A Broken Record... Gets Fixed?
Hey guys, I am certainly not new, but making time for myself now. My life is a whirlwind of your usual life stuff. I am a cook, so constantly surrounded by food, 11 hour days only to come home to an 18 mo old, and a house of mega blocks littered on the floor. I'm living my dream, but somehow missing the part where I take…

Veg Jucy Lucy
I am curious to know if any veg*ns have had any luck recreating the jucy lucy. Or if you would have any strong recommendations on which ingredients would be most successful, I'm all ears. If you've never heard of a jucy lucy, you can read about it here- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jucy_Lucy

September 2012 Babies
I really liked the idea of being able to have a place to talk about our pregnancy with with others who are due around the same time, so I am extending the topic to September babies. I am barely out August group as my due date is September 2nd. I am currently 9 weeks and 5 days along. As this was a complete surprise to me,…

Cross-contamination
Let me preface this by explaining that I work in the hospitality/food industry and am attending culinary school. This afternoon my friend (also in the industry) and I went to lunch at this little bakery/ cafe. While we sat there we were both watching the ladies behind the counter. They were understaffed for a Saturday…

Running with Dogs
Maybe it was the weather being so nice and warm (40 degrees in Minnesota) or the quote I stumbled upon the other day "It doesn't matter if you run 1 mile or 15, you will never regret lacing up those shoes.", but I decided, really decided, to start running. I thought my dogs would love it. So I mapped a 2 mile neighborhood…

Vegan Honee
I just have to share my new favorite thing with the world. Bee-free Honee is a honey substitute made from apple juice, lemon juice, and a little sugar. I am so happy I found this in the market the other day. I am from Minnesota, so this is a local product for me. I do know that they have listings of locations on their…

Vegans/Vegetarians/Humane People?
Tell me, how do you get rid of mice without killing them? I really hate traps. I don't wish to kill them. I just want them out of my house.

Halloween Candy
My roommates have already started bringing home candy. A fellow MFP friend was also beginning to stress. Fun-sized candy can be hard to pass too. This year, I am hoping I don't fall into the spell of eating a lot of sugar. Contemplating this I remembered my mom talking about making my little brother take his candy to the…

Am I burning more?
So do you think I am burning more calories by sitting by the window while doing homework? I ask because it is 64 degrees and freezing. I just wonder if it is worth it sitting here.

Smoking
I am tired of being an oxymoron, the smoking vegetarian. I am on my way to giving up the cancer sticks, but it has been hard. I am slowly cutting down the number of cigarettes I smoke week by week. What is a good way to occupy myself without eating so much food? I am currently in culinary school and working in a bakery, so…

Up and at 'em
I am not exactly new, but feel the need to reintroduce myself. I am a college student, working full time towards a promotion, and stuck with the same numbers. I fell off the wagon here late February, due to a personal event. Without much ado, I want to be on here. It would be nice to build a strong community again to help…
