Vegan Sausage French Toast Breakfast Sandwich

Vegan Sausage French Toast Breakfast Sandwich

Many years ago, during one of the hundreds of breakfasts I’ve shared with my grandfather, he poured maple syrup over his sausage patty. I should back up and explain that my grandfather has a history of trying to convince me to try different foods.  His usual explanation as to why I should try whatever it [...]

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, last week you may have already heard me allude to the fact that chickpea flour is magic.  Well, it’s true.  Chickpea flour is magic. I mean, if soccas, flatbreads, omelets, waffles, and pancakes haven’t already made this clear to you, perhaps this recipe will. Do you see [...]

Jackfruit Enchiladas

In the past, when I’ve brought food to share with my family, I’ve always been met with many questions about the ingredients (followed by raised eyebrows), jokes about the food being weird or likely tasting like cardboard (without tasting it), announcements of undying love for meat, a list of how few times one ate meat [...]

Last week, I discussed my recent “blahdom” in the kitchen.  My creativity was zapped, and I would be lying if I didn’t (several times) slather some hummus on a pita and call that a meal. After meeting a friend for coffee in Redondo Beach (a place I rarely go to), I was driving home and [...]

Cashew Maca-Maca Butter

Making my own nut butter is something I resisted for the longest time.  I chalked it up to needing a high-speed blender.  I settled on just buying peanut butter, free of any added oils or sugars.  Then, Rachel proved me wrong and inspired me to give it a try.  Then I put it off for [...]

Easy Cheezy Pizza

I had prepared to share my opinion of the recent USDA decision to not promote Meatless Mondays.  As I was writing, however, I felt that I was getting preachy, and I hate it when I get preachy.   I was upset for a number of reasons, but what concerned me the most was how this [...]

Dining in LA: Cafe Gratitude, Venice

A couple months ago, I was cruising up Rose Ave. in Venice, on my way to Whole Foods, when I saw a sign that caught my eye, hanging from a newly built building.  The sign seemed to read “Cafe Gratitude.”  I kept driving, thinking that I must have misread it.  That would be just way [...]

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 [...]

Recently, I was reunited with an old friend.  After becoming vegan, this particular friend was not too happy with my decision.  She felt like I had abandoned her and after a few failed attempts at trying to make things work, we parted ways.  We just didn’t see things the same way anymore, and though I [...]

Vegan Travel: Maui, The West Side

When we decided we wanted a vacation, we wanted to go somewhere that we would not need an agenda, not have any expectations, and just be able to go with the flow.  I was pretty stoked when Chris sent me the confirmation for a trip to Maui.  Maui was the perfect choice for the purpose [...]

Do you ever prepare a meal, and when you look at the finished product, you’re like “Daaaaaamn gurl!  You lookin’ so purdy!”  No?  Either it’s just me or you’ve never made this pizza. Let me start from the beginning.  I like to use as much of the plant as possible in my cooking, so when [...]

Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia Cherry Granola

Ever since chia seeds became uber-popular, all I think of when I hear their name is those silly Chia Pets.  My brain rarely lets me just say “chia” with out it being preceded with the old commercial jingle.  I apologize for being obnoxious. I could tell you that I created this granola because I wanted [...]

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 [...]

On Urban Dictionary, one of the definitions (after several unnecessary x-rated definitions) for “Fiesta” is: A small economy car that is popular in Europe and/or other poor or liberal hell holes. “Billy drives a Fiesta and he is a communist.” That is actually not the definition I was looking for.  I was thinking something along [...]
