Wouldn't that be a grrrr-eat way to start off the day? Well, if you go to last year's winner of our "Most Vegetarian-Friendly Colleges" contest, Northwestern University, that dream could be a reality!

It's not just Northwestern that's adding amazing vegetarian and vegan options though; it's a nationwide trend! Students are using the free and easy materials from our "Veganize Your Cafeteria" campaign pack to add AMAZING dishes to the menu!

So what we want to know is, how are the options at your school? Do you go to a school like the University of California - Berkeley, which offers Southwest tofu breakfast scramble, and vegan "chicken" nuggets? Does your school at least offer veggieburgers? Comment below to let us know. Make sure to mention your school name, and as many specific dishes as possible!

I love Ellen, and I'm not ashamed to say so. She's just so gosh-darned spunky, isn't she?

That's why we were all so thrilled to see that she hosted Skinny Bitch authors Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin on the show last Friday, talking all about the benefits of a vegan diet!

Thankfully, peta2 is always ahead of the trends. That's why we hosted a peta2 event at the University of California - Los Angeles a few weeks ago, featuring Rory herself! The event was standing-room-only, and she even took the time to record this fun interview for all you blog-readers!

Pretty awesome, eh??

In fact, it's gotten me so excited about vegan food, I think it's time to give away a copy of the best-selling Skinny Bitch in the Kitch cookbook to one of you lucky readers!



To win it, we'll play a game! I'm thinking of MY FAVORITE vegan snack food on Earth. It can be found in every major grocery store, is on our Accidentally Vegan list, and is deeeeelish! If you are the first to guess it by commenting below, you'll win a free copy of the book!

Ready...set...go!

Free Stuff Friday: Vegan Marshmallow Maker! May 9, 2008

I was at a bonfire the other day and I was thinking about how I much I missed roasting marshmallows. Most marshmallows contain gelatin (aka - crushed up animal bones), which is disgusting!

Then I came to work and found out that we have a vegan marshmallow making kit to give away! I know there are others like me out there who are jonesing for some summertime marshmallow roasting action, and today is your lucky day!

Amy, who writes PETA's VegCooking Blog, tested the kit out and gave it rave reviews. She says the instructions are pretty simple, but you do need some special tools, namely a candy thermometer and a standing mixer. Check out the chocolate-marshmallow sandwich she made:


Want to make your own? One lucky person with a sweet tooth will win this kit from Angel Foods. Comment below with what you will do with the vegan marshmallows if you win!

This contest ends May 23, 2008 and the winner will be chosen and notified by May 30, 2008.

Round 3: Vote For The Cutest Food August 23, 2007

Ok this is the third and final round we're doing of these 'Cutest Food' blogs. The winner from this one will face off with the first round winner, teddy bear, and the second round winner, penguin, to see which is the overall best bento box. Look for that blog to be posted sometime next week.

For now, however, check out these new vegan creations from the talented Asia, and comment back to vote for your favorite!

I mean, I'm a bit biased towards 'PETA,' but who can really compare the world's largest animal rights organization to a cute sheep or the fun-filled sport of bowling?! It's all so different— so overwhelming— so incredible!

Vote now. Comment and let's hear what you have to say.
