Hey guys! My mom works insane hours, has an awful commute, and works in an area of Riverside County (*waits for a resounding “oy.”*) that she deems a food desert. Thankfully, this is a somewhat temporary placement while she finishes some public-agency projects down there. Anyhow, she tells me that the only food options close [...]

Hey guys! Since the 4th of July is nearly a day away, I thought I would share appealing recipes I’ve found that would bode over well at a BBQ event (cuz, let’s face it – there’s nothing more American than roasting animal flesh over a grill lol (and oy!)). So, here are some vegan goodies [...]

Haven’t been able to wrap my head around a fat free hot dog lol @MSFitMint [...]

Hey guys! It’s been a fun past couple of days that have included a hot (as in sweltering) day at Disneyland and lots of delicious home-made vegan food. Last night, we had my boyfriend’s best friend (since childhood!) over along with his wife and their adorable 7-month-old baby! I love being at an age to [...]

Hey guys! One of my favorite places to eat is Open Sesame in Long Beach, CA — a Lebanese restaurant with several vegetarian and vegan options. One of my favorite dishes on the menu is the appetizer fried potatoes made with cilantro, garlic, lemon and vinegar. My friend Nadia and I wanted to recreate these [...]

Hey guys! Happy father’s day to all the dads and soon-to-be-dads out there!
