Hey, friend! I'm Lauren. I share a lot of vegan things here. I love a nutty latte, rustic and imperfectly presented recipes, the Pacific Northwest, and all things related to veganism/minimalism/personal development. Join me here in this community to share our stories!

Sunday Griffin and I were in the car driving all around Spokane with a squealing noise ringing in our ears. It was annoying to say the least. We tested the blowers of the heater, looked for obstructions, put our ears down by the speakers, tried turning the radio up/off, and touched just about every inch of the front seat trying to make it stop. We would have to stop conversing mid-sentence because we were so distracted by it. We were parked outside of a grocery store when Griffin grabbed this kombucha bottle from the back seat to get a drink. When he picked it up the squealing got louder. Yes. This was the source. He cracked the lid and it stopped 🤣
I said in my stories I was inspired by @ellenfisher 's video on $2 vegan meals. I finally made a super quick post about it! It's up on the blog (linked in bio) with alllll of the habits that help us cut grocery costs. Hope this helps! Maybe this will explain for those who comment on how we or other vegan families spend "so much" to eat this way. It's really not much! We just prioritize a healthy abundant fridge and pantry over other things we could be spending on. What's one thing you do to save on groceries?

Caramel iced latte, clean and cozy kitchen, and a winter weather advisory (it's about to get SO cold). About this sink, while we're looking at it... 😅 We just did some renovations before moving into this house and the sink that was here was so tiny. We couldn't find a new one to fit that spot for the longest time and were about to start sawing out the cabinets when we decided to check a camper supply store. Yes. They had the one for us. 😂 I have a camper sink in my kitchen. 👌 And Griffin was overwhelmed with faucet choices apparently, he went in by himself and came out with a faucet named "Loraine". He chose that one because that's what he always calls me hahaha. No special features, nothing we were looking for in particular, it just had my name

Brussels sprouts, purple sweet potatoes, fresh organic herbs & @fieldroast ... ALL my favorite things to eat, all from my favorite place @naturalgrocers. I'm like a child prepping my own food for the week... Why can't I just have all my favorite foods in a big ol' combo meal? Oh, I can 😂 At least I omitted my other faves, mac and cheese and chocolate 🤷‍♀️ Linked this recipe in bio!

The birthday dinner leftovers are gone and I'm super sad about it! Our spread included sweet rice wine battered tofu, a tofu/veggie stir fry bowl, white rice, potstickers, sesame balls, and fried spring rolls 🤤 Also want to share a thing with you: Two Jehovah's Witnesses sharing Revalation 21:3-4 with folks in our rural area knocked on the door today and before sharing, asked how I personally viewed the future of the world. I gave them my hopeful answer, the one I use for conversation's sake, and told them its a bright one. My words were (warning: vegan stereotype not being broken today 🤣): "I'm vegan which is the alignment of my actions with my morals, so I'll use that as an example... Over the years, watching veganism's explosive growth, I've come to understand that people want to do better. We're taking it upon ourselves to act on our beliefs versus sitting on the sidelines, so I'm hopeful." The conversation-leader of the two said her husband is vegan as well. She said she tries to help him as much as she can and knows the benefits of veganism are huge for ourselves and the world, but she's not vegan yet. "I'm trying" and "maybe someday" are the better half of excuses people feel they need to make to justify their actions to vegans (the worse half being "it's too late for me to change" or "I could never be vegan because _____"). But does it make sense that one can be willing to knock on strangers' doors, share the Bible, climate strike, protest for womens' rights, vote for change, rescue the animals we don't eat, etc. and not be willing to implement one simple swap after the other that chips away ALL these issues AND allows us to live at peace with our conscience? Why would I run around the planet like a super sized Tasmanian devil and then pray for someone else to stop me? Basically saying, It's hypocritical (everyone's trigger word) to address other issues one at a time until you've gone vegan. 💌 As always my inbox is open! I can help you make the holidays a THOUSAND times better by making them plant-based 👏 Even in a time crunch, whatever you need. Never knew a feeling of living in such alignment existed & I'm SOOO happy to be entering 25 vegan💃

👉 Savory sweet potato pizzas on the blog today, linked in bio 👈 Includes a weird-to-the-pizza but common-to-the-pantry secret ingredient to make pizza sauce richer AND the best vegan ricotta hands down. That's all I have to say. Have a great day. 🤓

Heeeeey fall, I'm glad you're still here, with your golden tree confetti. The clouds are sprinkling ice this morning but that's forgivable. You'll have to earn my trust back, but we can get through it.
