Hello there! I’m Jocelyn! Welcome to my blog, the Vegan Hostess!<\/p>\n
Vegan blogger. Non-profit professional. Lawyer. Cat lover. Coffee drinker. Potluck fanatic. Game night enthusiast.<\/p>\n I’ve been vegan for almost eight years – since June 2009. I became a vegetarian at age twelve by betting a friend I could go longer without eating chicken nuggets. That was more than a decade and a half ago! Apparently, I only\u00a0liked chicken nuggets because I haven’t eaten\u00a0meat since that day. I think it’s safe to say I won that bet!<\/p>\n At first I didn’t make my lifestyle change for any political or ethical reasons\u2014I was too young for that. However, I have come to adopt that reasoning as well. I believe that we should try to do the best we can while we’re on this planet, and that includes being good to those we share it with\u2014including animals.<\/p>\n So yes, I’m vegan, and I love to cook and host dinners\/ parties, hence the name of this blog. Occasionally, you\u2019ll find a recipe for a potluck ready dish or one of my staple desserts. More often you will find vegan deals and coupons, reviews of recipes, restaurants, and cookbooks, and vegan-friendly products and restaurants.<\/p>\n Additionally, I hope that you will find some inspiration and perhaps the motivation to try something new.<\/p>\n Please feel free to reach out to me and share your thoughts!<\/p>\n xo<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello there!
