Beast and Bounty
In my opinion, pretty much every restaurant is vegan-friendly. Since adopting plant-based eating six months ago, I’ve gone to lots of restaurants and always found something I can eat. Sometimes I have to ask for modifications, and a few times I’ve gotten a few side dishes instead of an entree, but I’ve never gone hungry.… Continue reading Beast and Bounty
Vegan Seasoning | Jada Spices Chicken Salt
Today I’m celebrating four months since I went vegan! What started as a 30-day experiment for the month of March, has become something I’ve really embraced. I’ve had a few realizations along the way. The first was I was surprised at how easy the change actually was for me. I wasn’t a huge meat eater… Continue reading Vegan Seasoning | Jada Spices Chicken Salt
kitchen at palladio
Like many people, when I think of Barnes & Noble, I think of books. When it comes to their food, I’ve been known to enjoy a latte or a cookie, but not much more… until now. Last weekend my husband and I went to the Palladio at Broadstone to check out The Kitchen, a beautiful… Continue reading kitchen at palladio
30 day vegan diet
My husband Rob and I just wrapped up 30 day vegan diet. That’s right, the month of March we cut out all animal products. No meat. No dairy. Over the past few weeks, I’ve done a few posts on how things were going. Someday soon, my husband plans to write a post about his experience because it… Continue reading 30 day vegan diet

The dates for the 2018 festival are April 14th and April 21st. There is also the Opening Night Film Screening on April 11th, but that has already sold out (as I mentioned,… Continue reading Sacramento Food Film Festival
Plant Based Diet for Beginners
Plant based diet for beginners, like the one my husband and I have been doing, can be a little tricky. What can you eat other than fruits and veggies? How do you cut out dairy? The whole concept can be a little overwhelming. I’m in the midst of sorting it all out, principally because my husband and… Continue reading Plant Based Diet for Beginners
Plant-based Diet
What is it like to go on a plant-based diet for a month? Well, I’m in the middle of that very experiment right now. On March 1, my husband and I decided to give this whole plant-based thing a go. And right off the bat, you’ll notice I said plant-based, not vegan. The difference? Nothing… Continue reading Plant-based Diet
Punch Bowl Social Sacramento
Punch Bowl Social Sacramento has so much more than amazing food. Recently I checked out this restaurant/bar/bowling alley/billiards/gaming mecca. First off, if location is everything, this place is gold. It’s within the Sawyer Hotel building and an anchor restaurant in DOCO. For those not familiar, DOCO, stands for Downtown Commons. It’s the area surrounding the Golden… Continue reading Punch Bowl Social Sacramento
