Greetings from our nation's capital! Pop quiz: What do Michelle Obama and PETA have in common? No, it's not our toned biceps. Yes, we are both anti-fur, but that's not what I'm getting at either. It's that we both have volunteered with a great organization called Miriam's Kitchen. Miriam's Kitchen is a D.C. based nonprofit that provides free meals and support services to the homeless.
Since PETA is relatively new to the neighborhood, we wanted to pitch in and help out the community. And what better way to do just that than with vegan pancakes?
Today we had the great opportunity to cook and serve Miriam's first vegan breakfast in the history of the organization.
On the menu:
Fluffy vegan pancakes with strawberry topping and non-Canadian Maple syrup
Fruit salad
Cereal with soy milk
Hearty veggie chili and brown rice
Salad
Coffee with soy milk and orange juice
At first, the vegan breakfast was met with some skepticism, but the empty plates at the end of service spoke for itself. Here are some reviews of some of the people I spoke with:
"It's actually good!"
"I wish they had soy milk every day. I am allergic to cow's milk, and it tastes better."
"They're trying to makes us healthy up in here!"
Indeed we are.

I love that comment. Its true that all it takes is a little push. People don't realize what they are missing out on.
