They also have a team of select travel bloggers dedicated to specific areas of typical traveler information – lodging, dining, attractions. One of their team, Rosalind Cummings-Yeates recently discovered Greens N Grains.

Her UpTake review, A Vegan Paradise at Door County’s Greens N’ Grains provides some useful GNG Deli instructions, “Start with a freshly-pressed fruit juice or smoothie. I tried a refreshing  concoction called Sunrise that featured orange, coconut and pineapple juices.” She adds, “The pumpkin and sweet potato soup was rich  and lightly flavored with cinnamon  and the cucumber, bean sprouts and tomato panini packed just the right amount of zest.  I couldn’t resist trying the just baked vegan oatmeal cookies for dessert, they were chewy and surprisingly sweet.”

Based in Chicago, this freelance travel and art writer has a diverse portfolio. Rosalind Cummings-Yeates specializes in travel and lifestyle topics. She regularly covers African, Caribbean and Central American culture and travel as well as book, fashion, theater and music reviews.

“Since I come from three generations of women who read obsessively, piling books on windowsills and stowing them in kitchen cabinets so they’d be readily handy, I really had no choice but to become a writer,” she confesses. “It was either that or own a bookstore and I’m just too antsy for that.”
