Dining in LA: Flore Vegan Cuisine

July 10, 2012
22
One of the reasons I moved from San Jose to Los Angeles was to be closer to my best friend, MJ.  When I moved back from Italy, San Jose just wasn’t doing it for me anymore.  We had been spending so much time and money just traveling back and forth to be with each other, [...]

Red Velvet Cupcakes with Sugar-Free Cream Cheese Frosting

July 9, 2012
73
www.samlimstudio.com This last Saturday was mine and Chris’s first wedding anniversary.  A year ago, we went to Beverly Hills City Hall and eloped, then walked to a local cupcake shop for our “wedding cake.”  We chose the red velvet as our cake because we’re both quite fond of those brightly-hued beauties.  Since we had so [...]

Buttery Lemon-Almond Green Beans

July 6, 2012
16
I never ate a fresh green bean until I was about 24.  Until that glorious day, I had only experienced the canned variety (my family was big on canned food).  The age of 24 is when I first became interested in farmer’s markets and fresh foods.  I would buy mostly just fresh fruit, with the [...]

Happy Independence Day to all my U.S. friends! Back in northern California, Gordon, one of my old personal training clients (whose daughter later became one of my best friends) used to have a huge 4th of July party every year.  There was a huge potluck, swimming, a mini-golf competition, way too much alcohol, and then [...]

Dining in LA: Madeleine Bistro

July 3, 2012
25
My 32nd birthday was this past Sunday.  Although I used to be quite fond of big parties and spending a week celebrating my birthday (It’s right before Independence Day, so I had an excuse), my birthday has become more of a day of reflection on all these years I’ve been given this wonderful gift of [...]

BBQ Tofu Cutlets

July 2, 2012
25
Since moving to Marina del Rey two years ago, we’ve discovered several things about our neighborhood.  We share the ‘hood with a TON of ducks (Chris and I refer to them as the Duck Gangs since they hang out in packs) and though they are partial to kicking it in front of the library, you [...]

Peanut Butter Pancakes: 2 Ways

June 28, 2012
26
Today, the twins are twelve years old.  The greatest blessing in my life is that I get to watch these two amazing human beings grow and develop and become more and more amazing.  Maxwell and Sophia are both so intelligent and kind-hearted and just all-around good people, and it is a pleasure just to know [...]

Vegan Dining in San Jose: Good Karma Vegan Cafe

June 27, 2012

For about two weeks, I planned a three-day-long road-trip up to Northern California for my cousin’s baby’s first birthday.  I had snacks and meals planned for Chris, the twins, and I- things we would eat while traveling, and things we could make while staying at my grandparent’s house.  It was going to be perfect.  All [...]

Lemon Parsley Millet & Couscous Salad with Lemon-Ginger Beets

June 26, 2012
22
This last Saturday, on queue for Family Movie Night was Auntie Mame.  This movie takes me back to my childhood, as it was always one of my Dad’s favorites and I watched it several times as a child.  I hadn’t seen in it about 20 years, and Chris had only seen parts of it, so [...]

Black-Eyed Pea Mole Cakes with Blackberry Mint Salsa

June 24, 2012

You may or may not be aware of the fact that there is a contest happening today.  I’m not a very competitive person.  In fact, I usually run away fast shy away from competition.  It’s just part of my nature.  This time, however, when I discovered this contest, I got pretty excited. Basically, Isa Chandra [...]

Everything/Nothing Cookie

June 22, 2012
28
Do you ever hold onto things in your life that are not useful to you?  Perhaps it is a pair of jeans that you no longer wear, but keep because at one point, they looked really great.  Maybe it’s the closet, full of baseball cards you’re holding onto because they might be worth something someday.  [...]

Spaghetti Squash & Farro Salad

In our vegetarian days, Chris and I would often visit Lemonade, a cute cafeteria-style restaurant serving up delicious salads, sandwiches, soups, desserts, and of course, lemonade.  Because we like to share our food, we would always get the 3 item plate, which could be split up into 6 smaller items, and fill it with a [...]

Chilla (Chickpea Omelet) with Maple-Roasted Cheezy Broccoli

June 20, 2012
23
Broccoli and I used to be on not such great terms.  It wasn’t as bad as my past relationship with grapefruit, but I generally just avoided it.  After becoming vegan, I decided to bring more broccoli into my life (grapefruit could stay out, as far as I was concerned).  My search for broccoli recipes led [...]

Tahini Pineapple Smoothie

June 19, 2012

Before we went on vacation, I had this fantasy of lounging poolside with a tropical cocktail in hand, reading a book.  It just sounds like part of the classic tropical vacation, right? The only part that actually happened was that I lounged poolside.  Our first day to lounge by the pool, we picked up the [...]

Blackberry Cuppins

June 15, 2012
27
“What’s a Cuppin,” you ask?  Well, it’s what would happen if a muffin and a cupcake got together and had a baby.  A super-rad, totally scrumptious baby. I recently wanted to recreate this recipe, but with blackberries.  Blackberries are one of Chris’s favorites, so I thought it would be a nice way to say “thank [...]

Carrot Cashew Pâté Cucumber Canapé

June 14, 2012
27
I like to be fancy sometimes.  It goes all the way back to when I was four and I insisted that all of my swimsuits have ruffles.  My mother encouraged my love of all things fancy by using cookie cutters to cut out most of my sandwiches as a child (at the very least, she [...]

Super Mango Pineapple Acai Bowl

Recently, I returned home from yoga to find a huge box on our doorstep.  In this box, I found a Vitamix.  For me.  From my husband.  I feel like an official vegan now.  An official vegan with the most amazing partner anyone could ever ask for.  It’s not just this gift, though.  Have you seen [...]

Super Seed Trifecta Granola

June 12, 2012

Trifecta.  Isn’t that a fantastic word?!  I’m not enirely sure it is an appropriate term for what I am describing, but as I’ve said before, I love words.  This one gets stuck in my head more than any other word I can think of right now (Weird Fact:  It is usually James Franco’s voice saying [...]
