Food Jewelry!

How cute is this?! This reminds me of what Paula Deen once said, "I'm sweating like a fat girl reading her first love letter!"

7-Eleven offers VEGAN food?!

I would have never thought 7-Eleven would jump on the Vegan/Vegetarian band wagon, but apparently it was in demand in the NY and Philly locations.

$6 can get you Artichoke Spinach Noodles, Dumplings, or Lo Mein Noodles--now this is something I might have to check out.

Where's the nearest 7-Eleven?!

Healthy Granola Cookies!

It batter actually started out as Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and then I decided to make a compost-like cookie inspired by Momofuku's Compost Cookie which contains pretzels and potato chips and a lot of other crazy ingredients you would have ever thought would taste good in a cookie, but does! Anyway, my version was more of a healthy version that contained lots of fiber and protein. Some of the ingredients were rolled oats, raisins, chocolate chips, chex cereal, almond milk, raw almonds, pine nuts, chunky peanut butter, flax meal, brown sugar, cinnamon, and I actually used Smart Balance in place of butter so they would be low fat as well.

Overall, the finished product was quite tasty and my housemate named it "The Breakfast Cookie" because it was almost like a soft and chewy granola bar, but in cookie form.

Momo Sushi Shack (Restaurant Review)

Momo Sushi Shack opened up in East Williamsburg/Buswick area just off the Morgan Stop on the L Train. The rave is all the different flavored soy sauces that your sushi comes with! The not so great is the service and lack of wasabi for those wasabi loving sushi-connoisseurs. The veggie sushi options are tasty and quite pretty to look at. Service is slow and wait time is just as bad. Is it worth it for the trip? Sure, if you're in the neighborhood, but don't go out of your way...
