  • Glen Mountain Bakery & Market Review, Watkins Glen, NY

    Before I moved to upstate (or technically “central”) New York, I would visit Farm Sanctuary (in Watkins Glen) and Ithaca about twice a year. At least one of those trips I lovingly referred to as my “all-girls’-vegetarian-road-trip.” I would ask 3 of my girlfriends who were either vegan, vegetarian, or just open-minded/veg-curious to join me […]

  • Culture Shock Review – Ithaca, NY

    After coming off the proverbial high from just watching May I Be Frank at the local theater last night, we went to a newish restaurant nearby called Culture Shock. I’ve been to Culture Shock many times before. I’m in love with their kombucha on tap and some nights go to sleep dreaming about it. Culture […]

  • May I Be Frank – Movie Review

    Last night was a special screening of the documentary May I Be Frank at Ithaca’s Indie movie theater, Cinemapolis. I have heard great things about this movie for awhile, but never got the chance to see it until now. The documentary follows the life of Frank Ferrante, a 54 year old obese addict with several […]

  • Kahlua Glazed Donuts

    For my latest testing for Kelly Peloza‘s upcoming desserts’ cookbook, I (or I should say my husband) decided to make her recipe for Kahlua Glazed Donuts! And yes, Kahlua IS vegan! Since my SO has earned quite the reputation for donut-making in our town, I left the preparation and frying up to him. I partook […]

  • The Pop Shop Review, Collingswood, NJ

    I’ve always been a fan of diner food and 50’s style restaurants. Unfortunately, many of these places are not very veg-friendly. That has changed with The Pop Shop located on the main drag of Haddon Avenue in the very hip town of Collingswood, NJ. They have several vegetarian and vegan items on their menu (including […]

  • Bashful Banana Bakery & Cafe Review, Ocean City, NJ

    As the quintessential Jersey-girl-at-heart (“You talkin’ to me?!”), I cannot let a trip back to Jersey pass without hitting up the Jersey Shore (and no, not the one from the show). My favorite Jersey beach is Ocean City. I’ve spent countless hours walking the boardwalk, vacationing, and even working there through the years. It is […]

  • Wildflower Earthly Vegan Fare Review, Millville, NJ

    I’ve been wanting to eat at Wildflower Earthly Vegan Fare ever since I learned of its opening in South Jersey recently. Having lived in South Jersey (yes, I’m capitalizing “South” because it is like its own state!) for a majority of my life, I can say there aren’t too many all-vegan or vegetarian places to […]

  • Vegetable lasagna, bruschetta, & mixed green salad

    A bottle of red, a bottle of white It all depends upon your appetite I’ll meet you any time you want In our Italian Restaurant. -Billy Joel, “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” So, we weren’t actually in an Italian restaurant, but in our home, making one of my favorite meals when we have company over. […]

  • Lavender Lemonade Cupcakes

    I recently made a new cupcake that is set to come out in a new dessert cookbook by Kelly Peloza. I’ve never used lavender before in baking, but it was quite the experiment! The cupcakes were delicious, moist, and had an awesome lavender lemon buttercream frosting to boot! I give them 4 1/2 out of […]

  • Grilled hot sauce glazed tofu, grilled kale, & wheat berry salad

    Tonight’s dinner encapsulates some of my favorite things lately: hot sauce glazed tofu, kale, and wheat berries. I mixed it up a little from the usual way I prepare these dishes to give them a summer flare with the grilling (husband did all the grilling here as needed). Grilled Hot Sauce Glazed Tofu 1 block […]
