It's only February and too early to abandon those New Year's Resolutions. Come share your war stories from the gym and seek inspiration from your fellow runners (or dancers) (or boxers) (or whatever) in Setting Goals. The Hottest Vegan Loot. Want the inside scoop on the latest and greatest vegan goodies? VegWebbers have their ear to the ground and they're happily sharing their secrets. From brand-new artisan cookie dough to chocolate skittles (they're vegan!?), we're shedding the light on the most delightful new vegan finds! St. Patty's Day! It's time for rainbows, leprechauns, and everything green! That's right, St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner and we've got all the links, contests, recipes, and giveaways to help you celebrate. So raise a glass of (green) beer to our new St Patrick's Day page! Oh, and the page should officially be up at midnight tonight so if you get there a little early, please stare lovingly at the Valentine's Day page until then. Something is brewing... Being vegan means that you create much of your food from scratch. But what about your drinks? Many beers aren't vegan, they can contain gelatin and isinglass (dried fish bladder). Gross! If you brew your own, you can make sure the process is 100 percent vegan and on top of that, you get to add all kinds of awesome flavors... like chocolate! It always comes back to candy with me. Talk strategy with fellow beer fans in HomeBrew.
I was a huge dork growing up so the highlight of my teenage mall visits wasn't making out with boys in the multiplex but rather, sneaking to Orange Julius for a smoothie or two. They were my absolute favorite treat. Basically a creamsicle in a cup, the glorious brain freeze was more than worth it. I recently learned that my favorite treats are made with milk, eggs, and all sorts of gross stuff like corn syrup and artifical flavoring. Another one of my childhood dreams, destroyed. Sometimes I think ignorance is bliss and then I remember, Hey! I can totally veganize that! I took one for the team and spent many difficult hours in the kitchen testing different flavor combos. I think I finally have it. A perfectly creamy, orangy smoothie that takes me right back to afternoons spent trying on totally age inappropriate clothes at Wet Seal. What? You know you did, too! What You Need:
1 large orange, cut into wedges Combine all ingredients in a blender on high until smooth. 
Each week, we highlight a member of the VegWeb community who goes above and beyond to make VegWeb a truly excellent place to spend time on the internet. This week, meet "_algae_!" VegWebber since? Apparently I registered on August 7, 2006. I came here for recipes well before that, but I didn't start posting on the forums until sometime in 2008. Where do you call home? I'm from Brookline, Massachusetts, but my current home is in Berlin, Germany. Favorite VegWeb recipe to make for non-vegans? I often make a version of this Veggie Pot Pie and a version of Jenny's Famous Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal, Coconut, Walnut Cookies that I just call everything cookies. They're really good with cranberries. #1 cooking secret/tip? Don't be afraid to use a little salt. Mom, I'm talking to you. Ice cream or French fries? Definitely ice cream.
Read _algae_'s entire interview and tell her how awesome she is in the Superstar VegWebber thread!
