About

My name is Julie.  I love eating simply vegan and I love my fiance (who is not an herbivore). I am an Arizona native, and though we suffer through the heat each summer, we all stay because of the beautiful winter months.  We are the proud parents of a 2 year old Shar Pei/Rotweiller named Deuce!

I can't tell you that I am a master of all things vegan and the frugal techniquest that the "couponers" have, but I can tell you that I am beyond excited to share all that makes me happy in life. This includes amazing vegan (and some non-vegan) recipes, budget wedding tips, things I love and dislike along with plenty of information about my favorite pup!

As a vegan, I love coming across flavorful recipes that not only are healthy, contain little oil and unnatural fat, sugar and calories, but I seriously enjoy feeding my non-vegan friends and family. Their rave reviews continue to push me in my vegan eating/cooking efforts, and I think a part of them dies inside each time they have something positive to say about fresh fruits, veg and legumes!

Oh...and just to start the blog off right, here is your first glimpse of Deuce! Enjoy!

He was just six months old in this picture and weighed a little more than 25 pounds. Today, he is 40 pounds heavier and approaching his second birthday! My how they grow.

So now, we have a blog, a woman who works a 9-5 (or really a 7-4 in my case) as a marketing and social media guru, a love of vegan cooking and a computer. Yes....this is good.
