Cruelty Free Easter

Easter may seem like a challenging holiday for vegetarians, but it can be a fun adventure.  This is an opportunity to enjoy a variety of great dishes, and at the same time, share the bounty of vegetarian food with your non-veggie friends and family. 

I'm looking forward to hearing your holiday stories and your suggestions for a successful Vegetarian Easter. I'd also love to hear from meat-eaters that may be concerned about providing alternatives to their vegetarian guests.

No Easter Bunnies 

bunnies are not good Easter gifts

Easter Bunnies are not good gifts for children. They can live for 10 years and they require a great deal of specialized care and attention. Too many unwanted bunnies are set free after the family decides they cannot keep them. This is very cruel, because pet rabbits do not have the skills to survive in the wild.

Vegetarian Groceries 

from Worthington and Loma Linda

Quick and easy meat substitutes that will satisfy your carnivore friends.

Loma Linda Swiss Stake with Gravy, 13-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

These are tasty right from the can. Served with plenty of veggies and potatoes and you have a quick and easy dinner.

Loma Linda Tender Rounds, 19-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

These are perfect meatball replacements. I cook them in marinara sauce for spaghetti and meatballs that would fool any carnivore. They are also fantastic when added to a creamy sauce for a vegetarian Swedish meatball or stroganoff alternative.

Worthington Vegetarian Burger, 20-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

This is one of the most versatile products in the line. Add this to chili for a hearty vegetarian feast that everyone will love. We also use this for vegetarian taco nights, sloppy joes, or veggie meatloaf.

Worthington Veja-Links, 19-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

Our family thinks these are the tastiest of all veggie dogs. They have a nice firmness and a great taste that everyone seems to love. We give these to our carnivore friends to provide a healthy alternative to traditional barbeque fare.

Please help the ferrets 

With the tough economy, charities are really struggling. Many families are forced to surrender their ferrets due to the loss of their jobs and homes. The ferrets need your help now more than ever.

Ferrets Unlimited is a non-profit, no kill ferret shelter in Cleveland, Ohio.

We at Squidoo passionately believe in creating new ways to support good causes online. By making a donation to Ferrets Unlimited Ferret Shelter from this page, you are sending money directly to that organization, in whatever amount you want. We don't touch it. We don't even see it. The author of this page doesn't either. And if you made it this far, thanks for caring.
