Long Island Pizza Break
True Food Kitchen

True Food Kitchen is in 17 states, but it’s a delight to have it as an option on Long Island, which lacks vegan options beyond utilizing packaged cheeses and meat analogs. After a full day of running around the Island, the Butternut Squash Pizza made for a divine lunch. The Read more…

I don’t know how it is possible after years and years of blogging that I don’t have more ๐•พ๐–Š๐–Ž๐–™๐–†๐–“ puns on here! In fact the only one I could find was a two-sentence post that was referencing The White Stripes album… in 2007. So now, a post totally dedicated to Read more…


Running Away to Jersey, Part 8
In the Pines, In the Pines
Double Trouble State Park

More New Jersey, because I really needed the diversions this past weekend. I wanted to check out Double Trouble State Park for a couple of reasons. For one, it has that lovely dark, damp and piney ecology being part of the Pine Barrens watershed. It’s the kind of place where Read more…

Long Island Vegan-ops in Chains

I always giggle at myself for enjoying my weekend bagel the way I do. I really feel a sense of loss at its last bite. It’s simple perfection. An everything bagel, of course. Then toasted to activate all those seeds’ flavors. A layer of Earth Balance. And a layer of Read more…


Kale♥ & Quinoa♥: Togetha Foreva

Quinoa is scrumptious on its own. But add ย sauteed kale… oh boy. Throw in some thinly sliced shallots, diced yellow pepper, dried cranberry, cashews and a bunch of cilantro and you tap on the majority of the surface area of the tongue, waking up even the laziest of buds. A Read more…
