, the fact that this…

I've said it before and I'll say it again: just because I'm Jewish, doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good Christmas cookie. I've been to plenty of holiday parties in my day, and I always appreciate Christmas' dedication to the cookie art form. As a …
