April 5, 2016 by Amanda Wood Leave a Comment

Making the switch to a vegetarian lifestyle isn’t always easy, especially if your entire family is all about huge turkey dinners. I discovered this first hand when I gave up eating meat. Initially the decision had to do with my health, I wanted to feel better about my body and the food I was … [Read more...]

In a glass enclosed space at the St. James Cathedral located in the heart of the city, was the beautiful setting for the Nella Bella Fall/Winter 2013 collections preview event.

July 15, 2011 by Amanda

Last week I randomly picked up Alicia Silverstone's book "The Kind Diet" at our library, thinking it might have some good vegetarian recipes I could try out.

Jessica Simpson Spends the Weekend Vegan.

June 30, 2010 by Unknown

Remember when Jessica Simpson wore this shirt?  Now, I know that at the time she took a lot of heat for it, but it may have been the day that I kind of fell in love with her. Look, I certainly don't judge anyone else's relationship with meat. I have my own strong feelings about chicken and I … [Read more...]
