Play-doh Kitchen Creations Ultimate Swirl Ice Cream Maker - Video

We got a little gift for each of our kids at the start of the school year. Our little girl loves playing with Play-doh and loves crafting and kitchen and play food so I was pretty sure she'd have fun with the  Play-Doh Kitchen Creations Ultimate Swirl Ice Cream Maker. Turns out we both had fun! Enjoy the video!

The Official Animal Rights March San Diego 2018 - Why We Marched with Kids

This was the first year that The Official Animal Rights March took place in San Diego and the first march I went to with kids. This is a worldwide march started in London in 2016 that has grown around the globe. Marching isn't something I always want to do but I'm getting used to it and will continue to march for issues I believe are not being addressed. Animal Rights is especially important because a lot of people STILL don't know how much every single animal suffers and fights an untimely death. Billions of animals are needlessly slaughtered every year, a large percentage going right into the trash without even being consumed because we demand it. Well we demand that it stops.

24 Vegan Family Dinners - Pestos, Pastas, Macs, and Bakes

Now that the kids are back to school and the weather has started to cool off, I thought it would be the perfect time to share a roundup of hearty, filling, family-friendly pastas recipes from this blog and all of our favorite vegan bloggers. From Stuffed Shells and lasagnas, to spaghetti and mac and cheese, we have 24 healthy plant based recipes for hungry families to enjoy.

Cute Caterpillar Snack, RITZ Cracker Coupon Deal, and SWEEPSTAKES!!!

This post was sponsored by RITZ as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

We have both Walmart and ibotta on our coupon page because as a vegan family that likes to stick to food on the healthier side, it can get expensive and these places have such great deals. Right now, ibotta has two deals at Walmart where you can save $.75 on RITZ Classic Crackers & Fresh Stacks.  This works for all the crackers listed at the end of this post and there is a sweepstakes with hundreds of dollars in Walmart Gift Cards you can enter to win. Of course we grabbed a few boxes and my little girl and I had cute vegan cracker "caterpillars" with hummus and veggie sticks as a yummy snack.

Vegan Ricotta Stuffed Shells Recipe

It's back to school time, fall is coming and I wanted to get out one of our family's favorite staple recipes. The kids love it, we have made it for quite a few potlucks and parties now, it is easy to make and can even be batch made and frozen. I know some people do stuffed shells with pre-made vegan ricotta, or homemade cashew ricotta, but we do ours with tofu, so it is a pretty light recipe, too.

New iPhone 2018 Release Date and Where to Sell for Your Old Phone

Although the Apple company hasn't officially announced the release date for the next iPhone, for the past six years, they have been releasing their new phones in early September. So it is reasonable to expect the 2018 phones to come out within the next few weeks. This also means that it will be a great time to cash in on your old phone if you buy the new one and want to make a little extra cash in the process.

30 Vegan School Lunches

Gardein nuggets, glow chocolate, cantaloupe, raspberries, cucumbers, peanut butter filled pretels and cashews.

My son is vegan and he is a picky eater who is going into second grade this year! I thought it would be difficult to make healthy plant based lunches that he would like for his first year of full day Kindergarten but it was actually a lot of fun packing his Planetbox every day. Before school we actually looked around at videos and posts of people's lunches so he could tell me what he wanted his lunch to be like and he was happy with almost everything!

Crispy Pan Fried Breakfast Tofu

We've done a lot of breakfast posts on the blog but I finally had a chance to shoot some video of one of my kids' favorite breakfast foods to show you all a really simple way to cook tofu. It is cooked low and slow and crisps up in the frying pan and then toss with some tasty spices including nutrient rich nutritional yeast. It takes a little while to make but it makes a tasty protein rich little finger food and a great filler for an egg-like sandwich.
