Ever since I saw that hilarious Belvita commercial, I wondered if the breakfast biscuits were vegan and it wasn't until yesterday I finally tried them out. The crunchy belVitas should be vegan-friendly, unless they changed the ingredients. However, the soft belVitas are not vegan. When buying products from a non-vegan company (or any product really), always read the ingredient list. On the road, looking...
Looking back on the first year: From film reviews to (vegan) product reviews, the discussion of past and present television series as well as music-related posts, and a few vegan recipes, Films and Veganism presents a compiled overview of a few of those favorites. Films 1. PASSION PLAY - Mixed-genre Romance 2. HIT & RUN - Comedy Adventure 3. WELCOME TO THE RILEYS...
In a world of pretentious yuppies and superficial social-climbing aristocrats, it just wouldn't make sense for all of them to keep their heads on straight and remain, if ever were, sane. American Psycho is the satirical film depicting this concept through Christian Bale's performance of a character whose mind slowly but forcefully shatters while his psychological reality goes with it. It is also...
Amy's Margherita pizza is a nicely delicious, easy to make frozen favorite. It is probably the best vegan frozen pizzas available.. With a flavorful sauce, great seasonings, and lightly sprinkled Daiya vegan cheeze, this pizza will have you eating it whole. The crust is also soft and possibly comparable to a flatbread.. I don't know about anyone else who has tried frozen vegan pizzas but...
After watching the third episode, and observing its growing explosion of humor, I knew this was going to be a well-received series. The recently Emmy-nominated show that not only revolves around Charlie Sheen but also gave him a somewhat-comeback to television, provided several on-screen cameos, and welcomed a few unfamiliar faces to the mainstream television is Anger Management. Anger Management, with a pretty...

Reason for the title: in case the cookies didn't turn out... they would end up as almost cookies. Thus, the name "or something like it" and the discussion of the movie Life or Something Like It. Life or Something Like It Angelina Jolie. Life or Something Like It. 20th Century Fox. 2002. Film Still. I love seeing Angelina Jolie kicking ass in action...
This is probably one of my favorite characters bitingly depicted by Cameron Diaz. The "bad teacher" Elizabeth character is the complete opposite to those common typecast super sweet and nice, seen earlier in Diaz's career. Instead, she portrays an outrageous, self-serving, callus teacher with a sailor tongue-- and she does it well. Cameron Diaz. Bad Teacher (2012). Movie Poster. Although Diaz's character is...
Welcome to the Rileys (2010) is an independent drama with a deep, captivating cast and a storyline that uncomfortably unravels its characters in an intricate and obvious manner. It has a way of reflecting the reality that everyone has their own personal problems and own way of trying to cope with whatever those problems may be. Kristen Stewart. Welcome to the Rileys. 2010....
For a while, I've been re-thinking and re-evaluating my diet; wanting to alter it by adding more fruits and vegetables, while taking in less prepackaged and processed foods. So I figure the in-between is always a good idea: less processed foods and more raw, real, whole, clean foods. And that's what I've been doing. So the first makeshift recipe to reflect the slight...
