Taco Thursday

Some home eats I dream about all the work day long… these tacos fit the bill.

What’s also important is the tortilla are Read more…

Into the Desert Wilderness🌵
Petrified Forest National Park

Petrified Forest National Park would offer me so much beauty on my short trip. Though I had made this assumption before arriving, I was not prepared to see the range of gorgeousness. I want to return to get out of the car more comfortably, because on this particular visit the Read more…


Green Street Eatery 🥬
Levittown, Long Island

I first learned of Green Street Eatery a few years ago when it was a food truck. Even though it wasn’t that long ago, I was way more on top of all-vegan eats then, especially on Long Island. But it wasn’t until January of 2023 that I found my way Read more…

Staycation: Serendipity 3

With a very special occasion (my bird day!) and my darling guests in town, we hit up the tourist hot spot Serendipity 3. The whimsical eatery is a true NY experience. And they have vegan options! I was worried about fake super-processed fake chicken, but thank goodness it was tofu. Read more…

Now that school has started and is already routine, I can gradually incorporate social events into the work week. This time, a trip with Angela to Miti Miti in Park Slope, Brooklyn… to catch up and spill our hearts over some tasty vegan options. First, tricolor chips and pico de Read more…


Lots of Vegan Food
in Rochester, NY {Part 6}

Back in Rochester means more vegan eats to try! So let’s back to it… Crave has some really great choices for vegans: vegan ramen, bun, bowls, etc. A sucker for a rice flour bun, I started with some of their tofu buns. A nice chunk of tofu, pickled daikon and Read more…


Another Long Island Excursion

Anywhere I’ve never been is a great place to go! So we hit the ferry to see what was shaking on Shelter Island, off Long Island’s North Fork, before the season starts and it gets way more annoying. View from the ferry, or the floating parking lot. Whichever you prefer. Read more…


Taco Tuesday & Old Friends

Somehow 22 is already in its third month. Before it slips away, some basking in the finer things… tacos, Agua Frescas, and good friends. So, Haab, because of its vegan menu and proximity to my job.

Some West Virginia Vegan Eats

Finally having electricity and running water at my will, here is a photo dump of some vegan eats from my days in West Virginia. Some sweet treats from the all-vegan Venerable Bean Bakery in Morgantown, part of the Mountain People’s Food Co-op. Selection was pretty low since it was later Read more…


Vegan Treasures of Staten Island
Bin 5 in Rosebank

My vegan Staten Island reporting is pretty much blowing up. And so I am uncovering more vegan options on my neighboring borough, starting at Bin 5 in Rosebank: Michelin-Rated and considered “One of Staten Island’s top places to eat” by the New York Times, as their website proclaims. But more Read more…


It Takes Two to Taco

Wynwood, Miami is a bit of a thing. It’s an Art District showcasing some pretty spectacular graffiti murals, “good vibes” (i.e. the smell of mary jane), and lots of hip eateries and shops. So that means a ton of people: not my favorite thing. 😆 But that is where Charley’s Read more…


Sitting On Your Glass

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…


Taco Bell Break 🌮

When I first went vegetarian at 15, I worked at Burger King. Next door was a Taco Bell… and that is where I would get my lunch. With early veg options (A 7-Layer Burrito with no cheese or sour cream was my go-to.), you’d think that options would have improved Read more…


Eat Your Feelings, Roasted Edition

Fall is for roasted roots and vegetables the hue of the Earth in all its vibrance. And, thankfully, the busiest time of the year calls for the easiest dinner preparation–coat in olive oil, salt and pepper and set in the oven. Repeat. If only I can lesson plan this way. Read more…


Final Las Vegas Eats

No Butcher has been high on my list as is any all-vegan eatery that makes its own vegan meats and cheeses–not just putting condiments on Beyond or Impossible Burgers.  Plus, a drive thru!  Perfect for a gal on the road. I got the Hawaiian Rib sammy which offered me hearty Read more…


Scenes From an LA Day

Los Angeles is a massive sprawl of things to do. Like pedal boating in Echo Park. We rode the swans on a lovely LA morning. The La Brea Tar Pits are an interesting stop detailing the ancient history of the area. With many outdoor exhibits there is no need to Read more…


Blessed Are The Intrepid, Day 14:
Resting Beach Face

Phipps Ocean Park is the perfect beach. I have never seen the Atlantic Ocean like this. Bright and clear turquoise waters, shells, soft sands, pretty fishies, empty, free before 1 pm, and close by. And I was pleased to have a bit more success with the snorkeling equipment in the Read more…


Blessed are the Intrepid, Day 1:
Three Wishes

At some point, as I sat in the vacant astronomy field across the street, the traffic in the parking lot of the public stargazing field of Cherry Spring State Park died down. There was darkness above, yes, but it was blanketed by a murky sheet of heavy overcast. Underneath it Read more…
