about
Hi, I’m Kristen. I’m a twenty-something southern girl, tried and true… born in Louisiana, and raised in Houston, Texas. I currently reside in Austin, with my kitten, Milo. Austin is such a great city, and super vegan friendly! I went vegan in April of 2008, after being Vegetarian for 3 years. One of my favorite things to do in the kitchen is “veganize” popular foods and my favorite non-vegan dishes. My dream is to own a vegan bakery, and I’m currently in culinary school trying to see that out. I’m also (slowly) working on a Vegan Guide to Austin, which you can find at AustinVeganGuide.com. :) I love taking pictures of food, traveling, sewing, odd shaped pasta, museums, to-do lists, sun light, theme parks, and bright colors.
Veganism is my form of personal activism. I believe that choosing a cruelty free diet is a huge way to make an impact on our bodies, our world, and our society. You’d be suprised how easy and delicious it is, too. Eating locally and “in season” is something that I’ve recently started trying to incorperate into my life, because just as choosing vegetables over animal products affects many aspects of life, eating locally impacts our environment as well.
