Yum.  Continue reading “Recipe: Roasted Acorn Squash with Brown Rice, Beans, and Vegetables” →

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.
