About

What kind of food will find on my blog:

• Delicious vegan recipes.
• Sweet vegan baking recipes that everyone will love.
• Vegan cooking recipes made from whole foods and whole ingredients.
• A wide range of recipes with flavors from all over the world. I am particularly partial to Lebanese, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean flavors.
• Quality-tested recipes that are designed for everyone, of all diet types, to enjoy.
• Friendly and accepting of all people and diets.

In addition to food, you might find:

• Charity of the month, most of which will center around animal rights and protection. If you have a charity you would like me to highlight, send me an email and let me know.
• The occasional personal story.

What you will not find on my blog:

• Food made with animal products, except for my earlier recipes which were made while I was a vegetarian.
• Food made from textured soy replacement products (burgers, sausages, etc.)

Oh yeah, and I have a thing for adopting rescued beagles so you might see their pictures here or in the background of my pictures from time to time.

2023 Charitable Donations

My goal in 2023 is to start giving back with some of the profits from Sinful Kitchen. At this point in my blogging, it's not much. However, I do believe every bit counts. The majority of donations will be to animal causes.

March Charity of the Month

Bike MS - Multiple Sclerosis Society

Donation Amount - $50

Nearly 1 million people in the United States live with MS. This is more than double the last reported number and the first national research on MS prevalence since 1975. (Source: Healthine.)

Many people are dedicated to helping those suffering from MS and finding a cure. My amazing cousin Liz is one of them. For 20 years, she has been the captain of her Bike MS crew in Providence, RI. Liz has raised thousands of dollars over this time to help people suffering from MS. If you are looking for a charity donation, please consider donating to Bike MS. While the link is for Liz'a fundraising, the money raised all goes to the same place, The National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

February Charity of the Month

Colorado Beagle Rescue - Denver, Colorado

Donation amount - $50

To say we love Colorado Beagle Rescue (CBR) would be an understatement. We have adopted four dogs from them and are about to foster another one.

CBR volunteers work endless hours coordinating interstate transportation, veterinarian and dental needs, and finding suitable adopters. It is an emotionally exhausting labor of love.

CBR has managed the challenges of rescue and successfully rescued hundreds of beagles. If you are looking for a charity to donate to, please consider CBR. Every little bit counts!

January Charity of the Month

Beagle Basecamp - Conway, Arkansaw

Donation amount - $50

To kick off 2023 donations, I am starting with one of my favorites, Beagle Basecamp. Founded by Hailey Manion, Beagle Basecamp is a group of volunteers that rescues beagles, nurses them back to health, and transports them to cities where there is a high adoption rate.

This group works tirelessly and puts its heart and soul into these dogs. They ask for nothing in return except for the occasional donation to help with their medical costs.

This month they dropped everything and ran to rescue 20 hunting dogs at one location. By the time they arrived, there were 9. All nine will require a lot of care before they are adoptable.

This is just one of many of their stories. Some happy, some sad, some tragic. But they keep working to make this world a little bit better each day.

They are a 501c3 non-profit and accept donations through Paypal Charities.
