Hu Chocolates and Grain-Free Cookies {Foodie Review}

Hu dark chocolate bars

Hu’s tagline is “Get Back to Human” which is very apropos since their mission is to put the health, welfare and happiness of humans above all else. At Hu, they focus on foods that are organic, with little or no added sugars and are dairy-free. Imagine that, eating a keto-friendly cookie or a vegan chocolate bar. It's possible and better yet, they taste delicious! Recently I was sent samples of Hu Dark Chocolate Gems, Grain-Free Cookies and … [Read more...]

Food is Love Cookbook + Interview with Chef Angelique Santana

Posted on September 23, 2021 | Filed Under: Books, Food | Tags: Chef Angelique Santana, Food is Love cookbook, vegan cookbook, vegan recipes | 4 Comments

I like to think that I eat relatively healthy, but I know that I can do better. One of the things that I am trying to lean into is eating more plant-based meals. If I can devote one day a week to vegetarian or vegan meals, then that is a step in the right direction. Enter the “Food Is Love: there are no rules in food and love” cookbook. I know there are health benefits to eating a diet rich with vegetables and fruits. I’m also trying to … [Read more...]

Coffee Cube - Woodland Hills

Hooray, it’s Friday! I can’t believe that it’s almost the end of summer. Well, technically summer officially ends on Wednesday, September 22nd, but because the school year has already started for LA/San Fernando Valley-area schools, it feels like summer is nearly over. I don’t know about you, but I’ve enjoyed this summer break. It’s afforded me time to go on vacation, read some books and also relax from the school year grind of endlessly … [Read more...]

Last week, I visited Arth Bar + Kitchen for a leisurely Sunday lunch. The stylishly decorated restaurant serves modern Indian cuisine and is located on Culver Boulevard in downtown Culver City. The first thing I noticed when I walked into the restaurant is the stunning chandelier and the full bar.

Universal Studios - Secret Life of Pets

Since my family and I live in the San Fernando Valley, Universal Studios Hollywood has long been our go-to theme park to visit. The close proximity to our house makes it easy to pop over for a visit during the summer and especially at the holidays, when Hogwarts Castle lights up and there is a “Grinchmas” tree in another section of the theme park! There are several new attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood and my family got to enjoy them … [Read more...]

Cauliflower Rice_Rubio's

Cauliflower rice is a popular side dish among folks on the keto diet and for those who want gluten-free options. Although I don’t have gluten sensitivities, nor am I on the keto diet, I do like the idea of increasing my intake of veggies as opposed to carbs. You’ve seen cauliflower rice in the grocery stores, and you may have seen it offered at a few restaurants. Well, I am happy to report that it is now being added to the menu at all Rubio’s … [Read more...]
