As the world turns, I capture it at every angle. And now that every shot has the setting of this “new normal,” I continue to archive it–tucking it neatly in its place for prosperity. Starting with a brief respite, returning to remote work briefly, and the pancake breakfasts that ensued. Read more…

After a long day of exploring, we needed some sustenance. With several vegan options on their menu, it was Pazzo Ristorante that replenished our energy. This pie, the Brendan’s Sweet sauce & Vegan Cheese pie, was absolutely heavenly. And they have plenty more vegan bites to try after future exploring Read more…

The Jersey Shore has lots of goodies and they’re better to see (and eat) when everyone and their mother is not clogging up the Garden State Parkway. Spending a beautiful Spring-like Winter day at Sandy Hook, part of Gateway National Recreation Area, would bring some beautiful sites to share. But Read more…

On my last day in my second favorite city I headed to Chinatown. Mostly because when I saw the huge drive-in line at In-n-Out Burger I felt slightly disappointed I couldn’t partake in such a characteristic LA sociological gathering. But my friend told me that Burgerlords, which was on my Read more…

A quiche with a shredded potato crust? It’s just enough effort for the special occasion of New Years. I never made a quiche before! And with VeganEggs in my pantry taking up space, this was the best way to jumpstart the annual pantry turnover. Quiches need pops of color. I picked Read more…

Though science-food isn’t my thing, I needed to try Follow Your Heart’s VeganEgg for you, dear blog. I preordered them from Food Fight a few weeks ago. I have never had a craving for a plate of eggs since going vegan and have evolved to not even consider them food, but I was thoroughly intrigued Read more…

I have been thinking about a big bowl of chili since the first shivers of an always-short autumn. A big bowl of chili makes weekday lunch easy. And it gets better with every passing day. Chili is quite the texture-fest… I gave the Follow Your Heart‘s sour cream because I Read more…

Wanting to use up my potatoes, I tried something like this. I mashed up the boiled Yukon gold beauties with some veggie stock, soy milk, nutritional yeast and assorted spices. Bam! That’s the bowl on the left. I steamed up some spinach and Brussels sprouts for some added texture. Pictured Read more…

Since Daiya‘s first buzz in March ’09 to my first taste of it in August (read here), the vegan wonder has turned the vegan cheese world upside down. Now it is the winner of VegNews’s Product of the Year, although Vegan Gourmet (Follow Your Heart) won the reader’s choice. I Read more…

True, I am not in love with Manhattan’s Upper East Side but I am more quoting the hilarious Ma Kelly in Johnny Dangerously when she plainly states, hobbling to her L.E.S. tenement: “The Lower East Side. This really sucks.” I’m back on the Upper East Side for my fieldwork placement. Read more…

Joining Wok Man for a post-Christmas extended family dinner, the Wok-mother strove to satiate my cheese-free appetite. For protein, lentil patties drenched in portobello gravy alongside a vegan version of her “party time potatoes” made with Follow Your Heart cheddar. Yummy. Once again, food accommodation is a high compliment!For dessert, Read more…

The East Village’s Organic Grill serves a mean tofu omelet. In my previous visits, spanning a few years now, they’ve always used a proprietary blend of vegan cheddar cheese. I was a bit disappointed to learn they have now converted over to Follow Your Heart‘s cheese. The omelet is still the Read more…
