Excel-lentil Salad

When I really started making the shift towards a pure wholehearted lifestyle change, I had a dish I couldn’t stop making over and over again.

How Amazing is Moon Juice? | Silverlake
/
As Los Angeles continues to spawn a new juice bar every other month, Moon Juice has secured it's prime echelon status amongst the rest. They have created a category onto themselves–a resource for plant-based alchemy (as stated from their website) that unites juice bar with retail support.
Read MoreSeabirds Kitchen Brunch | Costa Mesa
/
Take a little drive down to Costa Mesa and you'll find a covert, one-level, urban space called The LAB–The Anti-Mall. Within The LAB there are a few shops, a few restaurants, an art exhibit and an outdoor area to sit and lounge.
It's the perfect location for Seabirds Kitchen–a small, organic, seasonal vegan restaurant.

Unless you're allergic, I don't understand those who don't love avocado (sorry). It's perfect!

/
Day 2 started with another Suja Greens. Allowing my body to have some nutritional consistency for the last day of expo was key because the last day requires some finesse.

Sunfood Sun Wrap
/
There are days when cashew cream slathered on bread sounds mighty delicious and then there are days (more often than not) where something fresh and green makes my body swoon.
In this recipe, I’m bringing together a refreshing, nutritious, DEFREAKNLIOUS green salad and a gluten-free, NON-GMO, low calorie, Sunfood Coconut Wrap that'll leave you swooning for days.
Aside from the surprising amount of flavor this wrap packs, it’s perfectly filling–leaving you pleasantly satisfied versus couch ridden.
Part 2: Traveling Klean | DC/Virginia/West Virginia
/
A leisurely drive into the mountains of West Virginia gave us an opportunity to enjoy the changing landscape between the two states.
We arrived just in time for dinner. I swear I didn’t plan that.
Farmer's Market Salad

Well, I see my theme loud and clear-FOOD!
Delicious, unique, progressive dishes from some of my favorite locations and books!
A fully loaded burger from @cafegratitude
A feast of new dishes from the revamped @welovemcafe
A literal donut cake from @donutfriend
My favorite sandwich-Puerco from @organixla
My own Klean-Slate Kitchen Greens on Greens Wrap

and the two most recent editions to my shelves @miyokoschinner The Homemade Vegan Pantry and @jonimarienewman The Complete Guide to Even More Vegan Food Substitutes.
Of course, this year has been phenomenally progressive in the vegan department, but it has also exceeded my expectations in getting to know so many wonderful individuals I now call friends.
Lots of love, lots of compassion and lots of heart is what I will bring with me into 2016 along with pushing the limits and forgetting the boundaries.
Happy New Years!

NEW Two Moms in the Raw Products
/
Two Moms in the Raw are at it again, but this time they have altered their ingredients…FOR THE BETTER! Taking a page from the progressive book, they have taken out agave and replaced it with coconut nectar.
Coconut nectar is still processed, but it is far less processed than agave. Agave may rank low on the glycemic index making it a suitable option for diabetics, but it ranks very high in fructose content. So high in fact that it is on par with high fructose corn syrup, which is a really big no no.

Veestro Meal Delivery
/
I’ve thought about trying a meal delivery service plenty of times—I’ve always been curious, but I’ve never taken the time to seek out which delivery service would fit my dietary needs and wants.
My thoughts on the subject have always been that it seems like a great way for one to stay on track, to facility productivity and to introduce variety into ones diet. At the moment all the reasons above pertained to my current situation, which made the timing perfect to sample Veestro-a plant-based, non-gmo meal delivery service.
Healing Puree
/
We are miraculous creatures, we have the ability to feel when our bodies crave healing foods, herbs and minerals. Sequentially, we can then heal ourselves.
Yesterday I heard mine loud and clear and in turn, I acted. I knew I needed to give my body the nourishment it was craving.
Portland Vegan Beer & Food Festival
/
When the show goes on the road, you either stay behind and watch forlornly at all the pictures being posted OR you book a flight and get your butt to Portland! The Vegan Power Rangers Crew and I loaded up and shipped out.
Some of the crew were even able to make it a few days ahead and sadly, I became the one watching forlornly at their posts; wishing I had bought a ticket for a day earlier.
With that being said, I managed to push forward and make it one of the best damn Traveling Vegan trips to date
