If Maps and Chalkboards had a love child

aren't they cute? Spotted at Shop Dirtsa

I went and Did It

So as I mentioned yesterday, I have decided to full steam ahead it down the Vegan railroad. This means no meat, no dairy and definitely the hardest for me...no cheese. Just uttering those words hurts my heart so. 

I made this decision a little over a month ago and expected it to last maybe a day but you know what? It is totally sticking. I feel leaner, healthier, and confident with what I'm putting in my body. And I swear I only cheat every other Sunday with cheese pizza. It's that whole cheese thing I tell you. The meat, I barely think twice about missing, the eggs, bleck, I never liked those anyways but the brie, oh the brie. 

Anyhoo, this is not meant to be a diatribe against meat or why Vegan is the Jam, what I'm really wanting to know is are there any other veganites out there and if so, can I get your suggestions? Staples, what works, what totally doesn't, favorite recipes, books, blogs, I'll take it all.  I'm drowning in a sea of salad. Danke schon smarties xoxo

A Week of Lovelies

Since it has been awhile since I ventured down the Lovely lane, I thought I would start this Monday off on a pretty note. You can't go wrong with pretty or lovely in my opinion

two of my favorite things made an appearance at this Sunday Brunch: chevron and Bloody Marys

I decided to go vegan and now things like this make my heart palpitate. seriously can't handle the lack of yummy cake in my life right now. Hey, at least I can eat the blackberries on top. I'm sure they are just as delicious as that chocolaty cake
