About Us
Hello! We’re Brittany and William, a young married couple from Alberta, Canada. We’re passionate about sharing mouthwatering vegan recipes and helping people lead more compassionate lives! We recently started working with a local rescue and we’re fostering kittens who are too young to be adopted. We post updates on our current fosters on social media.
Over five years ago we made the decision to transition to a vegan lifestyle, but we had no idea the profound effect it would have on our lives. We tackled the challenge as a team and dove in head first. We started stocking our house exclusively with vegan-friendly foods and products while slowly working our way through the remaining non-vegan foods in our house. The transition was swift, but it didn’t take long before we started to get the hang of this whole vegan thing!
The switch to veganism reignited our passion for cooking. Suddenly we were exposed to a whole new world of ingredients and cooking methods we’d never tried before! Who knew that raw cashews would make the most luxuriously creamy base for non-dairy sauces? Or that vanilla soy milk foams up to create the dreamiest of lattés? Oh! Or that a good chickpea salad sandwich will blow any egg salad sandwich out of the water!?
There was once a time when I thought vegan diets seemed restrictive and extreme. Looking back, I can’t believe how wrong I was. Veganism gives us the opportunity to do less harm and lead a healthier and happier life. For us, choosing veganism was our way of having the food on our plate, the clothes on our back, and the products that we rely on day in and day out, align with our morals, ethics, and what’s in our hearts. Once we embraced veganism it it was impossible not to fall in love with this lifestyle.
Welcome to our vegan world!

I’ll definitely be visiting and reading more when i’m not at work. =) I’m in the process of starting my own blog and just brain storming at the moment. I’ve been a pescatarian for over three years and finally made the vegan move on Nov. 1st, which was World Vegan Day/month. =) I’m loving it. Thanks for having such an awesome blog.

I am learning to be a vegan for Better Health but I am really new at this so I need all the help info I can get plus recipes. Thank you
I want to let you know that the pictures in your website/blog are incredible! I just love all of your pictures of all of the vegan food! also the pictures look very professional and that is great for your business, thank you for all of the important info i appreciate it very much. God bless you. 🙂
I am wanting to go back to my “Vegan Lifestyle” which I did pretty good for 2 years however with my work schedule as a full time caregiver for my grandfather, I got off track a little but I am excited to commit myself to living 100% “Vegan” in 2019 and so I was excited to come across your website. I’m looking forward to this journey.
I enjoyed your blog and look forward to reading more and trying some of your recipes.
Thank you so much Joyce!
Hey Brittany and William!
Pretty solid recipe! I made a couple of subtle changes. I used diced cucumber instead of zucchini in the tatziki sauce and opted for no jalapeno. But otherwise kept it the same. The wife and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Thanks!
Sounds delicious! Those Jackfruit & Mushroom Gyros with Tzatziki were a “clean out the fridge experiment”, that’s the only reason I used zucchini instead of cucumber. Using cucumber like you did would be preferred!
I want almonds , peanuts , sunflower seeds and almonds unshelled that the package has no milk dairy and soy. Every time I buy some in the back of the package it says made with dairy , milk and soy. Is there a special company I can get them at? Even the health stores in the bin contain dairy and soy. Thank you.
Hi Sam! Are you allergic to dairy and soy? Most of the time the package will just say “May contain dairy and soy” which isn’t the same as dairy and soy being ingredients in the product. This simply means that milk is not an added ingredient, but a very small amount may have come in contact with the food (from machinery or something). This is really intended for people with severe allergies where even the tiniest amount of cross-contamination with an allergen could cause them to have an allergic reaction. Sometimes companies that don’t even use these ingredients but will add the “may contain “X” ingredients” to the package to cover their butts if someone were to have any adverse reaction. I do not avoid foods that contain only vegan ingredients but could be contaminated with non-vegan allergens.
Hi there
really quick question. I’m a Lacto-vegan milk is the only animal thing I’d eat if unavoidable but I am REALLY confused when it comes to identifying things that use animal things like Rennet. Do you have a link to a page that would help? Thanks
Hi Sam! You’re going to find rennet in cheese, most often in high quality and/or European cheeses. It’s often not labelled as rennet on the ingredients list but instead as “microbial enzymes” (which may or may not be rennet). Some common cheeses that probably contain rennet are Parmesan and Romano cheese, Camembert (and other soft cheeses), Gruyere, emmenthaler, and Gorgonzola.
I noticed your recipes ask for granulated sugar. Do your readers realize that granulated sugar contains bone char (ground cow bones) as a bleaching agent? That’s why the sugar is white. Please use ORGANIC sugar to avoid the animal bones. Thanks
Thanks for your input! This is something I’ve mentioned in a number of places, but not all granulated sugar uses bone char. I use the brand Red Path which does not use bone char. You just need to check with the brand, a lot of them mention whether or not they use bone char in their FAQ’s.
