See the Woman of Color Owned Bodega in LA Selling Affordable Organic Food and More

A few years ago a cousin from the east coast came to visit family here in Los Angeles. In between finding things to do in LA and creating new familial memories, she raised a question that would eventually become a debate. Her: You gotta have bodegas in Los Angeles. It’s a major city. Me: We

Fresh LA Creates Vegan Food So Good You May Not Miss Meat

In the past, I wouldn’t have considered myself to be the healthiest eater but I’m getting better. Months prior to today I could eat an entire Kit Kat bar before bed. Although those days may not be so long ago, they are behind me. I can proudly say that I no longer “break a piece

Dig Your Fork into the Healthy Plates Served at Yalla Mediterranean

I can’t claim to have eaten every style of cuisine within Los Angeles, but I am working on it. Amongst all the styles of food out there, I can admit that there are some I haven’t devoted adequate attention to. Asian, Indian, African, and a few others haven’t been as heavily focused on this website

Juice Crafters Has Healthy Food and Drink Options for the New Year’s Resolution You Forgot About

I’ve been trying to eat better. I wouldn’t say that I’m failing at this New Year’s resolution of mine, but I can say that I’m not crossing it off my list with enthusiasm any time soon. You may have said a similar sentence before, especially at the top of the new year, however I’ve said

Tribal Café is a Charming Getaway Restaurant You Need in Your Life

You’ve probably passed this restaurant and didn’t even know it. Might have been parked at a red light and never looked through your window to see it. If that’s your scenario when it comes to Tribal Café that sits just outside of Downtown LA, then you’re not alone since that was me too. I drove

Chef Josef Centeno Makes Lentils Exciting in a Four-Course Dinner at P.Y.T. in Downtown LA

Does anyone get excited by the idea of eating lentils? I’m pretty sure the answer is no. However if your day becomes brighter by the thought of them then I question the type of hobbies you have in your life. I’m not judging you though. Personally, lentils don’t instill any degree of excitement quietly within

Have a Healthy Dinner of Salad, Pasta, and More at Napa Valley Grille in West LA

Vegetarian and healthy plates are following me. Not on a stalker level, but I’m seeing them more often. Lately I’ve been visiting restaurants and while looking through the menu I find myself opting for healthier plates. Burgers have been replaced with salads and steaks have been substituted with quinoa power bowls. I don’t know if

See How Wild Living Foods Makes Healthy Food Taste Incredible

Yesterday, I was standing in Wild Living Foods looking over their menu unsure of what I got myself into. I was a bit perplexed because everything on the menu seemed so healthy and fresh. In no way do I want you to think that I seek out restaurants whose food is high in fat or

This Meat Lover Went Vegetarian and Got More than She Expected at Flower Child

“I just want to be happy.” he said. The sentence stopped me in my tracks as I was taking photos of dishes at Flower Child in Santa Monica. It was a hard sentence to hear from anyone, but coming from an older man discussing his divorce, it struck a chord. I have no real understanding

Nekter in Pasadena

I’m getting fat. All my life I’ve been fat mentally, but more recently it’s starting to become physical. My fatness reached an all new low (or high) last week when I gorged on four Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches for no reason other than “I do what I want”. I hope you read that in Cartman’s
