Eccentric Vegan is a pen name for Elaine Vigneault. She likes the name "Eccentric Vegan" because it uses the same initials as her real name. And well, she's also an eccentric vegan. Elaine's been a vegetarian since 1982 and a vegan since 2007. She loves artichokes, avocados, fried tofu, sweet potatoes, lentils, and cranberry juice. Elaine doesn't always play well with others. Elaine also blogs at ElaineVigneault.com regularly. Almost too regularly.
