You rock Jennifer! I've been talking vegan to a friend of mine with a newborn for over a year, but your blog helped to convince her that she can do it! She is so excited. Keep up the good work! -a vegan in Flint Mi
Jennifer, I am SO glad you are writing during the summer. I had really grown fond of this wonderful blog, and was hoping you'd do a few more posts. I even bought my daughter a Laptop Lunchbox, and used it myself at work today. Your recipes are yummy and the way you are so mindful of the simple moments with your son are a true inspiration!

menmyteddy13-- Unfortunately, "free range" or "organic" hens are still force molted (shocked into laying cycles by being deprived of food and water), and still slaughtered brutally at a very young age. "Free range" generally only ensures some access to the outdoors, but with no regulations on the size of this access. Thus, these hens are most likely still subjected to cramped, filthy conditions for their short, brutal lives, while male chicks are still often ground up alived or gassed. That's not to say "organic" or "free range" isn't better than traditional eggs from battery cages, but the best thing you can do for the chickens is to not consume eggs, period.
You can find more information simply by Googling ""free range" organic eggs." I reccomend http://www.veganoutreach.org/whyvegan/animals.html for more information about farm animals.
And Jennifer-- I would -so- buy a kale eating action figure. Yay for being a veggie hero!
I'm sad to say that I have only just come across your blog, which I found through vegcooking.com, however, I will definitely enjoy reading through all the posts. I think any child, vegean or not, would thoroughly enjoy having you as their mum :) School lunches never looked so good.
I came upon your blog by accident while looking for tuno. I have been on the hunt for Tuno for what seems like forever. I finally broke down and decided to try and order it from Worthington foods directly and it is DISCONTINUED. I have been veg for fourteen years and a tuna sandwhich on toast is the only thing I miss after all this time.
first: jennifer, you totally rock! second: for kate, i too miss tuna (and very rarely actually undulge the urge) but found tuno to be absolutely disgusting. if you've never had it before believe me, you're missing nothing. HOWEVER, you are missing out if you've not had asmar's veg (it's vegan) tuna salad! it's made locally so i'm not sure whether or not all whole foods markets carry it, but you can check it out (and possibly order it?) here. i like it on toast with maple mustard, avocado and grape tomato slices. mmm...

I think that the action figure should come with each copy of your cookbook. It could be like a Klutz book that always has a goody with it!
you are certainly a veggie hero to me!

I love the Klutz book-style marketing idea for the cookbook!
Hehe, I love the picture and the T-shirt. Congrats!

Jennifer,
That's awesome! BTW, I saw your mention in VegNews. Congratulations, you seem to be popping up everywhere!
You're part of the reason I started eating a vegan diet again. That's enough to make you a veggie hero in my book!
