I can't handle the preciousness of the thrid pic! So sweet! I really look forward to the pregnancy and healthy baby post!!

Im looking forward to the post as well. I REALLY want to have a vegan pregancy when the time comes. My family might dissaprove and becuz of that...i want to have a plan down to show them that I can have a healthy pregnancy being vegan.

Jazz, whenever people talk about how babies need meat  (clearly they should start making teething rings out of jerky), I show them this:

I love it when people talk about vegan moms!  I am a vegan and was during my pregnancy.  I had so much energy and felt good about how I was contributing to the little life growing inside.
Rock on vegan moms, rock on!

Geneva is the cutest baby!

wow, Alicia, you are so inspiring to me in so many ways!! since becoming a vegan my life has become so rich and i've become so blissfully happy! I love learning new recipes and I can't WAIT to try this pumpkin cheesecake recipe!! you are amazing :-)

Hi AliciaThese recipes look awesome!  We wish you and Christopher much success and happiness in a future with your own children as I'm sure you are excited about.Good luck with that.

Alicia, I just hardly know what to say, I'm experiencing joy just looking at the pics and seeing the look on your face...WOW...a little choked up, here...I know that feeling from my nephews and niece. <3  Lalanya's just beautiful and STILL has that glow and the guys look sooooo happy!  (I assume Michael is the handsome gent holding Geneva (great name!) in the first pic?)

Alicia, what a great post! These recipes look fantastic. We don't have thankgiving day in Australia but these look good enough for Christmas. I'm interested to read the vegan pregnancy blog too. I'm a mum of 2 little ones, with another on the way. My oldest is almost 5 and I've been vegan 8 years. I think it was assumed I would just start eating meat/dairy again when I first fell pregnant. Foolish people! I had no complications with my pregnancies or during child birth. No drugs, no tearing. I'm looking forward to (hoping for) more of the same come February when this one's due. :o) I hope the vegan pregnancy blog helps lots of mums-to-be out there. Bring armed with information is the key.

Hi Alicia!  Thanks for sharing your evening out with all fo us.  The meal looked fantastic!  I already have 2 beautiful little girls and I would love to have more children someday.  The vegan pregnancy blog is a great idea.  I am looking forward to reading it as I was a vegetarian, not a vegan,  in my prior pregnancies.  Can't wait to read all of the helpful tips!...Oh, and congrats to Geneva's parens!  What a beautiful baby girl! :)

For cheesecake recipe - how many oz of pumpkin.  It calls for a portion of a can.  Is that a 15oz can, 30oz???

Such beautiful pictures and it looks like you all had a wonderful time together.  Geneva is gorgeous!!  I would love to read about Laylana's vegan pregnancy!

Hi Alicia, thank you for everything you're doing it is so greatly appreciated.  I am so glad you had an awesome early Thanksgiving and I will definitly try out the recipes you've posted.  I will keep you posted and let you know how they turn out. Much love!!!

Alicia! I've been vegan for 2 years now, and I can confidently say you have written the perfect book. It's exactly the book I would have written myself. It includes EVERYTHING, all the bits and pieces of other books, together in one book that's a joy to read. I also appreciate your candid honesty; you come across very real and human, like a friend. I believe you will convince many people to adopt a more compassionate way of life. The animals thank you!
