As I wrap up recaps of my San Francisco trip (see days 1, 2 and 3) I find it unsettling to do so just as Hurricane / Tropical Storm Sandy has wreaked such havoc on New Jersey and New York – particularly in downtown Manhattan where I used to live and work, and parts of […]

Ah, Millennium – our dinner there was a highlight of the few days we spent in San Francisco and the meal was easily one of my top five meals.  I do not just meant top five since switching to a gluten-free vegan diet, but top five ever. Every dish was fantastic for different reasons, which […]

Day 3 of our vacation in San Francisco (see Days 1 and 2) dawned cloudy and scary, and, still jet-lagged, I was wide awake at 5am while my husband was not.  So, thinking we would likely spend quite a bit of time indoors and since I was trying to keep quiet so my husband (who […]

One of the fun things about planning a trip to San Francisco was checking out all of Sea’s Northern California dining recommendations on her blog, Book of Yum. Book of Yum was one of the first gluten-free blogs I ever found. I love Sea’s recipes, which I can of course make at home, but I […]

One of my favorite places to eat in San Francisco was The Plant Café – I had several meals there over the course of my almost five day-stay, including dinner on Day 1, which was absolutely wonderful. I visited the Plant Café Embarcadero Pier 3 location the most (see top picture), as that is near […]

Back in late August, soon after I came back from work travel in Boston (recaps here, and here) and Kansas City (recaps #1, #2, #3, and #4), my husband and I took our first vacation in … years.  We went to San Francisco, where the sky alternated between blue and fog: We specifically stayed near […]

On Pumpkin and Fall: A This and That Post

September 27, 2012

Somehow it is now fall.  I ascribe the speed of the last few weeks to having four trips in just over a month – I actually got back two weeks ago, but there was definitely a bit of a re-entry period. I tweeted and then was fully planning to write a post that day, and […]

Attune, which makes gluten-free Erewhon rice and corn cereals, was literally the first cereal brand I discovered after switching to a gluten-free diet.  At the time I remember being really impressed with how informative their website is – first, of course, the gluten-free information, but also the general transparency about all the products, the brands, […]

A couple of weeks ago, I went to a Dance Trance DC class for the first time, and I loved it.  This summer has been all about trying new-to-me classes – first b.fit barre, then CoreFusion while I was travelling, and now Dance Trance. I actually was looking to try Dance Trance last year, but […]

Pressed Juice …. at Starbucks – A Review of Evolution Fresh

August 31, 2012

Once upon a time, Starbucks iced soy chais were a big part of my life.  The funny part is I do not actually remember why I started drinking them – I suspect it had to do with the fact I did not love Starbucks coffee and perceived chai as a healthier alternative – ironic, as […]

My last night in Kansas City, I had a scrumptious meal at Port Fonda: fantastic guacamole with jicama sticks, cucumber slices and radishes, and then a.m.a.z.i.n.g mushroom tacos with more guacamole to replace the cheese and crema and therefore veganize them: And it was all my complete accident. Let’s back up, shall we.  My last […]

Ok, not quite on the cruising altitude part – I am flying United today, back from a lovely vacation in San Francisco, and there is no in-flight internet, so I am actually hitting publish from home in Washington, DC, but I wrote tonight’s post somewhere over the middle of the country.  Yes, this is my […]

I promised you a recap of my many meals at Café Gratitude Kansas City, and this is indeed an epic recap, full of gluten-free vegan deliciousness.  First, though, a little story on gratitude and irony.
