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”

Obligatory, But Wildly Yummy,Tofu Scramble Recipe

Hello friends,

Almost every weekend I am lucky enough to have a variation on today’s basic tofu scramble recipe. I absolutely love tofu scramble. I know – every vegan cookbook has a recipe, this is “the” go to vegan breakfast option at vegan-friendly restaurants, and everyone has tried this meal at least once. But I don’t think that means we should discount it. Additionally, this is a meal that all new vegans should quickly learn to master. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s satisfying. I hope you enjoy the following recipe.

Cheers!
