This is what suenos are made of. My Mexican cravings have hit an all time high…so I tried to channel Chef Tanya to achieve nacho perfection on my own. Thanks to Expo West I still had sample packs of Beanfield’s bean & rice chips. The pico de gallo flavor just screamed make-me-into-nachos-right-now. They won VegNews’ Best of Show 2012 award and now I know why. They had crazy flavor! To be honest, they didn’t even need any toppings, they actually did taste like beans and pico de gallo. I also recently got… Read more >

Breakfast #1: mom’s plum jam + Earth Balance + cinnamon raisin Vital Vittles Breakfast #2: quinoa + scrambled eggs Lunch: Love Grown Cocoa Goodness oat clusters + raspberries + almond milk I had 3 bowls of this, so there’s not much left in the bag. Maybe one servings worth? Stupid serving sizes. Snack: apple + Trilogy Kombucha In the afternoon, Kyle went on a walk and wound up in our old neighborhood and decided to pop into Santa Monica Seafood. This is the only place I’ve found close to me that makes… Read more >

It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either. I don’t even really remember what went into this because I just kept adding things as I found them, but here’s what I do know it had: POM juice Amazing Grass orange dreamsicle almond milk frozen raspberries chia seeds ice Because I added so much liquid in the beginning, I… Read more >

My mom got into town late Wednesday night, so on Thursday we spent the day shopping, lunching, and shopping some more. We have both been to True Food Kitchen before. I started with The Natural which is one of the most insanely non-alcoholic delicious beverages. Ever. It’s ginger, agave, and soda. Mmmm… My mom got a lemonade. For our mains, we each got our own salad and then split the TLT. I’ve gotten the kale salad (with my same tweaks – no parmesan, add baked tofu) every time I’ve gone to True… Read more >

The most massive banana ever. At the perfect state of ripeness. A work breakfast (flaxy oatmeal) that I didn’t end up eating because I got cafeteria french toast instead. GAHHHHH!!! Why can’t I quit you!!! Quinoa, roasted veggies, and nooch up the yin yang. Greens, roasted veggies, hardboiled eggs, and avocado. Again, I nooch-ed it up post-photo. Curry tofu. It’s vegan, it’s FODMAPs free, and it’s in the book. SodaStream water with lemons from the neighbors tree. Yes, I put a whole lemon in my water. And I smashed it up and drank… Read more >
