Lots of exciting news today!

1. Today is my birthday, and a bunch of my friends are eating vegetarian or vegan for the day to celebrate with me! That makes my heart happy.

Feel free to join in the fun and tell me what veg things you’re eating today in the comments!

2. Charleston Skirt! Magazine features me and my blog in their May issue, which just came out!

Here’s the page! Make sure to go pick up a copy if you’re in Charleston!

Thank you, Margaret Pilarski, editor of Charleston Skirt! Magazine for featuring me! “All-Around-Accessible Vegan” – aww, shucks!

And thank you Alice Keeney Photography for making the photo shoot so fun and doing a fabulous job!

Isn’t Alice an amazing photographer?! You can visit her website here, follow her blog here, and contact her here for your event. I highly recommend her!

We took the pictures at Puree Organic Cafe in Mt. Pleasant, my favorite local restaurant.

In fact, I ate my birthday dinner with dear friends there last night. I got the Deep South Sandwich:

Seitan tenderloin dredged in almond flour and pecans served on a whole-wheat bun with lettuce, onion, tomato, mayo, & Dijon, Buffalo style!

Puree has delicious, all organic food; check out some of the pictures of meals I’ve eaten there in the slideshow:

I hope you’re as excited about this news as I am! I love that Skirt! is exposing its readers to the vegan lifestyle, and I thank them for highlighting me to do it!

To Skirt!
