Threads for Love

Over Labor Day weekend, I was visiting family in Connecticut and thought it would be a great opportunity to check out a local animal sanctuary.  I came across Safe Haven Farm Sanctuary in Poughquag, NY and was excited to embark on a mini road trip!  After a couple of wrong turns (thanks for nothing Waze!) we finally arrived at the sanctuary.  It is located in a such a beautiful, serene area near the Appalachian Trail.  We were warmly greeted by co-founder, Dr. William Crain who proceeded to give us a tour of the grounds.

Salted Chocolate Avocado Pudding (almond caramel, coconut whipped cream) I had the pleasure to interview Breck Oxford,  founder of Insatiable Vegan and discussed where she finds inspiration for her culinary creations, advice for any new vegans or vegan-curious folks out there, some of her favorite foods to work with and more!  Breck...
