Hi Shannon, that’s for your recipes! I saw in your “work with me” section that you won’t collaborate with projects which contradict your vegan beliefs, which I think is awesome! Did you know that there are pop-up ads on your website promoting eggs? I have seen these ads a few times popping up on the bottom of your pages in the “Ad” bar. Just thought you might want to know since it conflicts with your statement. Thanks!
Shannon @ Yup, it's Vegan says
Hi there, I’ve received this concern many times and I understand how it seems. Unfortunately I don’t have any control over the ads that appear here, they are based on whatever the ad company thinks the active user will want to see and it’s an inexact science. I try to block ads for animal products when I happen to see them, but it’s literally impossible for me to stop that from happening. On the other hand, if I didn’t display ads then I would not be able to keep this site online due to the cost of hosting and maintaining it. Thanks for your understanding!

Curious if you’ve tried the bacon “raw” in the dehydrator?
Shannon @ Yup, it's Vegan says
I have not, sorry!

Hello,
My husband was Paul Obis who founded Vegetarian Times Magazine in 1974. He died last summer from Lewy Body Dementia. I wrote a rudimentary interactive, virtual memorial in his honor because he made such an impact on the Vegetarian Movement.
I am writing you to see if you would be interested in posting about him. His main desire in life was to make a difference. I feel he did through his magazine.
Warmly,
Janeen Obis

I was wondering if you ever do vegan baking without coconut oil? I am severely allergic (which makes being vegan so difficult) and would love to know what I could replace it with in your recipes.
Shannon @ Yup, it's Vegan says
Hi Isabel! Hmm, in baking recipes where I use a blend of coconut and vegetable oils, that (along with the non-dairy milk in the recipe) is generally intended to replace butter, so you could try replacing all of those with an equal amount of coconut-free non-dairy butter substitute. I’m not quite sure what a good 1:1 substitute is for coconut oil alone, such as in my scones, but I’ll definitely keep in mind that there are folks with coconut allergies who may need other options, and try to produce some more baking recipes that don’t rely on it! Thanks for your comment and good luck!
Dawn Willoughby says
Hi SHANNON!
I want to make your oil free mayo for fresh tomatoes. Could I sub dates for agave or brown rice, which my evil twin will polish off in a day?
Shannon @ Yup, it's Vegan says
I haven’t tested out that recipe with dates – but I’m not sure what they’d do to the texture or how many to use. I might be more inclined to just omit the sweetener altogether, or maybe add a splash of apple juice.
Karen Ackerman says
Thank you very much for your timely response. I have attempted to find (to the point of frustration) who sells Coconut yogurt and find 6 million variations–I exaggerate–it was 2 million–example “Greek Coconut yogurt.” What the heck? Could you help me find who or how to make my own Coconut yogurt. I do not own a yogurt maker.
Lastly, would it be acceptable to buy Coconut milk? OOPS that was not the last annoying question–NO stores near me sell unflavored, unsweetened yogurt as you SPECIFICALLY noted. I just want to make your cream cheese (vegan) recipe.
Karen Ackerman says
I have been on this darned computer for more hours that I care to admit trying to find So DeliciousPlain Unsweetened Cultured Coconut Milk. I have found unsweetened coconut milk but NOT CULTURED. Also, you noted you use this as your “nondairy yogurt of choice.” Perhaps I am stuck on the semantics, but how can “milk” be a “yogurt of choice?” Call me stupid.
I would appreciate a response. I honestly do not understand. I would greatly appreciate clarification/elucidation. Thank you!
Shannon @ Yup, it's Vegan says
Karen,
Coconut yogurt is cultured non-dairy milk just as regular yogurt is cultured dairy milk. Hope this helps.
Christine Beard says
Hello! I very recently became vegan (from being vegetarian) and I went first to your website and thank goodness I did!!! I made sticky sweet cauliflower, red pepper and white bean hummus, and just now made vegan mac and cheese and I’m overflowing with gratitude to you, stranger that you are. Thank you so much for doing this and if I can help you edit your posts that is something I have done for work and in a volunteer capacity and would be happy to volunteer to do it for you. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Joanne says
the current ads that are running on your page, have they met your approval? are these your dedicated ad space? like ghirdelli and progressive insurance and say market basket coupons?
Shannon @ Yup, it's Vegan says
Joanne, most of my current ads are managed by a third party and I haven’t had any direct influence over their contents.
Joanne says
