Our Idea

28 DecemberBrooke Ignet Hocker

We met our third week of college at Ohio University, which also doubled as our first night of cheerleading tryouts (go Bobcats).  Small talk revealed that we were both from the Dayton, OH area, both had divorced parents, and both considered ourselves “only children with siblings” (we were in college, our siblings were in diapers).  Read more

Eating Vegan

01 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

After watching the documentary Forks Over Knives, Joe and I decided about a year and half ago to change our eating habits. Rather than going completely vegan or vegetarian however, we made the decision to occasionally have meat or fish on the weekends. The results have been completely astounding! Here are just a few: 1) Read more

Thank You Northstar Cafe!

02 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Eating out “vegan style” can be quite the challenge and don’t even think about “fast food.” A sit down restaurant is probably your only option. Special thanks to Northstar Cafe for serving this amazing Tofu Pad Thai (hold the egg, of course) tonight. I even helped Joe finish his Thai Burrito, which is another great Read more

A Vegan Week in Review

08 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Greetings from your delinquent blog poster! What a busy week it has been! The few of you who actually read this are probably wondering whether or not I’ve eaten my arm off yet.

Pizza…yes please!

10 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Friday, January 9th: While leaving Pickerington on Friday night after the Divertimento Flute Quartet Gig, I had the sudden craving for thai, so I stopped by Thai Paradise for their amazing Green Curry and Spring Rolls.

Eating Vegan in Columbus, Ohio

11 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Eating healthy, whether you are eating a clean pescetarian, vegetarian, vegan or a whole foods diet, can be a major challenge. Dairy-free, soy-free and/or gluten-free diets are not just a trends for many, but necessities for quality of life for most.

I Heart Northstar Cafe!

14 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Sunday, January 11th: Joe and I made our weekly visit to Northstar Cafe on Sunday morning and it was a huge success! I made sure to ask for almond milk for my coffee, and the kind folks at Northstar were happy to accommodate that need. I changed things up this week and ordered the Big Burrito Read more

Days 14, 15, 16

17 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Wednesday, January 14th: Today’s new creation was a vegetable curry with organic brown basmati rice. We’ve made a variety of different curries and I can say this one was very good, but not necessarily our favorite. The recipe called for tomato paste, but Trader Joe’s was out when I went grocery shopping so I substituted Read more
