Hey guys! I wanted to create a mock tuna or chicken salad to eat in romaine leaves, so I devised the following recipe for a Vegan Chickpea Salad. It turned out amazingly delicious — the consistency and flavor is very similar to chicken salad. I have to admit this is my new favorite recipe because [...]

Hey guys! First, I’d like to thank Kahlua for her very nice “guest” post. She’ll be thrilled to know she’s now the Blogging for a Change mascot! So, I heard Taco Bell was testing out tacos with shells made from Doritos. Crazy! Though, not gonna lie, if you served me up a taco made with [...]

It’s been filled with all the things I love – time with my boyfriend, niece and friends, a Disneyland visit, lots of beach runs, lots of awful reality tv (omg how many wedding shows are there?! My favorite, hate to admit, was Four Weddings), and lots of band practice. My vacation demeanor [...]
