I.O.N. Restaurant Review

One of my best buddies Lauren is moving to Hartford, CT and I was in town apartment-hunting with her the weekend before last. Her boyfriend and a few friends in Connecticut are vegan so they recommended one of their favorite restaurants, It’s Only Natural (I.O.N.), to meet for dinner on Saturday night. It was FREEZING and [...]

Babycakes NYC Baking Demo

I’ve been a fan of Babycakes’ gluten-free, vegan baked treats for awhile now (read my review from last August), and I jumped at the chance to learn some new tips [...]

Using this recipe, I made spicy tofu sandwiches and salads about 4 times last week. Clearly, it was a hit! The sandwich recipe is great for a BBQ, so [...]

Spiced Pea Soup

Okay, so I am fully aware that pea soup is not at the top of everyone’s list for “appetizing” foods…in fact for a lot of people, it might be at the bottom of that list. I used to think pea soup was just gross looking. I had only tried it once or twice and it [...]

Amy’s Vegan Margherita Pizza

I was picking up some frozen foods at Westerly’s last week and was excited to see they were carrying the new Vegan Margherita Pizza with Daiya Cheese from Amy’s Kitchen. I love using Daiya cheese on my own homemade pizzas, and let’s be honest, it’s nice to have a frozen pizza around for those days [...]

Self Care

I’ve been taking a long overdue break for the past few days. Sure, I had to work my regular hours but I have been taking my nights off to just chill and treat myself to some tasty foods and time off to relax. Everybody needs days like this, and with the hard way I that [...]
