Stop! Turnover! {Part 3: Coconut Flakes}
Unsweetened coconut is like tomato paste. It should come in a smaller package. I think it’s been in my pantry since: this, a time when I had much more time to make cookies. Christmas cookies! So it’s about two years now. This time, I made gluten-free toasted coconut chocolate chip cookies. They’re hearty, made of [...]
Vegan in Toronto, Part 2: Hibiscus Sweet & Savory Crepes and Heavenly Bunners
Last minute low-ball bidding on Priceline is a skill I can add to my resume. Being V.I.V.B. (very important vegan bloggers), we needed a safe haven to recuperate from a long day of eating. Luckily, the boutique Indigo Hotel gave us a $100 room for about $50 bucks. After some restful sleep, an invigorating session in [...]
V.V. in Rochester: Eco Bella Bakery
Continuing the all-vegan upstate New York theme, I bring you pictures of some wonderful vegan goodies hiding in a sleepy street in downtown Rochester, the treats of Eco Bella Bakery. I’ve written of the pleasures of an all-vegan establishment before. What can often be a grueling process of ordering food becomes effortless. Of course the [...]
Vegan New England, Part 5: Divine Treasures
Heading back to New York from Massachusetts, I thought I’d multi-task. Though barely an hour above New York, I hardly ever find myself with time to spare in Connecticut. So after a requisite google search, I found a interesting vegan lead, a mid-way stop before home. Divine Treasures, a vegan gluten-free chocolate shop in Manchester, [...]
Vegan New England, Part 3: True Bistro
Trying to get to Boston’s True Bistro for brunch before the wedding hadn’t worked out. And unfortunately so. This all-vegan restaurant has one spectacular brunch menu. Considering there was no way I was leaving Boston without trying their delicious-reading menu of high end fare, we had to make a b-line from the ceremony to Somerville [...]
More Than Peanuts & Crackerjacks: Vegan at Citi Field
Ah, the emergence of the mainstream health-conscious movement, helping to increase the demand for veg-friendly food amongst the meat-heavy American fare of sports venues, I thank you. Your reasons are far more socially-acceptable… yes, the size of our behinds truly is more important than the the welfare of millions of animals. But allow my veganism [...]
Streets of Philadelphia…
Enjoying a week off for winter recess, it was time to escape, however briefly, to new east coast vegan options. Philadelphia recently opened its first all vegan, all gluten-free bakery! And with the city being just a short ride away, CP and I made a day trip especially for Sweet Freedom Bakery. Sweet Freedom Bakery [...]
Lovefest: Babycakes NYC
Babycakes is such an inspiring success story. Owner Erin McKenna has racked up an impressive trail of publicity and celebrity affiliation through the years. Her baked creations–vegan, gluten-free and with no refined sugars–are a breath of fresh air to New York City’s vegan sweets market. I remember my first visit soon after they opened their [...]
