Buttered rum? Mulled wine? Hot toddies? You call these holiday drinks? Puleeease. Eggnog puts them all to shame. Sadly though, eggnog is hardly suitable for the dairy-free drinkers among us, what with the egg and, um, nog. Luckily, the amazing animal advocacy group, Compassion Over Killing, has a mouthwatering recipe…

Slaving over a hot stove is all well and good — if you’ve got oodles of vacation time and a penchant for forearm burns. For the rest of us, however, pre-made food and delicious mixes are what get us through the gauntlet of holiday dinners and picky relatives. To make…

These days, you can learn anything and everything online. Because let’s be real: Who has time to drive to class, deal with parking hell, then sit through hours and hours of instructionals? Not nobody, not no how. It only makes sense that cooking schools would be making the migration to…

Favorite haunt of Sir Paul McCartney, Bob Barker, Alec Baldwin and plenty of other notable names, Fort Lauderdale’s Sublime restaurant is a beacon of meatless eating for vegans and omnivores alike.

Thanksgiving is a wondrous and joyful occasion; 24 hours of food, family and football with no agendas, no schedules and no obligations. Besides, a holiday revolving around gratitude and giving thanks is basically the best idea ever. But while turkey is the traditional centerpiece for an American table (hence the…

No matter what embarrassingly outrageous quantity of food we might consume come Thanksgiving, there’s always room for dessert. And there’s no better place to procure your cruelty-free sweet stuff than PAC Pastries. Master culinarian and whipper-upper-of-pumpkin-krunkins Shelbey Ganzel is offering a whole host of autumnal treats for your Thanksgiving feast…

According to PETA, nothing’s sexier than saving animals. And given that veganism tends to lead to weight loss, better skin, more energy, and (so they say) more sexual stamina, they might have a point. The animal advocacy org takes its duties as sexy-vegan steward very seriously. One honor it doles…

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, but for those who prefer tofurky to the gobbling alternative, it’s not as easy to opt into a hearty feast without slaving away in the kitchen yourself. But there are options, if you plan ahead. Several Broward and Palm Beach eateries are serving yummy…

Children are our future – at least according to Whitney Houston. So when it comes to creating a sustainable food system (someday! maybe! hopefully!), young people matter. That’s why the results of the Vegetarian Resource Group’s (VRG) recent study on youth eating habits is particularly interesting. The national online survey…

Despite the fact that bountiful Broward County farms supply some of the area’s best eateries, most diners will never see tomatoes, kale, or sweet potatoes anywhere other than on their plate. Or wrapped in plastic at Publix. But this Saturday, Growing Broward’s first Farm to Table Bus Tour will give…

Burger joints aren’t usually a bastion of vegan eating. For, um, obvious reasons. And sometimes even requesting that a burger place offer a meatless option can bring a world of hurt (I should know). But Gimme a Burger is a chain that’s all aboard the inclusivity train. In addition to…

I was putting ketchup on some breakfast potatoes the other day when I noticed an intriguing recipe staring at me from the back of the Heinz bottle: Reuben Burgers. Needless to say, they weren’t vegan. Nor were they healthy. Nonetheless, I was inspired to veganize them, and the end result…

It’s November 3, which means Thanksgiving will be here in, like, five minutes — because that’s how time works. As a meatless eater, if you wait until the 26th you’ll be SOL, paying top dollar for a side of veggies at some overrated restaurant. Luckily, if you plan in advance,…

If one company represents American consumer culture best, it’s Target (pronounced “Tar-jay,” of course). It’s the store that has everything, making it impossible to walk out without dropping at least $100 on stuff you didn’t know you needed. So the fact that Target now has its own line of meatless…

) Most of us are aware that growing our own food is the idea way to eat, but with tiny apartments, busy schedules, and the convenience of Publix, how often do we really toe the locavore line? According to Randy Shore, author of Grow What You Eat, Eat What You…

the_girl Flickr/cc With pumpkinpalooza in full swing (have you seen the shelves at Trader Joe’s? HOLY GREAT PUMPKIN!), now’s the time for putting maximum amounts of pumpkin in our pieholes. Vegans, of course, have a more limited menu of options in this (and every) department. Pumpkin spice lattes are out…
