My Vegan City: Flora’s New Spring Menu is Here

Since this time, they’ve gotten a lot of great press and for good reason. Ant and I, excited that a new vegan place opened up out our … Continue reading My Vegan City: Flora’s New Spring Menu is Here

This past Sunday, Ant and I excitedly celebrated some huge milestones. May 1, 2016 not only marked our 11-year wedding anniversary (11 years…wow!) but also our three-year “veganiversary” (that’s three years of eatin’ vegan, baby!). But this special day also brought us something equally as exciting, if not more: our very first opportunity to stuff our faces with as much vegan macaroni and cheese as our bellies would … Continue reading My Vegan City: The Philly MAC-Down

Mi Lah Vegetarian

Review: Mi Lah Vegetarian – Ambler, PA

When one of Philadelphia’s favorite vegetarian restaurants moved out to the ‘burbs nearly a year ago, I could not have been more excited.
