2. Receiving my July/August edition of VegNews in the mail yesterday!
3. Reading in my VegNews about this awesome fact:
"Last October, Baltimore City Public schools banished meat from their Monday lunch menus. The change affected more than 80,000 students and made the district the first school system in America to adopt Meat-Free Mondays. School officials report that the program has made Monday the most popular lunch day of the week, and that preparing vegetarian meals benefits its budget, as cruelty-free cooking costs 20 cents less per meal than serving meat."
Go Baltimore! Alright, who's next?
4. Also discovering through VegNews the talents of vegan chef and baker Chloe Coscarelli, who happens to be the latest winner of Cupcake Wars on the Food Network!
Check out this awesome video of Chloe on VegNews TV making two fun and delicious 4th of July desserts!
