Hey guys! Two of my most popular posts are my sample vegan meal plan and my Daniel-Craig-inspired high-fat, high-protein vegan meal plan, so I’m taking it that people like meal plans, eh? I’ve grappled with whether I want to produce meal plans because they can very easily be used as “diet plans.” However, that is [...]

This is the best recipe ever! I made this recipe once before here but had adapted it to be more healthful. This year, I made the original VegNews recipe to take to my boyfriend’s house for Thanksgiving but knew I’d want to adapt it later to be gluten-free and a bit more saucy (like literally [...]

Hey guys! I hope you are enjoying your weekend! I don’t know what the weather is like where you live, but over here in Long Beach it is absolutely fantastic! Right now, I’m sitting on our L-shaped grey Ikea couch, Kahlua has squeezed herself between my thigh and the back pillow, my boyfriend sits on [...]

Hey guys! I’ve been obsessed with Trader Joe’s Balela ever since it first arrived in stores: chickpeas? Chickplease! Blackbeans? Hellooooo. TJ’s style But I figured it might be more economical if I try to make it myself…since heading to TJ’s every other day to pick this up for lunch isn’t a very smart use of [...]

Hey guys! A couple weeks ago I was in Barnes and Noble browsing aimlessly with my boyfriend. You would think my boyfriend had also been a lit major since he shares my unnatural love for books and we both cling to that Luddite desire to touch and own our books, rather than read them through [...]

Hey guys! My family and I used to frequent the same local Chinese restaurant in Long Beach, called Chen’s, for all of our special occasions (I use “special occasions” loosely; Fridays would qualify lol) and for as long as I can remember. There are many things to love about this restaurant – the giant family-style [...]

Hey guys! Happy Thursday! I have a great recipe to share today! It’s simple. It’s delicious. It’s healthy. Oh, and it has BLACK BEANS!!!!!!! (<– I was tempted to make two straight lines of exclamation points, but I restrained myself). The following recipe is not my own. In fact, I’m not sure who to give [...]

Hey guys! Yesterday morning, after driving an hour to band practice – and then finding out band practice was canceled (d’oh!) – I knew I wanted to spend my free time devising a recipe that would be like a siren (not causing people to die or anything, but that would taunt them and cause them [...]

Hey guys! I don’t think I need many words to convince you that you should try this recipe… Dense. Gooey. Healthy. Yea, this ish markets itself. It’s vegan bread 2.0. Ingredients 2 cups flour (I used white whole wheat; don’t use bleached or 100% white; if you’re going to use regular whole wheat, use 1/2 [...]
