Vegetarian Easter

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.

    Hope you have had a lovely Easter with your family. I had a good one. I did all the cooking - quite pleased to see them smiling when they saw all the food on the table - veggies included. Right now, just lens-hopping to see what people did on Easter Sunday and I found your lens.
