Firs, I love your blog! I hope to learn something from you as I continue to read it 🙂
I had a questions for you, I am wanting to make a vegan dessert for the first time and was curious as to what dessert you would recommended for a first timer. I am not a vegan, but try to eat vegetarian about 90% of the time. I have had vegan desserts before from a good friend who is a vegan, but they seem like a challenge. Any easy recipe you recommend?
Thanks!
Erica

14th June 2010 at 4:20 amI would LOVE for you to cover those topics you listed! I have problems with all of them. My family was recently invited to dinner by another family and the main question was “what will Kelsey eat?” Not to mention, I go to camps and conferences all the time where food is provided, and here’s me, lugging in my cooler full of food. Any light you can shed on the matter would be wonderful. 🙂

18th June 2010 at 6:05 pmVeganism is not a diet!
Jen says
30th November 2011 at 6:03 amActually, yes it is. The definition of the word ‘diet’ is “the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.” So by eating vegan, that is your diet.

6th October 2010 at 12:31 amThank you for the great website, and I liked your advice about running and knees, as I’m a relatively new runner (2 years). Your two dogs are cute, I have a Cairn Terrier and a White Highland Terrier — very fun! Thanks for brightening my day! 🙂

Cyndi says
5th June 2015 at 7:55 amOh, wow! I thought I was the only one who calls my boys “puppers!” My guys are Eddie, a cute, loving mutt, and Kirby, who has the body of a fluffy little toy poodle and the soul of a Marine. (I know because my Dad was a Marine.)
I LOVE your website, and I’m totally amazed by your great recipes. I make them for my kids without telling them anything about them. They never know the difference between vegan or mainstream, low-sugar or full strength, etc. They just like them and ask for me to make more! Your recipes are the greatest thing for my family’s diet (as in what we eat, not weight-loss diet). We’re eating healthier and better since I found your site and I’m so grateful.
You’re already doing great things with your life as a college student. What are your plans for the future? I’m so impressed by you, you are really going places! And I wish you every happiness and blessing, you deserve them.
(BTW, no one likes their own picture. You should love yours, you’re so cute! No worries for you!)
Chocolate Covered Katie says
10th July 2015 at 3:53 pmThank you so much! I’m open to possibilities for the future. Maybe a second book, maybe television… But if neither of those happen, I’m still very happy just blogging 🙂

10th October 2010 at 8:36 pmI love your style of eating/cooking. What are you most conscious about? how many calories something has? how much protein? how much fat? where the ingredients come from?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
11th October 2010 at 1:02 amHi Nikki!
Hmmm… I actually don’t really pay attention to fat grams or calories or protein (except to be excited when I discover that something I like anyway happens to have a lot of protein).
I do try and eat organic for the “dirty dozen.” But if I happen to see a reeeaally beautiful peach or something that isn’t organic, I’ll still buy it. I’m pretty easygoing and just normally eat whatever my body’s telling me it wants :).

Psyckoprincess says
21st November 2010 at 6:31 pmThanks!!! So are you 🙂 Hm I’ll try emailing again to that one sometime, I had a question for you but it’s slipped my mind…… lol (Seems like quite an awful lot of things slip through there these days haha!) I’m excited to see all the Hugga pictures, yay!

Can you give me an approx calorie count on your boatmeal for 1 recipe?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
3rd December 2010 at 11:21 pmHi Jess,
It depends on a lot of things: the sweetener you use, the milk you use, the add-ins… But since it’s for one, you can easily just add up all the individual ingredients you use, and that’s your calorie count for it.

Happy New Year to you!! Just wanted to tell you how much it means that you encouraged your readers to contribute to the matching challenge, and to tell you that….WE MET THE MATCH!! That’s right!! Folks from all over the country, but mostly right here in the Hudson Valley, contributed. We’re thrilled and humbled, and look forward to a wonderful 2011 doing some long range planning to use these funds to deepen our work on behalf of voiceless animals.
Lots of love and thoughts of chocolate to you from all your friends at Catskill Animal Sanctuary, and thank you again for your kindness.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
4th January 2011 at 4:48 pmOh wow, Kathy, thank you SO much for taking the time to leave me a message! And I am THRILLED to hear you met the match. I kept checking and re-checking your website and twitter status for updates!
Please give my love to Rambo and all the other crazy animals lucky enough to have found you. I think you are one of the most amazing people in the world, and I am so thankful there are kindhearted souls in this world to care for those who can’t defend themselves.
P.S. I loved your first book, and I’m excited to start on the second, which I received for Christmas :).

But I can relate better to bloggers who show their true selves. It makes ME feel better about not being perfect too. 🙂

I know you’ve talked about that before but it is helpful to hear again about your perspective on veganism.
