It’s My Blogiversary!!!

I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for a year – it’s been so much fun! As much as I enjoy sharing recipes and writing posts about my plant-based journey what I love most about my blog is YOU! Yes, you, my readers and all of the people I’ve connected with through Honk If You’re Vegan. You’re like my second family and I love you guys SO much!

A BIG thank you to all of you for reading and for your support. That’s the main thing I wanted to say, but I’m also going to share my favorite posts of the year. There’s a little something for everyone here. Enjoy!

But before I get to that, I want to mention that I’ll be on vacation next week so I won’t be blogging for a while. I’ll see you all in mid March when I get home.

Now here’s my Blogiversary roundup:

Animal Welfare

After transitioning to a plant-strong diet for my health, I discovered how badly the animals that we eat are treated on factory farms. This made me want to help animals to live better lives.
