University in Texas Opens Vegan Dining Hall
There’s probably a world where this kind of news isn’t shocking enough to print, but we aren’t there yet. The University of North Texas, home of the Mean Green (which we argue is a weird mascot, but ok) smack in the steak-loving, cattle ranching, bull riding capital of the country, has opened a vegan dining hall.
Meatless Monday: Green Goddess Turkey Sandwich
We remain true to our sandwich fan status this Meatless Monday. It's all about the easy, but in this case, it's also about the delicious. Don't underestimate the beauty of Tofurkey, beyond the slightly weird (but tasty) Tofurkey Thanksgiving roast. This sandwich deserves to be worshipped, hence its name.
Meatless Monday: Tacos
Who doesn't love a good taco? And, who doesn't love the fact that you can make a good taco in practically zero point 4 seconds? Well, we may be exaggerating a bit on that, but the truth is that tacos are delicious, can be nutritious (this recipe is!) and are easy to make. Plus, they tend to be loved even by the pickiest of eaters (we're talking to you, kids!).
Red Meat Linked to Type 2 Diabetes
We’ve got bad news for the bacon-lovers out there. A new study by the Harvard School of Public Health has found that even a modest consumption of processed or red meat significantly increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. Somewhere, cows are rejoicing and hoping for widespread awareness.
Meatless Monday: Eggless Salad Sandwich
In spite of the terrible combination of sun and mayonnaise, egg salad sandwiches and lazy summer days seem to go together. Here’s a vegan alternative that will keep your taste buds happy and your tummy full.
Vegetarian Crowned Germany’s Strongest Man
We love a good stereotype buster, and we’re always pleased to report on vegan and vegetarian athletes. A while ago we told you about Rob Bogwood, one of the top arm wrestlers in the US and a committed vegan, proving muscle and meat are not mutually inclusive. But wait, there’s more.
Meatless Monday: BLT
Even vegans can crave a good BLT every now and again. Luckily, the vegan version of it won't kills your arteries or cost you 1,000 calories. Here's a quick and easy way to give in to your cravings for a hearty, yummy sandwich.
Meatless Monday: BBQ Chicken Wrap
Who has time to slave over a hot stove this time of year? Not us, and not you. Luckily, here's a quick and easy dinner (or lunch) that is sure to satisfy with very little work to be done. It's a yummy, healthy wrap. And it's a star. You say it's a "wrap star." Ugh. We're so sorry. We had to.
Meatless Monday: Blue Cheese Burger
We’ve got another burger recipe for you (because no one loves a good veggie burger like everyone here at TGB), but this one we like to call “The One.” You will not be disappointed with the ease of this recipe, nor the mouth-watering result. Simply put: this will blow your mind!
Yankee Stadium Adds Hip Vegan Treats to Concessions
Listen, just because you’re at a baseball game, it doesn’t mean that you have to eat processed meat (ie: hot dogs) and fake cheese (ie: nachos). Increasingly, baseball parks are offering healthier options and even vegetarian and (gasp) vegan options! Very few people love the New York Yankees (though we don’t hate you if you do), but nobody can complain about the healthier and cruelty free move that Yankee Stadium is making by offering a popular, high-end vegan concession option.
