Nourish and Glow: Vegan Golden Milk Ice-cream Brownie Sandwich Recipe
From BakeandDestroy.net:
[image error][image error]Last week I received two books in the mail that were so beautiful, they literally made me say, “Ooooooh!” Those books were Nourish & Glow: Naturally Beautifying Foods & Elixirs and Fresh & Pure: Organically Crafted Beauty Balms & Cleansers[image error] by Jules Aron.
You may remember Jules’ name from my post about her book Vegan Cheese last year. This year she’s back with two new books – Nourish & Glow, which features recipes for nourishing foods and elixirs (think juices and smo...

Friday Five: My Most-Used Vegan Cookbooks
From BakeandDestroy.net:
If you and I are friends IRL there’s a solid chance I’ve given you a stack of vegan cookbooks at some point. Each month I receive anywhere from 5-10 new ones to review and most of them end up in a friend’s collection. It’s not that I don’t love having a plethora of vegan cookbooks, but I’ve dedicated one kitchen shelf to them and once the shelf is full, the purge begins.
There is a small handful of these books that will never get donated. I may even be buried with the...

Vegan Granola Bar(k): A Dog-Friendly, People-Friendly Recipe
From BakeandDestroy.net:
This is Lulu. She likes vegan dog food, but she also likes to eat dead pigeons.
Do you eat dog food? Would you?
I’m going to pause here and ask you to wonder why you answered the way you did. If you’re like most people you not only answered “no,” but you recoiled in horror when you did. I’m curious – why is dog food so gross? Aside from the obvious answer from vegans (it’s typically meat-based) the general consensus is that dog food is made from gross stuff people wou...

Podcast and Destroy: Car Con Carne
From BakeandDestroy.net:
Every time I record a podcast with someone I walk away convinced I’m going to start one. I’ve had a zillion ideas – one where I talk to interesting people about a specific food-related memory, one where my friend Melissa and I talk about shame boners (people we find hot even though they are totally disgusting), one where I just ask Tony questions about things I know he hates. So many ideas!
But the fact of the matter is I am way too lazy to figure it all out, so inste...

A Vegan Guide to Chicago French Market
From BakeandDestroy.net:
I mentioned Chicago French Market in my Chicago Vegan Eats Guide, but beyond the two specifically vegan restaurants inside, I didn’t even know how many options a vegan might find. Recently my friend Melissa and I were given a guided tour and even got to try a few “secret menu” items. But before we get to the food, what is the Chicago French Market?
Chicago French Market is an indoor marketplace featuring more than 30 vendors, with a focus on local foods. If you’ve bee...

In honor of them, and Galentine’s Day (Feb 13), today’s Friday Five is dedicated to the Left Eye and Chilli to your T-Boz...

From BakeandDestroy.net:
If you’ve read any of my posts about cruelty-free skincare and beauty, you know that I am a huge fan of Juice Beauty[image error]. It’s vegan, organic, cruelty-free and my god, it’s effective.
