It was time to head to the desert again, for the third summer in a row. There is just so much to see in this region–and I like to catch up with my friend in Los Angeles annually. For financial reasons, flying in and out of Vegas is always the Read more…

Pancakes are the easiest path to morning pleasure. And this batch of beauties was sublime. Pancakes are also an easy way to use a bunch of berries that may soon go bad. In this case, blackberries. The cast iron is definitely an ingredient. This intricate golden hued design is how Read more…

Sure, that’s a lot of nutritional buzz words, but it’s true. They’re vegan, packed with protein, totally grain-free and so low carb and gluten-free. But they’re delicious… even without syrup. They are part of this week’s carb cycling plan and so I post this recipe here for you to enjoy Read more…

Cowboy boots on means it’s time to go to Texas… Just wanted to share my excitement about this Farmer’s Fridge in JFK Airport. The Pineapple Coconut Chia Pudding was what caught my eye. It was a great price for a fresh vegan breakfast. I’m sorry I don’t remember the exact Read more…

Though I only attempted them once or twice, I couldn’t understand why my honed pancake skills had not made the transfer. I never flipped a successful crêpe. Being easily discouraged is a trait I’ve fought hard to overcome in my life, but I suppose failure in the form of mangled Read more…

There is fantastic vegan food in Fairbanks, Alaska. To follow, my morning eats. First, Little Owl Cafe, a charming counter spot with very appealing vegan options. My oat milk latte while I waited. I am not sure what oat milk they use, but this was just way too sweet. I Read more…

I’m pretty motivated to uncover all the best vegan food in Rochester, New York. And my list continues to grow… well beyond the well known all-vegan eateries.

I am slowly working my way to all of the eateries on my vegan Rochester list. So here’s my second run-down. 😋 An old school diner with vegan options, as you likely know if you are a reader of my blog, is one of my favorite things to report on! Read more…

This is one of my favorite types of eateries… great, thoughtful breakfast selections done well with minimal packaged processed food on the menu. The Stand Vegan Cafe in Fairfield, Connecticut does it right. My Seitan Bagel Sandwich, an everything with maple-mustard marinated seitan, grilled tofu, chive cashew spread, and tarragon Read more…

It’s pretty fantastic that vegan breakfast options are becoming so widespread. For the decades I’ve been vegan, a morning bite was often not easy to be found. To follow, some easy and satisfying bites in between creative tasks. First, the Vegan Egg Sandwich from Hampton Coffee Company in Montauk, Long Read more…

I love food names that have propositional phrases. And ever since I saw this post, I wanted to try a vegan version of a Frog in a Hole slash Egg in the Basket! I whipped up this super-easy chickpea omelet base, chopped some fresh veggies and picked up some VioLife Read more…

On a mission to photograph Lambertville New Jersey’s abandoned train car, I stopped in the sweet small town for a fantastic vegan breakfast and a stroll through a heck load of charm. Lambertville is right across the bridge from New Hope, Pennsylvania, home of Sprig & Vine. Both cities are Read more…

Out of New York City’s 5 boroughs, the longest list of vegan options to check out is in Manhattan. But this morning, with a photographic mission in the borough, I crossed one off my list: UT47 Kitchen in Hell’s Kitchen. As I walked in I was immediately struck by tons Read more…

Jack Jack’s Coffee House in Babylon serves up all-vegan breakfast eats from Veggie Head Kitchen. What is different about these offerings is that they don’t heavily rely on simply combining packaged products. The B.E.C. is made from tofu scramble, portobello bacon, and coconut milk cheese on a house made flatbread. Read more…

Fermento moved to the suburbs since I had them last in Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy. So as I embarked upon a full Long Island itinerary, I made a stop at their new space a priority. I’m so pleased their fantastic high standards remain! To start, a matcha chocolate chip muffin… because I Read more…

Just a few pictures of a great vegan breakfast if you’re out on the Island. The coconut mango French toast (with the side of homefries and an oat milk latte) from Toast Coffeehouse is everything you would require in the morning. Remember to request real maple syrup from your server. Read more…

And while we’re hitting the best vegan in the area, it was breakfast at Clinton Hill’s Guevara’s. A space as gorgeous and vibrant as their food, this is a Brooklyn gem. A rainbow concha was a must-have… This is their B.E.C. … made of King trumpet mushroom bacon, Mung bean ‘frittata’, Read more…

Being in Ithaca during Cornell’s graduation ceremonies meant it was extremely difficult to grab vegan food at the all-vegan Angelhearts Diner, a recommendation from the counter guy at Binghamton’s Parlor City Vegan. So I opted for Mix Kitchen & Bar which has a small section of vegan options. But this Read more…

A satiating breakfast was necessary after a grueling first evening of camping. I stumbled into Hampton Coffee Company in downtown Montauk in a daze and left with a greasy breakfast sandwich that was going to do the trick… though it wouldn’t be my usual choice. With Field Roast Chao Cheese Read more…

Now that my binge-bake of pink and red colored beauties is over, some me Valentine’s eats… I am not a fan of using gel coloring gratuitously in my own eats especially when the almighty beet, a favorite thing, does the trick very naturally and with added nutritional value. Authenticity is Read more…

When I first read about the opening of Vodega in the Randall Manor neighborhood of Staten Island, New York City’s first and only 24/7 all-vegan bodega, it was 11 in the evening. And I contemplated jumping on the bus to check it out in my pajamas! But I resisted, waiting Read more…

We would need this heavenly breakfast from Perk Coffee House in Tequesta to make it through the day’s activity: two hours of certainly more than beginner level glass-bottom kayaking through narrow mangrove tunnels in the Fort Pierce inlet. A perfect Avocado Toast In the kayak. Having little experience even rowing Read more…

There is so much vegan food in New Jersey on my list! It’s a bit overwhelming. But pre-roadtrip is a great time for a soul-satisfying breakfast from How Delish‘s pop-up in S. Orange. I first saw their sweets at the Atlantic City Vegan Food Festival and was happy to have Read more…
