Honey Bee Vegan 

A chance beach encounter with one of my favorite musicians led to an unforgettable evening — dining alongside Tristan Prettyman at Puesto’s launch of their new plant-based menu.

A rooftop sanctuary in La Jolla blending yoga, community, and nourishing vegan food — from vibrant nachos to a spectacular spaghetti squash. My visit to Trilogy was pure plant-powered bliss.

Hey, there! I promised you part two, so I give you part two of my one-day adventure at the 2013 LA Vegan Beer Fest . In part one, I gushed about meeting Tony Kanal, & shared delicious eats from Shojin , The Frankenstand , Mohawk Bend , & Susan Feniger’s STREET . And as if that wasn’t a lot of food already, oh, you betcha, there’s more! At last year’s LAVBF, I experienced the magic that is the Seabirds Truck for the very first time. Their fried avocado tacos & jackfruit tacos

Hello there! Last month I finally made it up to Seabirds Kitchen in Orange County & OMG, if you are in the So Cal vicinity….GET OVER THERE NOW! Ever since I experienced my very first bite of their Beer Battered Avocado Taco from the Seabirds Truck at the LA Vegan Beer & Food Fest a few years ago, I’ve been dying for more.

It was so inspiring to see so many people out & about & living la vida vegan. It’s apparent that the L.A. vegan foodie scene is going off right now

This was a dish that was supposed to be served Christmas morning, but it didn’t happen, as there was not enough time. So we opted for quick bake cinnamon rolls, veggie bacon, & fruit salad, & then made this for post-Christmas brunch. I did a whole lotta nothing this holiday, except for a bit of cooking. I spent most of the day in my new “I Love Paris” jammies, and it was wonderful. I am reveling in not working a retail job this holiday season & avoiding the mall at all costs.

It's that time of year when my Mom & begin frantically testing veg-friendly Thanksgiving recipes! Thanks to the brilliant spreads in both VegNews & Vegetarian Times , we have a lot of inspiration to draw from. Yet, as we are both admitted obsessive cookbook collectors, we have a lot to pull from there as well. We thought we were getting a head start a few weeks ago when we whipped up this lovely “Baked Thanksgiving Risotto,” but time has a way of getting away from you! Wit
