I know this is not really newsworthy (or title-worthy, for that matter), but since we’ve been on a strict grocery budget we have avoided the restaurant scene to save some cash flow. For a foodie (like me), this is sad. So this weekend we made the most of our sitch. On Saturday we headed to Seed Bistro for lunch. We had a little bit of money left on a gift card, so one of our meals was free. Budget not blown, stomach happy. Win win! Kyle got the sirloin seitan burger (same thing he always… Read more >

My ability to sleep normally is gone. And I’m fairly certain it’s going to be that way for the rest of my life. Despite my state of perpetual exhaustion, this weekend was f.u.n. We ate out twice on Saturday. For lunch we went to Seed Bistro in Venice, which is rapidly becoming my favorite vegan spot on the Westside. I’ve never had a mediocre meal there – only the best. I finally branched out and got something that wasn’t the Asian Kale salad. This is the Creamy Caesar, with romaine, croutons, and a… Read more >

My mom got into town late Wednesday night, so on Thursday we spent the day shopping, lunching, and shopping some more. We have both been to True Food Kitchen before. I started with The Natural which is one of the most insanely non-alcoholic delicious beverages. Ever. It’s ginger, agave, and soda. Mmmm… My mom got a lemonade. For our mains, we each got our own salad and then split the TLT. I’ve gotten the kale salad (with my same tweaks – no parmesan, add baked tofu) every time I’ve gone to True… Read more >

My dream life would consist of waking up, cooking and baking to my heart’s content, hanging out with my family and friends all day, exploring new and familiar neighborhoods in LA, eating at my favorite spots while trying new places, and having big family style meals a few nights a week at our new place. This is basically what I did these past few days. I wish it didn’t have to end. I woke up Monday morning and immediately began baking Kyle’s birthday treat. He requested chocolate brownies, so that’s what I made. After… Read more >

Kyle and I are really bad when it comes to seeing movies. We mean to see things and then we just never end up following through. Last month we finally got our act together and went to see My Week with Marilyn. Well, the theatre randomly had a power outage, so after walking all the way down to the Promenade, we just turned back around and walked back home. I’m very embarrassed to reveal what we ended up watching instead. [source] Ummm yeah. We watched a documentary about Justin Bieber. It gets worse. I had… Read more >
