This post started innocently enough, with the tempeh recipe I promised from yesterday’s dinner. But then I got emails asking about tempeh and figured if a few people were wondering it, maybe there were more…so admittedly, this post gets a little educational. But who doesn’t want to learn about soy, right? 😉 I’ve tried a few brands of tempeh before, and aside from the fakin’ bacon (which is LightLife’s tempeh version of faux bacon), none have been too pleasing for my palate. This organic garden veggie tempeh (also by LightLife) is the closest I’ve come… Read more >

The past week has been pretty restaurant heavy. It makes sense since our fridge currently has more condiments than anything else. After returning from Vegas, we stopped at the Culver City location of Tender Greens for some very necessary clean and organic meals. It was pouring rain and we had no umbrellas, so we decided take-away was the best option. After showering and unpacking, I dug into my “Happy Vegan” salad. For optimal photography, I removed the toast and greens that were resting atop the other parts of the salad and put them on a… Read more >

This weekend was so much fun. I had Friday through Sunday off and Kyle was actually caught up with all his MBA shiz, so we got to spend a lot of time relaxing (together). I’ve shown you the d & e meals, but Superbowl Sunday was definitely the highlight. PACKERS what whaaaat! Friday morning started with an early breakfast for me. I was up and at ‘em with the sun garbage trucks (which was fine since I had fallen asleep at 7:30 the night before). I made myself a warm bowl of oats and buckwheat. … Read more >

I actually didn’t take too many pictures at the tasting pavilion because I was busy, well, tasting! Here are the ones I do have, supplemented with ones borrowed from my roommates Danica, Holly, Susan, and Janetha. Before heading into the tasting, Kyle and my sister joined up with me (I’m not the only foodie in my family). :) So stripe-y. We took some photos in the sunshine…and then the clock struck one and it was time to go. Waiting for the event to start reminded me of being in a corral before a running race. … Read more >

On our second day in Kauai, we decided to venture to another part of the island for a hike. The weather was on and off drizzle and rain, so it’s a good thing we didn’t go with the convertible rental… Nature lovers. Waimea Canyon was breathtaking. I’ve never seen a canyon before and it was a pretty cool phenomenon. At 10 miles long, 1 mile wide, and more than 3,500 feet deep, it is the largest canyon in the Pacific and truly a dramatic sight. But almost as thrilling was the number of roosters. It… Read more >
