However, perhaps we can convert you otherwise. Let’s be honest, here: healthy desserts in Los Angeles are plentiful to go ’round. Perhaps not in the most budget-friendly forms…not…

Six Vegan-Friendly Ice Cream Shops in Los Angeles that are SO Good I Might Cry
People know me as someone who’s an avid Pilates lover. Someone who is Erewhon-obsessed. But just as much as I love greens powders and hot lemon ginger water, I could eat ice cream like it’s my job (wouldn’t that be sort of nice? Getting paid to consume what you love most?), which I probably shouldn’t.…

No-Bake Pumpkin Spice Dough Bites
Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin bagels…there is no shortage of our love for pumpkin spice and the pumpkin fruit itself when it comes to enjoying food!

In Honor of National Ice Cream Month…
…in general, it is TREMENDOUSLY challenging for me to select one favorite dessert. Coffee cake any day. Mango sticky rice until I die. A whole plate of chocolate chip cookies will win me over more quickly than a diamond ring. Peanut butter chickpea blondies….OOF. Having said that, ice cream holds an incredibly special place in…

Most Previous Vegan Festivals: Central Coast VegFest + The Artisan Wheelhouse’s Vegan Cheese Launch Party (all pre-quarantine)
To most people’s chagrin, a lot of festivals, conventions, and concerts have been cancelled or postponed due to the pandemic. It is devastating that we are now constrained to our homes and essential businesses in proximity. For the last several years since starting the blog, I arguably LIVED for these conventions. Nothing pleased me more…

Cauliflower Rice Sushi (healthy, vegan, and gluten free)
Put me on “My Strange Addiction” because I am officially obsessed with cauliflower rice sushi. Granted it has been a while since we’ve had cauliflower rice in our kitchen…same with raw and crunchy almond butter. By that, I mean it’s been a day. I’m suffering. Sushi tends to be quite expensive and often quite modest…

Dairy Free Halo Top Part 7: Toasted Coconut + Vanilla Maple (the two underdogs)
We ALL know at least one thing that is underrated–whether it be a person, an idea, an object, a song, a movie, a television show, yadda yadda. For instance, I think eggplant and kiwis are underrated, as are Meet the Robinsons, The Princess and the Frog, The Emperor’s New Groove, 2-D animation, NCT 127, “Lost…

Lazy But Gloriously Delicious Meal Ideas
Let me break a stereotype about us foodies. Not all of us like to cook. In fact, a lot of foodies don’t really like it, or alternatively, a lot don’t really know how. Some people are miracle-workers and can put random ingredients in a bowl, mix it up, and it literally belongs in a five-star…
