just discovered: wonderful resource for raising veg kids!

Click. Read. Share!

I found the Boston Vegetarian Society page by way of VeganYumYum's blog post about the society's annual food festival, which I just missed, sadly.  I would have flown cross-country to hit up those festivities in a heartbeat!

I'm a sucker for a well-organized melting pot of resourceful info when I am learning about a new field of interest, and this site does not disappoint.  There are book rec's categorized by age-appropriateness, and several helpful vegetarian and vegan site links.  I'm interested in checking out The Teen's Vegetarian Cookbook for my teenage vegetarian sister {Christmas is rapidly approaching!}, and the vegan pregnancy books and sites recommended on the society's page.  My sister is the only vegetarian in her house, and her mom doesn't cook much {she's my half-sister for those of you with the confused Cocker Spaniel head tilt}, so I think this book would be great for her.

Another book that looks promising in the Vegan Lunch Box, with over a hundred ideas for animal-free lunches.  This book keeps both adults and kids in mind, and their photography is adorable.     

The society's website is bursting with information, not just on raising veg kiddies.  I just found my new cyberobsession for the week...

Let me know what you think of the site, and what you learned.  I am sure this is not the last time I am going to refer to this site.

I have been MIA from Blogland as of late, planning and prepping for our annual Halloween party, which is this Friday. I've got some vegan treats on the menu that I promise to share afterward.  In the meantime, I wanted to share some fun links I've come across in the past week or so. 

Cassi shares her story...no, I'm not writing in the third person

Gas is not only a natural part of life, it is definitely part of a plant-based diet...all those beans...one natural cure: peppermint tea

Find other vegans in your area...become friends...swap ideas + stories...meetup! I did.

Sixteen miles is not too far to drive for an all-vegan-menu...might not make the round-trip during my short lunch hour though

This dude knows his stuff...a really great resource, especially for us beginners

Halloween is by far my favorite time of year.  Gabriel and I go all-out: DIY decorations, costumes, party menu, gifts + favors, etc.  DIY is so much more rewarding any way you look at it.

HaPpY HaLlOwEen, everyone!

Grubbing on some homemade kale chips while assembling the party favors...I promise to explain the TP rolls in the next post.
