Sometimes I am your typical girl, I like a good dessert. Doesn't happen very often but when I splurge I splurge with style. Last month I had a weekend training that left me pretty wasted, so time to go out for dinner and get my splurge on. As we were at Hugo's I decided to opt for the Chocolate Brownie Sundae, vegan style! Yep, this is VEGAN! 100% dairy free. They have a few vegan options for dessert and some that are vegetarian normally, like this sundae, can be made vegan with …

Meatless Monday Review: So Delicious CocoWhip
Over the holidays we had our Tofurkey Roast which this year we got from Whole Foods and opted for the 'feast'. Which included the roast, savory gravy, wishstix and organic chocolate cake. These were a bargain over the holidays under $20 and though it 'serves 6' let me just tell ya that the roast might serve 6 but there is NOT enough gravy for 6 people. The wishstix are kinda pointless too, we gave ours to the dogs. Now I like vegan chocolate cake as much as the next girl, …
Meatless Monday – Review: Cheezly
Continuing the theme of vacation posts I never got around to posting last year this week for Meatless Monday I'm reviewing a vegan cheese product I had while in England. One of the perils I discovered of traveling in the UK is the lack of vegan options in airports so for our return journey I decided to take a packed lunch with me. On our shopping trip at Morrisons I discovered this vegan cheese as the ONLY vegan option for rolls other than veggies so I decided to get some, eager to try the UK …
Meatless Monday: Air New Zealand Meatless Meals
Ok first I want to say vegan food at LAX was pretty pathetic. The terminals restaurants we ALL closed for refurbishment so there was nothing to eat other than a small coffee bar called The Pie Hole. Then did a vegetarian pie that Bob had, and I had a vegan apple crumble, water, fruit cup and potato chips. Bob had the veggie hand pie (which he said wasn't very good), apple juice and potato chips for a grand total of $21.40 Man airport food is expensive, and it wasn't that great either. The …
Meatless Monday: Trader Joes sweet potato fries review
If you love fries and you like sweet potatoes then combine the two with these Sweet Potato fries from Trader Joes. I really prefer to make my own from real sweet potatoes to bake in the oven but sometimes life and time dictate that opening a bag and throwing food into an oven is quicker. So I always have a bag of these on hand. Note the servings size, which means 5 servings per bag. I'll tell you that's bullshit. A serving of fries is TEENY TINY. Nobody eats that few fries, least of all …

Meatless Monday: Spaghetti Squash
I'm loving all things squash related and spaghetti squash is one of my favorites! I'd never even seen this till a few years ago and now I can't imagine not having it on my monthly menu. In case you've been living under a rock, spaghetti squash is the big yellow melon looking vegetable above. Honestly it does look like a small canary melon right? Well inside this squash is delicious stringy alternative to spaghetti, hence the name! To cook: Preheat oven to 400° Cut squash in half lengthways …
Meatless Monday: black bean lettuce wrapped tacos
This is more a concept than true recipe, because like most things I don't pay much attention to quantities or amounts when cooking, I go by "eyeballing" things. I add some meatless meat, some tomatoes, black beans, stir and.... hmmmm a little dry? Add more tomatoes... then some Taco seasoning... and then hope and pray things turn out nice ;) This is the reason Bob always jokes about my following a recipe, because he's right, I don't. So lettuce wrapped black bean tacos 'recipe' coming …
Meatless Monday: Golden Road
This week for meatless Monday I wanted to share my review of Golden Road pub, where we ate Saturday. This was my first time at Golden Road, but Bob eats here a lot as it's close to his work, which is the reason we were going as we were popping into his work after our swim lesson so he could tie up some loose ends, and I got to eat at Golden Road, so good deal! Golden Road is located at 5410 W San Fernando RD, Los Angeles and is open - 11am-2am Wed-Fri / 10am-2am Sat / 10am-12am Sun / 11am-12am …
