I LOVE MOO!

     I LOVE MOO!

By: Megan


            I love cows! They have been an obsession of mine over the past year. I haven't always loved cows; I used to think they were gross and smelly when I was younger. As I got older, I guess I didn't really think about cows; I was more concerned with what they made. I loved milk, yogurt, CHEESE! Don't even get me started on cheese. I used to put it on anything and everything. I loved going to the store to pick out a fresh cut of meat to douse in cheese and mayonnaise and eat on a bun. Hamburgers were probably my favorite thing. I ate them at every restaurant I went to. When I went vegan everything changed for me. I don't know exactly the moment it switched for me, but it was very sudden. I looked into their eyes and saw the same eyes my dog had. I saw them as a pet. I then discovered adorable videos of cows chasing playground balls. Maybe that was the moment that changed everything for me; I am not sure, but whatever it was I sure am glad it happened. 
            To me, cows are the ultimate pet. They remind me of giant dogs. I love everything about them and of course am dying to have one. To subside, my "calf fever," I have opted for canvas' of cows on the wall beside my bed, so that they are the very first thing I see in the morning and the very last thing I see at night. I am obligated to buy every cow thing I see in stores (only if it is vegan of course). I have so many cow socks it is quite ridiculous if you ask me. But at the same time I love it! I love finding new cow things and trying to talk myself out of it, but smiling from ear-to-ear like "why do I even bother trying to do that?" 
            In the future, I hope to own a cow. Okay, that is a big joke; we all know I am going to have a cow sanctuary. I think that would be fun; to rescue cows from slaughterhouses and raise them knowing they will never be mistreated ever again, seeing their personalities come out for the first time in possibly their entire life. Who knows what the future holds, but I can guarantee mine will have cows in it.

Vegan Snacks Part 3: Cookies

Vegan Snacks Part 3: Cookies By: Megan   Cookies are one of my favorite snacks. I definitely have a sweet tooth and love all types of cookies. There are tons of vegan brands of cookies.  1. Oreos Oreos were probably the only reason I thought I could make it as a vegan, to begin with. My motto at the time was "I could survive on Oreos". I am not sure why I thought that was possible, but hey I am here and am still vegan, so something must have worked. The really cool thing about Oreos is every single flavor is accidentally vegan. Even the new Gluten-Free Oreos are vegan, which is an exciting new addition to the growing number of Oreos. 2. Voortman Wafer Cookies I know I am a bit of an old lady for this, but I think wafer cookies are the bomb. There's just something about them that I love. The brand Voortman is the only brand I have come across that has vegan wafer cookies. All of the wafer cookies from this brand that I have seen were vegan including flavors such as Chocola

My Deal With Clearance

My Deal With Clearance By: Megan            Anyone who knows me well knows that I love the clearance section. It does not matter which store I am or if I have ever been there I will find the clearance section. Sometimes I go and there are so many different products and sometimes I go and it is completely empty. However, it does not matter if I have not found anything in clearance all day, I have to go to the section in every single store. I never really started going to the clearance section until I went vegan. I always thought it was just a bunch of expired food that could not be salvaged. After going vegan, the food I wanted to eat got to be very expensive. To get as much food as possible, I started shopping for the sales. Then, I discovered clearance tags. A lot of products such as yogurts, mock meats, and veggies would be on clearance often. I learned what was most often marked down and where I needed to look in the stores on quick trips. Usually, if I find foods I like that are ma

Vegan at Restaurants Part 1: IHOP

   Vegan at Restaurants Part 1: IHOP By: Megan     In this series, I will be discussing vegan options at popular restaurants and will be trying them and giving my thoughts on them. I have always loved IHOP. I was randomly wanting IHOP and told my friend we had to go to IHOP; it was non-negotiable really. IHOP really is not the best place for vegan options. They do not have any vegan waffles or pancakes which is a bummer. I ended up getting a serving of Hashbrowns, potato pancakes, and sourdough toast. I would not say this was the most filling meal, but with not a lot of vegan options in the area, it was a nice change. This meal was very carb-filled and I could have easily gotten a fruit cup instead of one of the potato options, but who doesn't love a whole plate of potatoes?      I will start off with the hashbrowns. They were very good. I mean they are hashbrowns, so they are self-explanatory. Luckily, their hashbrowns are naturally vegan, so I did not have to do any specification
