Katie,
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

Hello Katie! Love your blog! You should check out NuGo Bars! They are Vegan and covered in real Dark Chocolate….they sound right up your alley!
http://www.nugonutrition.com. My favorites are the Dark chocolate Pomegranate, Dark Chocolate Chip, and they just came out with a Dark Chocolate Chip Mint that is pretty awesome! Hope you like them!

I 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. 🙂

Veganism is not a diet!
Actually, 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.

VeganJ,
I’m not sure what your comment means, as nowhere in my page does it say veganism is solely a diet.

Thank 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! 🙂
Thanks, Suzanne! And Molly and Henry (my crazy puppers) say hi :).
Oh, 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!)
Thank 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 🙂

I 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?
Hi 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 :).

Hey darlin, I sent a mail to you and it just bounced right back (like, instantly), is that the wrong one to mail to you? I’m trying to send my Hug a Vegan blog link! Ack! 🙂 Thank you!
Hmm… that’s the right address. But no worries; I got the link anyway (through a pingback). I’ll visit your site later today to see it!! And I’ll definitely include you in the wrap-up post :). You’re awesome!
Thanks!!! 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!

Hi Katie,
Can you give me an approx calorie count on your boatmeal for 1 recipe?
Hi 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.
Oh 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 :).

Hi Katie! I just discovered your blog & I wanted to let you know how excited I am to start following you! While I am not a vegan I have a few close friends that are and I am always trying to come up with new recipes to cook for them when they come to dinner at my house! Your website will now be my “go to” for vegan recipes and treats! 🙂

I love your new “About Me” page Katie! I think “about” pages are so important – they seem to make the actual posts more enjoyable because you really feel like you know the author! You did a great job here girl!

I know this page is still a baby but I like how organized it is. But you definitely are more than a diet so some information about your life, hobbies, etc. besides food will show us the real you.

Love it! You are such a good writer, Katie. I, for one, would love to hear more about your time in China :).

I think it’s perfect as-is, with the emphasis on food because it’s a food blog after all. And I appreciate that you talk about your struggles, even though I know you said it’s hard to show you’re not “perfect”.
But I can relate better to bloggers who show their true selves. It makes ME feel better about not being perfect too. 🙂

this is a great page so far katie! I would like to hear more about your travels, the food you enjoyed while traveling, and maybe how your diet isn’t “perfect” and how that makes you human! I know you’ve talked about that before but it is helpful to hear again about your perspective on veganism.
