We are both really into nutrition! See the Resources page for links to some of our favorite sources. We went to a Pescetarian diet (with small amounts of dairy/eggs) in October 2012. Around January 2013, we cut out all dairy and eggs and tried to keep our sushi outings to once a month. However, it wasn’t until we saw the Earthlings video in August 2013 that we made the switch to Vegan. After seeing animal slaughter houses and animals being tortured, I have no desire to eat meat or any animal products. Even the dairy farmers were torturing their cows. It’s SO sad! I couldn’t watch the whole video, so I just skimmed it, watching a few clips here and there.

That said, I see the need for more reviews of individual recipes. Yes, I have seen a few sites out there with rated recipes. But they are not vegan!! I’m the type of person who likes to try out a lot of different recipes. There are only a handful of recipes that I will make over and over because they were just that good! So, in order to receive a 5 star rating from Sutton and I, they need to fall in this category. If it’s a 1 star rating, we are throwing it away and ordering take out.

So to sum it up, I created this site because it’s something that I wish already existed. Something to help me weed through the sea of recipes and find the great ones! For me, the “great ones” are ones that taste great, take 1 hour or less to make, serve at least 4, reheat well, and have a process that is not complicated or frustrating. I have spent hours looking through recipes, and came up with this list of Tips to help others with their searches. This site is also meant to help by giving honest feedback about the recipes. And I want it not just from myself, but also from YOU!
