Review: Cutie Pie That! Vegan and Gluten Free Pies

I’ve never been much of a pie person. In general, I’m partial to a higher carb-to-fruit ratio in desserts, a nice crumble or crisp. I’ve also never been a fan of cherries in desserts – or really cherries in any format other than fresh. I despise the way they become overly sweet and mushy and … Continue reading »

Recipe: Lemon Blackberry Muffins – Gluten and Dairy Free

I realize it’s a bit cheeky to make mini muffins with blackberries. After you squeeze a couple of berries in the tiny tin, there’s hardly room for a teaspoon of batter. Despite this, I stand by the mini muffin decision. From my experience, mini muffins get eaten and full muffins get decapitated and dismembered and … Continue reading »

Review: Cocomo Joe Cocomocorn

I’ve been told that I’m a bit of a cinema snob. As in, there’s one theater that I LOVE to go to, and all others, inevitably, pale in comparison (and I tend to be rather vocal about it.) Arclight Hollywood is my fave. It’s amazing. If you’ve never been there I equally feel sorry for … Continue reading »

Recipe: Sweet and Spicy Sticky Chicken Wings

I grew up in a very full house. Cousins, friends, distant relatives – they all seemed to gravitate over, especially at dinner time. Our kitchen always felt like a train station with people coming and going, and I can understand why they were all drawn over: my Mom’s amazing cooking. Even in a pinch, when … Continue reading »

Restaurant Review: Faux Pas on 3rd Street

Faux Pas: Literal french translation is False Step. In common English used to describe a social blunder or misstep. For whatever reason, there’s a new French bistro on the corner of 3rd and Fairfax that thought this would be a good name. Hmm. Considering that this spot is seemingly restaurant-cursed, it’s pretty ballsy of them … Continue reading »

Bakery Review: Breakaway Bakery on Pico

Hello, hello! I’m back after a little blog-break. Have been in the middle of a Hot Yoga challenge and food just hasn’t been top priority:) I’m nearing the end of a 60 day challenge and find myself missing the kitchen and starting to dream up some recipes for the summer months. Now that I’m back, … Continue reading »
