Welcome to Food for Thought, the place to explore, celebrate and manifest a life motivated and defined by unconditional

compassion and optimal wellness.

My name is Colleen Patrick Gudro and I'm your host. The mission in my work is to empower people to

manifest their values of compassion and wellness in their everyday lives. I'm the

author of The Joy of Vegan Bacon, The vegan table, Color Me vegan,
