Websites to Visit

The Kind Life (http://www.thekindlife.com/). I've loved Alicia Silverstone for years. I must have watched Clueless a zillion times before an ex stole my beloved VHS tape (the bastard!). So, when I heard Silverstone had a book out about her road to becoming vegan, as well as tips and recipes for maintaining a vegan lifestyle, I was stoked! I completely recommend the book (I will be doing a review in the near future). If you want an insight to how informative our gal can be, check out her website. It has recipes, facts, helpful hints, blogs, food reviews, links to online shopping, and much more!

VegNews Magazine (http://vegnews.com/web/articles/page.do?pageId=1456& catId=7) is one of my new favorites! There are book reviews, articles with interesting info such as baking substitutions, gardening, living eco-friendly, vegan traveling, favorite veggie people, places, trends, products, etc., blogs, videos, online shopping, sanctuary stories, and much more! 

VegWeb.com (http://vegweb.com/) has over 13,000 recipes! You have access to an extensive list of delicious appetizers, great beverage ideas (even cocktails!), scrumptious breads, delectable desserts, crock pot recipes, casseroles, soups for any occasion, and anything else you could ever want or need!

Vegan Backpacker (http://veganbackpacker.com/) is a fun blog written by a vegan couple traveling all over the world. Not only do they give great tips for traveling while sticking to a vegan lifestyle AND a budget, they write about all the delectable foods and beverages they've come across on their adventures. This is a fun site to check out for mouthwatering photos, ideas, inspiration, maps, travel guides, etc.

I find that Take Part (http://www.takepart.com/) is a great site to go to for interesting articles on politics, health, food, schools, green living, lifestyles, etc. For example, they have this fun map where you click on your state, and it tells you what that state is doing best. Fyi, California received a frown face for having bad energy policies, but on the plus side, we have the most UFO sightings every year (6,331). For my Nebraska folks, you're producing the most commercial red meat than any other state! Egad! 

Pyramid Tracker (http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov/) is great for those of you wanting to assess your food intake as well as your physical activity. We used this site during my nutrition class.
