The Cooking Activist

Libby Mahoney started her first blog as The Cooking Activist in May 2010. She started participating in human trafficking awareness events and joined forces with the abolitionist community in Northeast Florida at the beginning of 2011. Libby tweets, blogs, and uses facebook to raise awareness about modern day slavery and shopping for slave-free products. Libby is also a strong proponent for gmo-free food and seeks to educate the community about buying organic and preparing foods from scratch.

Libby plans on opening a for-profit fair trade coffeehouse in Northeast Florida with her business partner, Monica Greenblott. Libby and Monica plan on using the profits to fund their own NPO, designed to aid the community in the prevention of human trafficking through education, financial assistance, and to open a boarding school.

“Like” The Cooking Activist Company on facebook and share it with your friends to help get the word out about us! The page is used to post news about health, gmos, organics, modern-day slavery, and human trafficking.

I’ve made flourless cakes before, but I hadn’t had much success with gluten free flours yet. When Vicki and I get together, it is not easy to eat at restaurants because we are allergic [...]
Have you ever had an Irish potato?

Irish Oatmeal Cream Pies I love Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies, and I always have. I haven’t had one in almost 3 years because like everything else, they are loaded up with soy. Since I am allergic to soy, I have had to give up a lot of my favorites and I have been wanting [...]
Lumpia anyone?

I have a confession to make: I secretly wish I was part Filipino. I grew up in Southern New Jersey, and in my old neighborhood my backyard connected to a Filipino family’s backyard. I had the delight in partaking in traditional foods from the Phillipines as a very small child, until we moved when I [...]
Canning Spicy Red Pepper Jelly

One thing I’ve been wanting to learn is canning. My dad has tons of stories about his mom, my grandma, canning all types of things when he was a kid. He grew up in the deep woods of the South, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Bassett, Virginia. He has those stories of walking [...]
