Ok, so part of the reason I was so psyched about St. George, Utah was the vegan options. Starting with a good breakfast that hits all the notes from Gaia’s Garden Cafe… The Buddha Toast with avocado, curried chickpeas, radish, cilantro & house-made tahini dressing on Organic artisan sourdough. Just Read more…

Some home eats I dream about all the work day long… these tacos fit the bill. Brown rice, black beans, smashed avocado, cherry tomatoes, radish, sauerkraut, hot sauce and vegan mayo topped with cilantro. This is just the stuff I had lying around. What’s also important is the tortilla are Read more…

It’s been a minute since I was at Modern Love in Brooklyn. So having a hair appointment in Williamsburg, I met up with old friends for some food and libations. These big fat fried housemade mozzarella balls (ain’t that a series of amazing words?) have been on my list for Read more…

Before I go on about how this fried “chicken” sandwich tasted, here are some hues from a Sunday in which the Autumn sun blazed glorious beams. Let’s follow them out and about. First, they crept into my basement apartment as I prepared my lunch for the week, making this radish Read more…

The day’s activities would involve a pitchfork and a wheel barrel. But first, a bit of breakfast: great coffee from Archive Coffee Bar, which has vegan donut holes from Bigwig delivered Tuesdays & Fridays (bummed I missed them!) and a strawberry and chocolate-stuffed vegan crêpe from Oregon Crêpe Cafe & Bakery.

I went to Dirt Candy back in 2012 when they were a tiny, dark, bustling space. Sadly, the tiny, dark, bustling space was all I could remember years later. But now–Dirt Candy is in a much, much larger space. It was quiet and relaxed on our Tuesday evening visit. There Read more…
