Kicking off the weekend with a big ol’ Quinoa Caesar Salad from #isadoesit. Yes, sometimes I am a total vegan stereotype and get really excited about salad. 🤷‍♀️ (Bonus cameo from Steven’s sweet piggy tattoo!) . . . . . #vegan #vegansofinstagram #vegansofig #whatveganseat #vegansalad #salad #veganfood #veganfoodshare #veganfoodporn #memorialdayweekend #vegantattoo

Saturday morning. Tower o’ pancakes. The calm before a busy day. 🥞 . . . . . #vegan #veganpancakes #veganpancakestack #veganbreakfast #veganbrunch #veganfood #veganfoodshare #veganfoodporn #whatveganseat #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #breakfast #pancakes #pancakestack #plantbased #poweredbyplants

Third-best thing about working for an animal protection organization? Having lots of vegan/vegetarian coworkers, including one who brings in homemade #vegan lemon-blackberry cupcakes. The recipe is from the March + April issue of @vegnews, and it’s wonderful! Perfect for spring. 🍋 (And yes, I know how lucky I am!) . The first- and second-best things about working for an animal protection org? Fighting for all animals every damn day and getting to bring pups to work, respectively. 😊 . Oh, and real talk? Taking a food photo in an office is NOT EASY. In fact, after I snapped a few quick pics, my cupcake tumbled over and smeared blackberry frosting on my sleeve. 😬 #worthit

Friday night = pizza night! We hit up @true_food_kitchen in Bethesda and I tried their grilled artichoke and pesto pizza, featuring artichoke, spinach, summer squash, black walnut pesto, lemon, aleppo chili, and an almond ricotta. Verdict? Underwhelming. ☹️ Yummy crust, nice creamy cheese, but no real standout flavor — it needed something spicy or acidic to really give my tastebuds a kick! Oh well. At least it looked nice. 🤷‍♀️ . . . . . #vegan #veganpizza #veganpizzanight #pizza #pizzanight #veganfood #veganfoodshare #veganfoodporn #whatveganseat #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #plantbased #latergram

It’s GARDEN SEASON! 🌱🌿🌾 I started my poor seedlings indoors months ago, but it just hasn’t been warm enough to start hardening them off till now. They’re all getting some time in the sun to ready them for planting in my raised beds + container garden, but I have to be careful: It’s nearly 90˚F here, and that kind of heat will be shocking after such a protected life indoors. They’re all doing great so far, however! Here’s a sneak peek of what I’m growing. 1. Honeynut squash with sweet fuzzy leaves. So excited to grow these guys — they’re like tiny versions of butternut squash and so adorable. Once they get their true leaves, these guys’ll go straight in the raised beds. Those little leaves hide a very developed root system and I don’t want them to become root bound! 2. Snowbird peas (with the cutest little tendrils) in their fabric planter. Love these little trellises I found at Lowe’s. 3. Emerald okra! Soon I’ll have to thin these babies so they don’t get too crowded. I’ll probably try to transplant some to a raised bed just to see if they’ll take... I hate thinning! 4. Chives who overwintered outdoors and are flowering for the first time! 5. Neat little rows of sparkler radish cuties. I’ve also got a different variety of radish in one of my raised beds. 6. Sage for daaaays. I can barely give away all my sage leaves; these plants want to take over my entire herb garden! 7. Oregano coming back strong… with a little mint creeping in there. Oops. 8. My first time growing rosemary! The package said it’s notoriously difficult to germinate, but mine did just fine. The seedlings are a little leggy, so I’ve got to get them out in the sun for as long as possible. I think this year’s garden is going to be my best (and most delicious) yet! I’ve got lots more going on, including beans (!) sprouting in the raised beds and waiting to be trellised, garlic that’s probably a month or so away from being ready to harvest, tons of tomatoes and peppers, and all sorts of other fun experiments. And that doesn’t even cover my native plants garden, which provides food for my pollinator and wildlife friends! I’ll have to share more soon. :)

My fashion philosophy is pretty simple: No animal should suffer for the sake of anything I wear. That includes human animals, too. While I stopped buying animal products like suede and leather when I went vegan nearly nine years ago, I only recently made the switch to clothing that's ethical in a broader sense. Today, I try to fill my closet with clothing made by workers who are paid a living wage, who have a safe working environment, and who aren't asked to use practices or materials that harm the planet. The good news is that it's easier than ever to find ethically made clothing -- like the shoes (@willsveganshoes), trousers (@prana), and USA-made socks in this photo, taken in beautiful Norway.

VEGAN IRISH COFFEE! We drank so many of these during chilly at-sea days on our all-vegan (!) cruise through Norway’s fjords last October. Full review of the trip is live on the blog at long last — link in profile! So glad companies like @vegantravel exist. . . . . . #vegan #vegans #vegantravel #vegancruise #veganrivercruise #norway #fjords #travel #travelpic #irishcoffee #veganirishcoffee #whatveganseat #whatvegansdrink #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #veganfortheanimals

Afternoon tea! Why is it not a thing in the United States?! We loved these little late-afternoon snack breaks on our all #vegan cruise late last year. The perfect post-hiking pick-me-up! Check out the blog later this week for a (very belated) write-up of our Norwegian fjord cruise with @vegantravel last autumn! . . . . . #vegantravel #vegantraveller #wanderlust #itchyfeet #travelphotography #travelpics #travelpic #whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #veganfood #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #afternoontea #scones #vegancruise

I tend to prioritize international travel... which means it took me nearly 31 years to visit New Orleans! Shame on me, especially when there’s plenty of veg food to be had — like this uttapam filled with sweet potato curry from @greengoddessnola. And their vegan Naked Mary cocktail was a delight too. 🤤 . . . . . #vegan #vegetarian #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #vegantravel #whatveganseat #whatvegansdrink #veganfood #veganfoodshare #nola #neworleans #mardigras
