Sucks. But then who didn’t already know that? Driving for miles and miles through nothingness with the crappiest rest-stops… and doing it with a ridiculous hangover that rivals those from my college days… well that’s just plain stupid. Usually I plan ahead, hell, I’m the girl who brings 5 different snacks with me when I go shopping just so I’ll have options in case I do get hungry. And yet, I was in such rare form after a night of heavy boozing, all that I had on hand as we set off on our 7… Read more >

How I love thee, let me count the ways… 1. Prepared foods bar As you are about to see, I’ve been going through a few obsessions. Whole Foods makes it dangerously easy to slip into food ruts because each dish is better than the last and meals require no effort whatsoever (aside from determining if you want the Kirstie Alley size or the more moderate portion) because they are already prepared. Fumi Tofu Salad I was first introduced to this glorious dish back in my college days, when the Whole Foods opened in Westwood and… Read more >

In between apartment searching, we’ve been doing some exploring… Looks like WF has some competition (not really, but let’s pretend)! Can you believe I had never heard of Co-Ops until a year ago? I grew up with Farmer’s Markets, Health Foods Stores, and the likes, but somehow this amazing phenomenon eluded me. Luckily Santa Monica has one that I know will become a mainstay in my life. In addition to local growers’ produce, etc. this place has tons of great prepared eats…vegan and raw goods aplenty! The raw foods section was really $$$, but sometimes… Read more >

After spending time relaxing in Monterey, we packed back up and headed down south…off to Santa Barbara! I was driving so my personal hand model Kyle snapped this picture for me. I thought we could forge ahead without any detours, but we hit some serious traffic so a stop in San Luis Obispo for lunch was very necessary. As good as it is, Strawberry Serenity Kombucha does not a meal make. What is Mondeo? I’m still not quite sure… As far as I could tell the restaurant had meal concepts (for lack of a better… Read more >

I’m glad you guys are enjoying my tips for navigating the veg friendly parts of Cabo San Lucas… For our last night in Cabo we went to Hacienda El Coyote for dinner. The interior was on the eclectic side, but this was still probably one of the more “fancy” restaurants we went to. In addition to the restaurant area, they had a Tequila Lounge, and a few different outside seating areas. Navigating the wine list was the first priority after being seated. Check. Second order of business, the menu. Kyle started with a tomato salad… Read more >
