Vegan JUST Scramble

Hello everyone,

Are you a breakfast person? Growing up my typical breakfast was PopTarts, Eggos, or cereal. On the weekends my mom would make pancakes or French toast. Eggs were occasionally a central part of the meal, but I was never a huge fan. After going vegan, I quickly fell in love with tofu scrambles and other faux ‘egg’ meals. However, scrambled eggs and omelets were a rare treat on a vegan restaurant menu—not something I would make at home. Well that’s all changed now that JUST Egg launched.

JUST Egg scrambles and tastes like eggs. But it’s egg-free, non-GMO, cholesterol-free, dairy-free and still includes 5g of protein per serving. In my honest opinion, this is the best “fake” egg on the market. It’s so easy to cook and tastes great. One of the primary ingredients is mung beans, and I’m not surprised. A friend from many years ago used to make “omelet-like” mung bean pancakes for me on the weekend. I always loved them so I’m not surprised I really like this vegan egg alternative. Anyway, after going through two bottles over the course of a few weeks, I perfected my Vegan JUST Scramble recipe. The texture is perfectly soft, but also slightly crisp, with a low-key savory flavor ready for sautéed veggies and your favorite vegan cheese. Check out this quick and easy recipe below.

Cheers and happy eating!

Restaurant Review: Townhall, Vegan Brunch!

FullSizeRender

Hello everyone,

Imagine, it’s a Sunday morning. You’re hungry. You don’t want to get ready and stumble around your kitchen to prepare a meal. So what do you do? You put some pants on and goto brunch! If you’re in Cleveland, there is no shortage of amazing places to eat brunch — even if you’re vegan!

I recently went to brunch at Townhall on W. 25th St.for the first time. Townhall is a popular bar and restaurant in a ‘hip and up and coming’ area of town, on the same block as the historic West Side Market. Their menu is full of designated vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options and includes a variety of local ingredients. As an added bonus, the restaurant is in an old renovated warehouse space and is warm and welcoming with open brick walls and a cozy patio!

Restaurant Review: B52 Cafe in Pittsburgh

Hello everyone,FullSizeRender

While I have been in Cleveland for almost seven years, I spent most of my life a short trip
from Pittsburgh, PA. My family is still in the area, and I am an avid Steelers fan. When the Steelers made it into the playoffs, I knew I would be making the trek back home to watch the game(s). What better excuse to spend a few days in the city and try out some new coffee shops and restaurants?

B52 just opened in the up and coming Lawrenceville neighborhood. B52 is an abbreviation for the cafe’s location which is the corner of Butler and 52nd Streets. This is the second venture of Allegro Hearth Bakery creator, Omar Abuhejleh, and I think he’s onto something very special.  Continue reading “Restaurant Review: B52 Cafe in Pittsburgh”

Product Review: Follow Your Heart’s VeganEgg

FullSizeRender

Hello friends,

Today I want to share my review of a relatively new product in the vegan market – Follow Your Heart brand’s VeganEgg.

I first learned about companies attempting to produce the perfect “vegan egg” earlier this year when a flurry of articles related to Hampton Creek (and the “JustMayo” controversy) took over my Facebook newsfeed. While Hampton Creek is supposedly releasing their take on the “vegan egg” later this winter, Follow Your Heart beat them to the punch. Continue reading “Product Review: Follow Your Heart’s VeganEgg”

Quick Review: Localita and the Badasserie

Hello friends,

One morning, Cory and I were on our way to go sight seeing, but we wanted to get a quick bite to eat. As we all know, sometimes getting a quick vegan breakfast isn’t easy…unless of course you want granola and some fruit. Luckily, downtown LA has a hidden gem for vegans – Localita and the Badasserie.
