Roasted Beet, Blood Orange & Fennel Pizza with Mixed Herb Tofu Chèvre

The first truly embarrassing moment (of many) happened when I was six. My friend, Andrea, and I were really into sleepovers.  Every weekend, we were begging our parents to let one of us spend the night at the other’s house.  We would eat dinner, play endless games of Clue, lip sync to Billy Joel songs, [...]

Red Kuri & Beet Kale Salad with Cranberry Orange Balsamic Dressing & Pecan Parmesan

I’m one of those people who, in order to feel better about the not-so-healthful food choice they are consuming, like to enjoy a salad on the side.  It’s like adding something super healthy to something not-so-healthy makes it all balance out.  Ordering pizza?  I’ll throw together a salad to go with my 2 slices.  Vegan [...]

Being inspired by other bloggers on a daily basis has become so commonplace for me, that I can’t believe I never used to read blogs at all.  Every day, in my inbox, or in my Facebook or Instagram feeds, I see amazing creations, made by incredibly talented people.  There are times, however, when something just [...]

Always the romantic, The Chickpea surprised me with an extravagant gift. He had stuffed an acorn squash (winter squash being one of my most favorite things about fall and winter) with a mixture of golden beets, pearls of quinoa, emerald kale, and the most dazzling of jewels, pomegranate seeds!  I felt truly spoiled! The best part [...]

Dining in LA: Madeleine Bistro

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 [...]

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 [...]

During my first summer in LA, one of my favorite things to do was take Samantha, my canine companion, to the dog beach in Huntington Beach.  It was a completely selfish routine, as Samantha hated water or anything even remotely wet.  I just liked sitting near the ocean with my good friend and she was [...]

My body craves sweet things sometimes.  It just does.  I refuse to deny it sweet things when that’s what it wants because the craving will build and build until I end up robbing a candy store completely over-doing it.  Chris and I try to prevent this from happening by having a small dessert after dinner [...]

A week ago, Cara over at Fork and Beans had Caitlin, The Vegan Chickpea, do a guest post.   These two ladies are already two of my favorite bloggers, and to have them together in one place was pretty great.  It’s like when you’re watching one of your favorite TV shows and a character from [...]

Do you ever wish there was a way you could stick your head inside your blender so you can clean, with your tongue, the last traces of whatever it was that you made?  No?  Just me?  Huh.  Forget I mentioned it. I was informed recently that I would be going to Maui (yay!!!) in May.  [...]
