It’s that time of year again and the feast is now over. I have been enjoying some days visiting my parents in the Haliburton Highlands and it’s been surprisingly busy. Hence blogging after the fact rather than in prospect. What I can say is we had a wonderful meal. Here’s what I made: There were […]| Vegan Practically
The world lost Jane Goodall last week, but her legacy of advocacy for non-human animals will have a lasting impact. Many people have lamented her death, posting tributes and professing to share her values. In 2017, Jane Goodall wrote: “There are three main reasons why we should eat less – or preferably no – meat.

Vegandale is a vegan festival with lots of vegan food options, some information about cruelty in animal agriculture, and a very small (disappointingly small) amount of non-food vegan merch.

In the past week I’ve gone twice to the Canadian National Exhibition for the first time since 1989. The CNE or “the Ex” as we used to call it when I was a kid holds so many wonderful memories for me, but it has changed a lot over these several decades. Familiar landmarks like The […]| Vegan Practically
I’m not sure if you love pizza as much as I do, but it is up there with my favourite foods. In 2011 when I first started to eat vegan, cheese was a challenge and therefore pizza was a challen…| Vegan Practically
Anyone who uses plant-based milks in Canada is surely aware by now of the recall of various Silk and Great Value products — refrigerated oat, almond, and coconut milks — because of list…| Vegan Practically
Bruges is gorgeous, and has an outdoor restaurant culture with all sorts of beautiful patios, many along the canals or on bustling squares scattered throughout the town. If I had to score it on the…| Vegan Practically
I’m on a photography tour of France right now with a group of people who aren’t vegan. And though everyone is nice about it (at least to my face!), it’s been a bit of a challenge.…| Vegan Practically
Bruges is a lovely town in Belgium, known for its beauty. Think well-preserved medieval buildings and quaint canals. It is also home to one of Europe’s oldest surviving hospital buildings, Sint-Jan…| Vegan Practically
Before I travel I like to do some research. Starting Sunday, I am going to be on a photography tour of Brittany and Normandy in France that starts and ends in Paris. I’m tacking on a few days…| Vegan Practically
