About us

Try it Vegan is a family affair.

We simply want to give enough information for you to simply TRY some tasty recipes that range from healthy, to satisfying a craving of comfort food to the flat-out high calorie overload.  For some, Vegan sounds weird and the idea of eating something… vegan … well, noses are scrunched up and minds closed.

We were once “nose scrunchers” ourselves.

We invite you to simply TRY it Vegan!  If it’s once a week… once week a year… an entire year or lifetime… Try it!   (Check  our post from May 1st… this will help you to understand our mission.)

Hi Everyone, I’m Maureen (Mo)- the one responsible for starting this entire venture 🙂  As you see, I’m just your ordinary woman, wife and mom who, like many others, have taken a great interest in the food we eat.  I wasn’t always that way.  Not at all.

Now, more than ever, I get asked about Vegan foods and what we eat, why we eat this way and how they can do the same. 

There is so much to learn, see and taste and I sincerely mean it when I say that the rewards are GREAT!  It’s not about a destination… it’s a journey and one to be enjoyed. 

 

This choice of a diet doesn’t include meat (yes, that does mean no chicken and fish… shocking) or dairy (WHAT?  No Cheese??  No… and after one gets over the addiction, the body doesn’t crave it and thanks you in the form of great skin and many other ways.)  In fact, our way of eating originated back in 2009 simply because I was doctor hopping, trying to find a cure for an onset of adult cystic acne and after dodging expensive laser surgery and nasty side effects of medication, I learned that my previous diet was creating havoc on my body.  I had picked up Alicia Silverstone’s book, “The Kind Diet” and a journey I never expected to take, began.

This is simply the easiest way for me to pass along my recipes, my finds and brand suggestions that I have come across.  Vegan foods are becoming much easier to find and there are the good, the bad and the flat-out NASTY.
