Those of you who have been following my blog for awhile know that I occasionally volunteer to help artists in exchange for art.

Being happy while earning less
| February 24, 2011 | Posted by thefrugalvegan under Finance & Budgets, General Content & Rants |
Have you ever been afraid to leave a job because of its good salary? When people are not happy at work anymore and it’s time to move on it is tough for most to write that resignation letter and even harder to try and find another job. More often than not, people will spend based…
Vegan Poutine Recipe
| February 24, 2011 | Posted by thefrugalvegan under Food Recipes |
I’m originally from Montreal and grew up with poutine (basically, fries with cheese curds and gravy on top). The best ones I have had are from out of a truck or some mom&pop greasy spoon. Although not the healthiest treat in the world, it is so good, definitely comfort food. Here is a vegan recipe…

Last week, my partner had to bring in the car to get the oil changed. They had a sign up advertising the use of nitrogen in your tires. The sale price was $9.99. So he decided to go for it. Why nitrogen instead of compressed air? I admit, this just seemed like another way for…
Amazing Vegan Pate
| February 18, 2011 | Posted by thefrugalvegan under Food Recipes |
This is something I always bring at potlucks or dinners where there will be meat-eaters present. It’s always a HUGE hit and I get asked for the recipe every time I bring it. For those who think vegetarians only eat “rabbit food”, this is one sure way to convince them otherwise! Amazing Vegan Pate 1…
