Marilyn Munster never got the respect she should have had while living with her aunt and uncle in America’s most glorious abode. She was just a great example of how one should never judge a book by it’s cover, and that can be applied to these “healthy” banana nut muffins.

Recently a dear friend of mine traveled to India in a mission to help others and enlighten the world with her rockin’ glitter powers. While over there, she informed me that she consumed more chai than a Hummer consumes gas on a cross-country trip. This got me thinking…how did we get to such a delightful… Read More Darjeeling Limited: It’s Chai Time
Week 4 is here and I am already seeing noticeable changes!

However, with the combination of veganism (sorry old friend), Weight Watchers, and clean eating, I have come up… Read More Mediterranean Quinoa

However, lately we have been trying to use the word “date” as an excuse to… Read More Mohawk Bend: Deliciousness in Silverlake
Sugar. Spice. And everything nice. These are the secret ingredients to a happy heart. The other day I was driving around Burbank, just randomly seeing the town, when I had to pull over for a sandwich board that read “Vegan Cupcakes!” Cupcakes? Vegan? Yes please. In this cute, tiny, unsuspecting building was a little bakery… Read More Half Baked
When it comes to baking, I am not the best baker. I like to do things on the fly and be more of a mad scientist in the kitchen than a Betty Crocker. However, when it came to Mr. Munster’s birthday, I tried to make it a little bit more edible and “healthy”. For a… Read More Deutscher Schokoladenkuchen: Vegan Stil
For Halloween, my dear Absola gave me this totally rad Gingerdead men cookie cutter! I’m pretty sure it was inspired by the most epic film ever made. It was strange to make gingerbread things for Halloween time, but I was eager to make them for Christmas. So tonight was the night..we already exchanged a few… Read More Gingerdead Men: Gary Busey Style
