I am that yuppie-hippie Austin stereotype that conservative Texans warned you about.

Country Club Khaki

Ah, another nail polish post.   I absolutely love nail polish. I wasn't allowed to wear it until I was in high school, and the second I could, I promptly got my nails done every week during lunch with my babysitting money (although 9th graders weren't technically allowed to leave campus). Since then, I've gotten really … Continue reading Country Club Khaki

Arugula Pizza

Hey everyone! Last year when I was visiting my aunt in New Jersey, we got take-out from one of her favorite spots, which was surprisingly the cafe in Nordstroms!

I have spent the last two months trying to master cooking tofu. And I think I have finally nailed it! It's actually very easy. I avoided cooking tofu for years since it is so mysterious- sitting in a package of water in the spinach area of grocery stores, sucking up basically a whole roll of … Continue reading Crispy Popcorn Tofu

One of the amazing parts about living in a progressive, cool city like Austin is that we have a ton of different food options. For instance, the other night, I checked out a place called Sweet Ritual. It is a vegan ice cream shop tucked into a healthy juice bar. This place has experienced such … Continue reading Sweet Ritual Vegan Ice Cream

Changing Taste Buds!

I had such a great day today! I woke up feeling happy and well rested, which is always awesome. Since Scott is rarely around in the morning and our favorite place offers breakfast tacos all day on weekends, we headed to Taco Deli, which I've gone on record in saying is my happy place. Taco Deli … Continue reading Changing Taste Buds!

Recipe: Vegan “Pad Thai”

Hey everyone! One of my favorite dishes to cook is a version of pad thai. Since I don't use fish sauce or tamarind, and have modified this dish to be vegan, it's not really the authentic Thai version of Pad Thai- just a disclaimer. It is, however, an absolutely delicious peanut-y, creamy yet light, healthy … Continue reading Recipe: Vegan “Pad Thai”
