Being Social

February 19, 2013

I am a quiet person by nature.  Some might even call me “shy,” though I mostly just feel quiet.  If you were to meet Chris and I, Chris would be the one wowing you with his conversational abilities and making you laugh.  I would pipe in and laugh right along with you guys, but leading [...]

Chewy Apricot Almond Oatmeal Cookies

Chewy Apricot Almond Oatmeal Cookies

February 18, 2013

Remember when I said that I’ve abandoned oatmeal as my breakfast of choice? Well, that’s still the case.  The very thought of it is turning me off.  The thought of the plain, wholesome taste of Morning O’s (Cheerio’s, Whole Foods style) in a bowl of cold almond milk, however, is what makes me rush home [...]

How awesome is spinach artichoke dip?  Right? Back in the day, my best friend and I used to make a spinach artichoke dip in a bread bowl for every party we threw, so we spent many a night in our early twenties staying up all night, talking and eating the dip leftover from the party. [...]

Vegan Travel: East Manhattan, NYC, Part 1

February 13, 2013
29
During the first week of January, Chris and I were fortunate enough to be able to spend a week in New York City.  We had so much fun and enjoyed so much great vegan food!  New York City, without a doubt, has Los Angeles beat when it comes to incredible vegan food.  We were just [...]

The Perfect Vegan Valentine’s Day Menu

February 12, 2013
16
Valentine’s Day is not my favorite holiday purely for the fact that I feel that we should celebrate love everyday.  Chris and I actually make a point to not exchange gifts or do anything special on February 14th because we feel like we should do that sort of stuff randomly, not just because it happens [...]

Do you ever look back at different times in your past and think “That seems like another lifetime ago?” It happens to me all the time.  It sometimes feels like I’ve lived at least seven other lives. There was this one life when I lived in an apartment complex (the kind that’s spread out over [...]

One thing I love about travel is how, without any obligations or to-do lists, you begin to fully live in the moment. I also love how when you take a break from everything that is “normal” about your life for a little while, then return home, you can simplify your life by picking and choosing [...]

Lately, my tastebuds have been all over the place. All I want for breakfast is a big bowl of Morning O’s (Whole Foods’ answer to Cheerios) and almond milk.  No oatmeal, no smoothies, or any kind of fancy breakfast.  Just plain, cold cereal.  And my sweet cravings seem to have disappeared.  Instead of wanting a [...]

20 Vegan Super Bowl Party Recipes

January 31, 2013

Growing up, the Superbowl was a holiday in my family.  Maybe not as big as Christmas, but definitely bigger than Easter.  It was just about tied with Thanksgiving.  Somehow, I managed to marry a man who loves football (and could care less about other sports) just as much as my family does.  After Christmas, the [...]

Oh, yes I did.  Because everything nacho-style is infinitely better. I recently made this discovery after sharing a bag of Trader Joe’s new Nacho Style Kale Chips with Chris.  They were pretty phenomenal.  I realize that this is not an earth-shattering idea because we all know that people have been making nacho-style kale chips for hundreds [...]

Recently, I was asked to do a guest post for one of my favorite blogs: Vegan Yack Attack.  I’m sure none of you are a stranger to Jackie’s incredible blog- full of healthy and delicious plant-based recipes and tons of beautiful photography.  How could I not accept? Jackie’s theme for the month is light and [...]

Review: Divine Dips Ice Creme

I was recently approached to try a new brand of vegan ice cream in hopes that I would write a review about it.  My response: You don’t have to threaten me with a good time! Diane, the owner and creator of Divine Dips Vegan Ice Creme, actually met up with me to give me a [...]

Shortly after getting home from our vacation in NYC, Chris and I got a pretty bad head cold.  It was the first full-blown cold that we’ve had in a looooong time and I’m so thankful that it wasn’t the flu, but we were pretty tore up. When both of us were both achy and exhausted [...]

Beluga Lentil & Farro Kale Salad

I am not a dieter.  I’m just not good at depriving myself of food or following strict rules about food.  I find myself getting obsessive about every little calorie and gram of fat and protein and carb and it makes me crazy and angry, so I just don’t do it. I don’t weigh myself, either. [...]

Blue Corn Pancakes with Sweet Cashew Ricotta and Mango Sauce

January 18, 2013

One of my favorite games to play with the twins is “Guess the Secret Ingredient.” Maxwell and Sophia, I learned early on, will willingly try new foods as long as they do not know the ingredient list.  For example, if I told them ahead of time that there was cauliflower in their quesadillas, they never [...]
