Vegan in Bellingham Blog Stuff


Apologies for not updating yesterday, which is what I usually do on Sundays. Yesterday was my husband's birthday and I felt more like celebrating than blogging! Additionally, I have been working on another guest post for the Vegan Delights Series on the Downtown Bellingham Partnership blog, and this time the topic will be vegan desserts. There are a number of great options to choose from in downtown Bellingham, as I am sure most of you already know, and it's been fun getting to "research" this particular topic...

I also worked a bit today on revamping and updating this blog, unlinking and suppressing some old posts that are out-of-date, and adding some notes to some  reviews of restaurants that I still love but haven't written about in awhile. I plan on continuing to make updates and improvements to this site, and I also hope to start making regular updates to my neglected site, Vegan Product Reviews as well so watch for those posts coming soon!

In the meantime, thanks for being patient with me and thanks for continually inspiring me to  keep going with these projects. You guys are the reason I keep working on all of this stuff and it's because of the connections I make with all of you that this is so rewarding.

Which brings me to my last topic for today... I am interested in launching a series of my own on this blog called "Vegans in Bellingham." I am imagining a regular (monthly or every-other-monthly) feature of a vegan who lives in Bellingham. It would include a photo of their choice + a Q&A section about being vegan and being vegan in Bellingham. It would be another fun way for the vegans in this community to connect with each other, and I already have a few people in mind who I may be hitting up for participation in this series! If you are someone who is interested, please email me at veganinbellingham@gmail.com.  (And for the record, you don't necessarily  need to be "in" Belingham to participate. Bring it on Skagit & Whatcom County vegans, as well as our BC neighbors! Vegan connections don't need to be restricted by geographical boundaries.) :)

I was wondering if anyone knows where to find the new Beast Burger by Beyond Meat. It's a quarter pounder that actually sizzles in the pan. I wonder if it is a Whole Foods exclusive. I just moved here from Minneapolis where I worked at Whole Foods. Also, isn't Vegan in Bellingham on facebook? What a great way to communicate if it were 😀

Thanks to those of you who have reached out to me about being featured in the series I am developing about local vegans. I look forward to connecting with you all more in the very near future. And a special thanks to my very first "volunteer" who I will be introducing you all to very soon!

Hi Vagabondastrologer! Welcome to Bellingham! In answer to your questions, the new Beast Burger can be found at Safeway! And sorry to disappoint you, but FB is just not my thing. Although I am sure you can find other local vegans on it. And I am on Twitter and really enjoy communicating via that particular platform, if that's of any interest to you.

Ambo Ethiopian: 902 N State Street #104

The moment I have been dreaming of for over a year now has finally happened--Mulunesh Belay has opened Ambo Ethiopian again, now in it's new location!  As soon as I heard the news, I knew I would be there for the very first moment that she opened. I did not want to miss a moment and I could barely stand the waiting. Yesterday, November 16, 2019, was the grand opening in the new restaurant on N. State Street, and my husband and I went with some friends to celebrate and once again enjoy Mulu's amazingly delicious cuisine. (And yes, we were the very first ones there). I ordered the kale and yellow split peas and everything was just as good as I had remembered. I am already planning when I can eat there again (which will be tomorrow evening, in case you are wondering, followed most likely by multiple evenings this week!!). Over this past year, I have missed the delicious vegan food from Ambo Ethiopian, and Mulu's beautiful bright smile, more than I can say, and I am...

Bayou on Bay: 1300 Bay Street

Not only does Bayou have several vegan options on their menu, they also have weekend vegan brunch options! If you have not yet tried the vegan hash, I recommend it.  This mouth-watering dish takes potatoes, avocado, onions, other veggies--cooked just right and combined with the perfect amount of seasoning--to create a fantastic dish you will want to eat again and again. Weekends are just that much better when you can incorporate brunch at Bayou into them!

Pigs Peace Sanctuary: 27631 56th Ave NW, Stanwood, WA

I can't believe I have wanted to visit the Pigs Peace Sanctuary for nearly 20 years, and then finally, yesterday, my wish came true. And the experience was truly amazing. If you are not yet familiar with the Pigs Peace Sanctuary, I encourage you to learn more about it. We are so lucky to have such a valuable place so nearby Bellingham. Not only does it provide a safe place for rescued animals to recover from trauma and live out their lives in peace and happiness, it also offers humans a place to connect with and learn more about these beautiful, often misunderstood creatures.  Judy Woods and  the volunteers that help her are doing really incredible work and you cannot help but be moved by the stories of bravery, survival, recovery, and connection that Judy shares with you when you visit the sanctuary. Tour appointments have to be scheduled and approved with Judy in advance, and people are eligible to sign up as volunteers with the sanctuary after attending a tour. My...
