As much as I hate to write up one of those unoriginal introductory posts, here is my unoriginal introductory post:

I’m in my late twenties, live and work in St. Louis and have been a fairly serious vegan for about a year and a half. This came on the heels of several years of vegetarianism and I’ve generally found it to be a really great way of life. I like to talk about vegan cooking, earnest attempts at vegan cooking, the vegan lifestyle and anything else that might be relative – and I figured it was about time to give my husband a break. (Just kidding! He’s very supportive!)

Anyway, I’m hoping this can be a place to share some of what I’ve learned and why I bother with friends, family and anyone else who might be interested (or bewildered, as is sometimes the case). I invite you to poke around a bit to find out more about my point of view and some of the basic principles of veganism. I look forward to trading stories, recipes, ideas, opinions and maybe even a few tips and tricks of the trade with you!
