Connie Vail is one of the three original ladies and is now the sole owner of The Vegetarian Express. This inspired company was born at a Super Bowl party, where the girls proudly showcased their latest and greatest vegetarian and vegan recipes. The desire to make healthy cooking easier sparked the idea to start a business that night.
The ladies began meeting regularly, and in February 2004, The Vegetarian Express was established in Lansing, MI, alongside its line of vegan seasoning and vegetarian spices, and is now thriving in Huntersville, NC.
Connie, an avid cook and chef with a culinary arts certification that includes baking and pastry, has dedicated her life to promoting health. She loves giving health lectures and teaching vegetarian cooking classes, focusing on helping people prevent disease. To her, nutrition, exercise, rest, fresh air, sunshine, ample pure water, and a balanced, moderate lifestyle (Temperate) are crucial, along with trust in our Creator. These eight principles represent the natural laws of our being to promote good health. As a vegetarian and vegan for 62 years, Connie has lectured across the US, India, and Africa. She enjoys entertaining, cooking, and experimenting with healthy cooking in the kitchen. Married since 1978 to Steve, she is a proud mother of two children, Lori and Daniel (Daniel, sadly was accidentally electrocuted at 18 in 1998), and a grandmother to three grandchildren: Avalon, Sage, and Elijah.
