Today is only one week after checking out and we are truly missing our little dorm room at Pitt’s Johnstown campus. A secluded, wooded oasis home to many chipmunks, squirrels and bunny rabbits but more importantly, at least for this blog post, the venue for Vegetarian Summerfest.
Summer is almost here so filling the kitchen with citrus cake aroma is a must! Try this ecoRDN dessert for a sweet bit of Summer in every bite!

If you are eco-minded like ecoRDN then you will know the 22nd of April was Earth Day. You could also just happen to own a calendar. Earth day has been a thing since 1970. The concept, a result of the pretty uncool acts against the planet at that time. Events such as the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, CA, the widespread use of leaded-gas guzzling v8 engines and increased pollutants created by industrialization to name only a few.
Seitan is wheat gluten made from washing wheat flour dough with water until the starch has been removed. The leftovers are the elastic insoluble gluten which is then cooked into seitan.
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield are sugar superheroes, courageous candymen, bringers of caloric joy. Thank the gooey gods neither had success within the world of higher-education. As you do when institutional life kicks you in the pants, these childhood friends decided to take an ice-cream making correspondence course through Penn State University and opened their first ice-cream parlor in Burlington, Vermont on May 5, 1978. And thus, to this day, they’ve spread sprinkles and chunks of joy throughout the land for *everyone!
Pittsburghers and beyond LOVE Thai Gourmet!
Thai Gourmet is a Steel City staple. Located at 4505 Liberty Avenue in a cozy lunchroom with table and counter seating, Thai Gourmet offers a relaxed environment and an abundance of vegan-friendly foods.
ecoRDN took to the streets on Easter Sunday and walked 13 miles during another epic bout of urban hiking. The destination? Zenith Tea Room in Pittsburgh’s Southside for their famous Sunday brunch!
Let it sink in; ALL-VEGAN, EVERYTHING! Vegan here and vegan there. Vegan, vegan everywhere!
All India Restaurant is one of 12 Indian restaurant’s in the Central Pittsburgh area.
‘Central’ Pittsburgh spans downtown to Wilkinsburg and Highland Park to Southside, all walkable and bikeable locations (mostly).
What made us go all-in for All India is first the Vegan Pittsburgh sticker on the door. Vegan Pittsburgh researches and works with food sellers to verify and clearly list all plant-based friendly items on their menus. Restaurants that meet Vegan Pittsburgh’s criteria are given a cool decal to proudly display their plant-based awesomeness to the hungry masses. It makes the search much easier for vegan foodies, Vegan Pittsburgh does all the legwork, we the foodies have but to seek & destroy.
