From Jolinda Hackett, your Guide to Vegetarian Food

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday. Keep the spirit of Thanksgiving going a little longer by supporting one of these fabulous vegetarian and vegan charities. I have personally vetted each one of these organizations (and volunteered or worked for a few of them) and fully support their mission. Help them out by giving them a small show of thanks for the work they do this Giving Tuesday.

Why give?

For many people, being vegetarian is about more than just eating a lot of soy and avoiding your local steakhouse. As a vegetarian, you are confident that you are doing your personal share to reduce your overall environmental footprint and are modeling a lifestyle that promotes healthy bodies and a healthier world. And, chances are, we've all benefited from the hard work these groups have been doing for years to make our world a little more vegan-friendly.

My personal picks

Over the years, I've personally worked for, volunteered with and met with many of these organizations and their staff and leaders, and I personally vouch that your donation to them will be well spent. Of course, it never hurts to do your own research to make sure you agree with me. Here's my picks for the best charities working in the fields of:

It should go without saying that this list is not exhaustive. There are many fine charities other than the ones I've highlighted here, and there are many great groups working on many other issues as well, such as legislative advocacy and food aid.

Classic Recipes

From Danette St. Onge, your Guide to Italian Food

This week's recipe is a modern take on the classic Italian recipe for vitello tonnato (sliced, chilled veal in a creamy tuna-caper sauce). You can make it with either chilled or room-temperature slices of turkey breast, but either way, it's a great way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers. It's also super quick and easy to make and requires minimal cooking (in fact, all you have to do is boil eggs!), another plus after the days-long Thanksgiving cooking marathon.
