The solstice is such a special time of year!  The shortest day and the longest day.. the shortest night and the longest night.  A night of magic to celebrate as the wheel of the year turns.  And great celebrations deserve great meals!  

A lot of people ask me how to make their cooking kinder to animals.. so I’ve included some cruelty -free  recipes that our daughter Tamsin found.  Awesome for any occasion .. and perfect inspiration for your solstice or Christmas celebration.

Enjoy a feast that spreads the Kindness Revolution for Animals, while blowing away your family and guests.

Win win!!
