The headline: critter-free cooking. The story: a local woman starts her own vegan cooking show. Hmmm... sound familiar? It's "Rhymes with Vegan," what else? :)
'The Bridge', a local newspaper in the Twin Cities, did a two-page spread on "Rhymes with Vegan," and featured it in the "Chow" section of their January edition. A local reporter and photographer covered the latest filming of the show, and chatted with Meagan about her plans and goals. In addition to a great story, the article includes two of Meagan's favorite chili recipes. Check it out!
