I could tell you all about the salads, veggies, hummus, kelp noodles, avocado, green juices, and soy free tempha that form the crux of my day to day meals.

The Kelp Noodle and Kaboodle
I’ve got a recent food obsession to report that surprisingly doesn’t include chocolate: kelp noodles you are my recent krytonite.

There are few things I enjoy more than delicious vegan food with great company, both of which I was blessed to have at my first Grubwithus dinner last week!

Highlights in Food over the Past Week
So admittedly I haven’t had much time to be creative in the kitchen in 2012. However, I have enjoyed some nice eats from good vegan friendly spots in LA. Native Foods Cafe: I had the Yo Amiga taco salad with added avocado and addicting chipotle dressing. My mom opted for the Oklahoma bacon “cheeseburger”. FYI, [...]

Quin-whaaa?
Happy new year! I have lots to blog about including a fun giveaway and my recap of a wonderful dinner I attended with the Open Sky team and vegan curator Brendan Brazier, the mastermind behind the Vega products and a new vegan meal delivery service that ships nationwide.
