I gave France multiple chances. One, two, three seven strikes you’re out… I wanted very much to prove that you can in fact be a vegan in a country that celebrates meat and cheese. And maybe it’s easier if you speak the language, or aren’t in touristy places, but knowing how to say "sans fromage" and "je suis vegetarienne" didn’t seem to help much. Even smiling and saying in my sweetest, non-American accent "je voudrais une salade" wasn’t working out that well for me (how many boring salads can a girl eat!*). But trying to… Read more >

This week has been truly perfect. Much needed after last week’s sh!t storm of crazy. Friday couldn’t have been a more amazing end to the week either. Kyle has Fridays off, so we both got to sleep in. Brilliant start already. Then we found out his waffle company made it to the finals – open to the public (on May 26th) if you want to attend. Winner gets investors and money and a bunch of press, so this is HUGE. While Kyle had a quick conference call I went on a short run (showered); and… Read more >

Get to know them, because now that I’m back in So Cal, they’ll be making frequent appearances. 🙂 This was my contribution to dinner. Pathetic. I did provide the recipe…but not really since it was in fact forwarded to me by my sister from Whole Foods. We kinda went rogue with the directions though…so here’s our adaptation. Photos first, recipe at the end… Arm workout #1 – avocado mashing Arm workout #2 – black bean mashing (source) I… Read more >

Had a pretty legit weekend. As if Santa Monica beach time wasn’t fun enough, Kyle and I headed off to Palos Verdes and then San Clemente… It all started with le beurre de cacahuetes (aka the butter of nuts). Add a duo of WF multi-grain bread slices… And some strawberry jammin’… And it’s a PB&J par-tay. Nothing fancy, but simplicity is often underrated (that’s kinda my roundabout way of saying being on a budget can lead to boring repetitive meal choices). Lunch was quick and snackalicious. WF’s traditional hummus and a soft pretzel (that… Read more >

If Pigpen and Courtney Love shared a teeny tiny living space, I’d imagine it would still look more organized than our apartment. Moving isn’t fun. There’s chaos everywhere. Given that, I believe I deserve mayj props for busting out a semi respectable breakfast. Berry carob pancakes 1 1/2 cup brown rice flour 2 tsp NuNaturals stevia 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup frozen (and then thawed) berries 1/4 cup carob chips 1 shake Marx Foods salt 1 cup Silk vanilla soymilk I gobbled them up hot off the press…much like the Cosmo, Bride, and InStyle… Read more >
