Exciting things are afoot today at wannaveg. We have a new contributor joining the team! Please welcome Jessica Schessler, who has joined us to provide some fresh content, valuable insight and a new take on things.

A little background…Jessica is a 21 year old college student majoring in International Affairs, and is attempting to learn Japanese through self study courses (no easy task). She is, among other things, a private pilot, musician, poet, and gamer. She is married, hopelessly in love with the local farmer’s market, and is trying to convince her husband that meat is not a necessary staple.

Besides puppies and long walks on the beach (I made that up), Jessica enjoys getting tattoos and stirring her salad dressing so each piece of lettuce is coated evenly. Apparently she is also a huge fan of scallions. So…there ya go!

Without further ado, I am happy to present Jessica’s first post. Please take a moment to read her thoughts and as always, feel free to share your own.
