Sick?

I have this uncanny ability of detecting any sort of bug or virus almost the second it enters my system. I felt this happen on Friday, and what I should have done was go to bed early and keep warm, but I did the opposite and have now unfortunately come down with a cold

As a vegan, the whole chicken noodle soup thing isn't really an option, so what do sick vegans do?

There's Amy's No Chicken Noodle Soup, which is pretty good...

But my ultimate quick-fix sickness food is Korean tofu hot pot with kimchi (hold the egg and meat). I swear this works, my reasoning behind it is: it has protein, kimchi is really healthy, and the spiciness kills whatever bugs are floating around, and gets all the gunk out of your sinuses. Plus on an excitement scale, it beats chicken noodle soup any day.

i'm back!

I have taken a long hiatus from blogging, mostly due to my crazy schedule, but also because I figured no one read this blog anyway. But, despite my still crazy schedule, I have decided to commit to reviving this blog, thanks to one special reader who sent me a lovely email. She said my posts are "great" and she wishes I would write something new...eeee!!! I feel so special.

I will restart my blog with a restaurant review, a new burger cart in town. Being vegan for almost 5 years now, most meat and dairy cravings have completely subsided; however, I still occasionally crave In n' Out hamburgers. Which is why I am always on the look out for a great vegan burger. Since going wheat free though, the search has been narrowed.

Luckily there is a great new food cart in town that specializes in vegan burgers, and get this, they have gluten free buns!


The burgers were great, fries too! The GF bun was a little too dense for me, so I think next time I will hearken back to the "protein style" In' N Out days and just get it wrapped in lettuce.

please ignore my lack of makeup and hair combing...it's eugene.
