There is great power in each individual’s hands, and something puzzling to many scholars, researchers, and activists is that the same hand that can lovingly pet the family dog can stab a piece of beef for dinner. Over the past century, animal agriculture has become highly industrialized and hazardous for the health of all of […]
Why do we Love Some Animals but Eat Others?
Our dogs snooze under the table where the worn bodies of pigs, cows, chickens, and fish are spread. One animal stays close to our hearts while the other belongs in our stomachs?

Animal Haven of Asheville
A safe place for the ones who’ve always deserved it, but never had it. Animal Haven of Asheville was by far my favorite stop we made on our trip wandering about Asheville, NC. When we were in the city, we saw a pop-up stand for an animal rescue. That’s where we learned, from a kind […]
Sweet Butter Bread
Try my vegan rendition of the bread Chick-fil-a uses for their Chicken Minis, one of my childhood favorites! Apart from the insane amount of chickens abused and slaughtered for Chick-fil-a to sell its chicken sandwiches, its CEO, Dan Cathy, has been very outspoken over the past decade about his opposition to marriage equality, saying, “We […]
Laughing Seed Cafe
In a charming and cozy corner of Asheville, NC, lies a plant-based treat, the Laughing Seed Cafe. It is tucked into a spot of beautiful Wall Street, across from artistically designed steps swelling with Asheville spirit.

“Impossible-y” Cheesy Vegan Quesadillas
I think what’s really fun about quesadillas is that you can really make them your own! It’s not a strict stick-to-the-recipe thing that’s super stressful if you slip up on one measurement; it’s sort of like an art project and everyone involved can do a little something different with their quesadilla. These quesadillas are super […]
