Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. Choc & Nut spread. This is a vegan version of Nutella. I first came upon this French company at Expo West and after one bite I was hooked. It tastes heavenly – chocolate & hazelnut in a creamy smooth buttery spread. I found it at my local Co-Op and it’s not cheap. $10 for… Read more >

You have corn tortillas, falafel, Sabra’s latest hummus, and a grilled green pepper. What to do, what to do… Spoiler alert: this did not come remotely close to wrapping up. Not to worry. I took matters into my own hands. Literally. And now for the giveaway winners!! #35 hipveganchic eggnog all the way? how on earth did they come up with that? pure genius!!! #70 Shelby (everydayvegangirl) Oh gosh, do I have to pick one?!?!? They all look decadent, but the salty chocolate is calling me!

Not having my ID turned out to be way more of an issue on the return flight. DCA’s security is definitely more on top of it, as compared to LAX’s nonchalant approach to check-in. On the cab ride to the airport, Kyle’s mom and I decided we wouldn’t bother lying. If they asked me how old I was, I’d just be honest and then we’d go through the appropriate (read: legal) channels to get clearance to fly without an ID card. I don’t know what came over me, though, because that whole plan went out… Read more >

The worst thing about falling in love with a product is becoming obsessed with it and then having it get discontinued. This is why I have a love/hate relationship with Trader Joe’s and Costco. I LOVE when I discover awesome new CHEAP veggie products. But I HATE when I return to the grocery store to replenish my stash and it’s nowhere to be found. And it happens ALL the time! Case in point: peanut flour Over a year ago, I bought a big tub of Falafel Republic’s falafel balls. They were outstanding – the perfect… Read more >

Since I already shared our living quarters with you, I’ll move on to the rest of the Buenos Aires fun. After showering and cleaning off the airplane nasties we wandered the neighborhood [in search of an ATM and groceries]. By the time we returned home we were completely exhausted. At this point we had been awake for almost two days, but it was “only” 8 pm in BsAs and they don’t do dinner until way later than that. To pass the time we munched on some appetizers (bread with camembert, nuts & olives) and watched… Read more >
