MeShell
I am into digital communication, food security, animal welfare, human rights, and humanizing technology. Once upon a time I had a blog called Prairie Vegan – but it is no more, since becoming citified. When I’m not making nerdy things happen with code, I’m probably volunteering, tending to foster cats (and our own two cats), eating, taking pictures, and doing random classes on Coursera.
I’ve been vegan for over half of my life, and it’s been an interesting and exciting journey to watch the cuisine and movement evolve.
If you would like a product or cookbook review please feel free to email me.
I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with my partner JC, and our two cats – Kes & Emmie, and usually 1 or 2 Toronto Cat Rescue foster cats.
JC
JC is a professional nerd, and has been involved in the magical and admirable pursuit of changing the way people read. MeShell is madly in love with him (You will also frequently see him appear in Things I Love Thursday posts), and thinks/knows he’s brilliant (and yes – she’s writing this bio.)
He has a blog (which he never updates.)
Emmiecat
is a nutty ginger cat with a twitter account (@emmiecat), but she’s never online enough to update. She enjoys waking her humans’ up by bringing a toy mouse onto the bed and playing with it, or wrapping herself around MeShell’s head and purring. It works every time. You can read her adoption story here.
Her favourite places to hang out are on MeShell’s shoulder, and any available windowsill
She’s also very chatty:
Kes
Kes is the newest edition to our family, originally starting out as a foster cat (with her brother Neelix), but eventually becoming a permanent cat. She’s still a kitten so she’s full of energy, and helps keep Emmie busy. She does not have a twitter account (yet.)
Hi! I am recently experimenting with a vegan life and share a passion for food with you. I would love to participate in the food swap but am not a blogger…is there any way I can?
Thanks!
Hi Kelly, you don’t have to be a blogger to participate in the food swap you just need to be open to writing a guest post on your partners blog (if they would like you to)

Hi MeShell!
My name is Carolyn Fielding and I do communications for Prairie Girl Bakery located in Toronto. We’ve recently been looking into some of Toronto’s best vegan and vegetarian blogs and came across yours. Prairie Girl Bakery is very excited to be launching our new vegan cupcakes on June 10th and we would love for you to try them! We would like to offer you a complimentary sample of our vegan cupcakes and in turn hopefully get your feedback. This is new territory for our bakery and would love to get the opinions of respected vegan critics.
Let us know if this is something that you’re interested in. Alternatively, we’re open to exploring any other collaboration ideas you might have. You can reach me via email. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Carolyn
