Food Revolution Day

Kale!    This sunflower seeds dressing needs work, so I’m holding off on the recipe for now.  As a general rule, kale that’s been coated in any kind of nut/seed based dressing is delicious.  But I’m picky and I want to get things juuuust right. The other day on my lunch break I walked past this truck… How cool would it be if Jamie Oliver were working with the hospital’s cafeteria!  I won’t get my hopes up.  There was a sign on the door that said “do not interrupt, class in session”.  I want to… Read more >

Philly: Veg Eats

Sweet Freedom Bakery is Philadelphia’s first (and only) allergen friendly bakery. It’s on South Street (between Broad and 15th). The sign says it all right – vegan, soy free, egg free, kosher, gluten free, peanut free, corn free, no refined sugar, casein free, wheat free…you get the point.  Basically, they have delicious baked treats for people with wacky GI systems (like me!). They were featured on the Cooking Channel’s Food(ography) and the Food Network’s Cupcake Wars.  Cool huh! So I went a little crazy. 🙂 Here’s a full list of what they offer (ps they… Read more >

The “healthiest” salad

The second #HAWMC prompt called for an inspiring quote.  I’m one of those cheesy losers that already has a collection saved in my gmail inbox.  I like motivation.  Here are some of my favorites. Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. -Thomas Jefferson Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. -Robert Collier I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure–which is:… Read more >

Chef Tanya’s nachos

  Way too much food for four people.    For no reason, a group of us went to Native Foods for dinner the other night. I’ve been to the Palm Springs, Costa Mesa, and Westwood locations, but not the Culver City one. I forced myself to try something new, which was hard since I love the scorpion burger and kale macro bowl a lot.   Kyle and I ordered the Nuevo Native Nachos to split…which was a blessing and a curse.   O.M.F.G.HIJKLMNOP… Fantastic.  If you go to Native Foods, I command you to order… Read more >
