miscellaneous 027

When I lived in New York, going to Le Pain Quotidien was one of my favorite things. The atmosphere, the salads, the tartines, the hummus – you get the idea.  When I first started eating gluten-free, I figured that was a memory that would stay a memory – though by then LPQ had also opened […]

Happy Saturday!

When I did a 21 day yoga challenge the first time (last June), I did it just to see if I had the stamina to do it.  That was the only requirement – showing up and making it through the challenge.  This time, though, the reason was more “can I do this in January?” – […]

There are different mushroom tacos on the menu that can be easily veganized by asking them to be prepared dairy-free.

Nevermind – I am determined to do my weekly recaps weekly, instead of them turning into monthlies like December did, so here is the recap for the first week of 2012: I forgot it was the first week of 2012 until January 8, probably because of way too much busy-ness.  I remembered amidst Urban […]
