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!

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.

Perfectly spiced and delicious vegan/gluten free apple pie bar recipe will be up on the blog tomorrow (with a shorter title)! This is the one I posted in my stories a while back with the insane buttery crumble topping that I'd gladly eat plain... I mean I guess I do eat it plain because I'm kinda guilty of eating the crumble off the top and leaving the apples and crust... The worst kind of human 😂😳🙋‍♀️

This tattoo reminded me of the things we choose to live with.... I'm excited and hopeful to wear it into the future. Then, (trying to help you follow my train of thought here 😂) I realized I have a hobby of piecing together understandings of what bits of life other humans choose to carry with them into the future. You know, those things that make a person who they are... When I meet a friend I'm probably overly eager to get past the bonding, and get straight to knowing them deeply. I'll never fully understand, but I love you complex emotional creatures. I choose to carry a few heavy things and a lot of (smarter) people would say I should put those things down, but I like to think these are the most character-shaping, and I'm still using them. The things I'm supposed to curb my bitterness toward and bend that negative perception into light and progress and lessons and hope for the future. Things I'm equally grateful for and ignorant of. Things I want to explain to strangers so they understand me better, though I understand and appreciate that that's not possible. There's also the little things, things we wear on our sleeves and are happy to share with everyone we encounter. Some of those things for me are; this little tattoo, my love of the mountains and how my life is/has been influenced by them (I didn't really even understand it at the time of getting the ink, my badass tattoo artist in the prairie that is Kansas asked if I was mountain dreaming and I told him yeah, I guess I am?...), the steps that led to my awakening to my duties towards other animals, and my best relationships.
Feel free to tell me what a couple of those things are for you, regardless of how small or physical or invisible or emotional. ☺️ My intention is to leave this conversation open, come as you please, write what you will. Let's get to know each other here on a level beyond OOTDs, food sharing and links to sales. (Also thank you for reading past my cringeworthy long a** run on sentences 🤪.... And for letting me show up like this!)

It was November—the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines. Anne roamed through the pineland alleys in the park and, as she said, let that great sweeping wind blow the fogs out of her soul. ~ L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
Happy November! This is going to be the best month of the year. 📸 credit to @danikalynnco 🧡
