Food and Feasting: The 12 (Vegan) Days of Christmas
Whereas the period BEFORE Christmas has historically been about contemplation and self-reflection, the period starting AT Christmas and going for 12 days thereafter is all about feasting, revelry, merriment!
In today's episode, I argue that feasting and festivities are a lot more meaningful when they follow a period of deprivation. I also share my Tudor-style menu for the 12 days of Christmas and encourage you to check out the new recipe bundle of recipes inspired by the song, The 12 Days of Christmas. Enjoy!

Forbidden Meat: Fasting and Abstinence During Advent
Abstaining from meat, dairy, and eggs during religious holidays has been a tradition for centuries in many religions. In Christianity, for example, during Lent (40 days prior to Easter) and Advent (40 days prior to Christmas), parishioners were forbidden to consume animal flesh as well as as dairy, cheese, and eggs.
In today's episode, we explore this history and demonstrate that not eating animal products was more common than not, especially during the period of contemplation and contrition leading up to the holy days of Easter and Christmas. I share my own experience growing up Catholic, my memories of Fish Fridays, and the meaning of a common English word whose origins are steeped in religious abstinence.

Animal-Themed Halloween Films (Re-Broadcast)
It's that time of year for scary films, and there are a number that involve animals! But don't worry! I DO NOT recommend films in which animals are the victims of gruesome violence. Trust me.
So, grab some popcorn, get a pen and paper, and settle into this episode where I share my suggestions for films that are perfect for Halloween — for kids and adults alike.

Customer Reviews
Favorite podcast!
Colleen is extremely well-researched and thorough on every topic that she addresses. I have learned so much through the years, and continue to learn so much from Colleen. Colleen’s content extends beyond providing the listener with tools to remain a joyful vegan, into providing inspiration on how to live a full and meaningful life. My day is made when I see a new episode of Food for Thought in my podcast feed!

She’s an inspiration
Reading her books lift up my spirits.
Thank you for all your work and uplifting words Colleen!.
