The past month or so I’ve been working like crazy at the office and haven’t had much time for fun stuff like eating, reading, and making. Please forgive the radio silence! It hasn’t been a complete black-out, though…
I spent an awesome day at Natural Products Expo West, I baked a berry pie for Pi Day, I worked on a gift for a friend’s toddler (which was supposed to be a gift when she was born!), and I enjoyed our local farmers market a couple of times.
The awesome folks at Beyond Meat! #expowest
Hard to believe it’s March, isn’t it? Anaheim Convention Center. #expowest
I loved seeing this Certified Vegan label on booths at the Expo! #expowest
Coconut Bliss was serving up delicious samples!
I was happy to see this Rainforest Alliance Certified Palm Oil label on many of my favorite products. It’s not a perfect certification, and I would like to go palm oil-free, but it’s a step in the right direction.
So Delicious had a great booth with hand-lettered chalkboard signs. Pretty typography and excellent vegan foods? Swoon! #expowest
These frappuccinos for the vegan crowd were delicious. Sugar coma, here I come. #expowest
I want one of these dispensers at my house! BTW, cashew milk is GOOD. #expowest
I raved about this chocolate bar so much, the kind folks at Endangered Species Chocolate gave me a whole bar to take home! #expowest
I love these wine glasses by LifeFactory. They are going on my wish list. #expowest
Hello, Gardein! Love you! #expowest
This had to be the biggest surprise of the day — vegan cheesecake, made with Daiya cream cheese. It’s the closest thing to “real” cheesecake I’ve had since going vegan. Truly delicious. #expowest
I really love Field Roast. These lovely ladies helped dish up two new Field Roast offerings — a maple breakfast sausage and a veggie burger. Both were excellent. #expowest
The day after #expowest, I visited the Hollywood Farmers Market and ran across this lovely display.
Very (messy) Berry Pie for Pi Day!
Brunch at Sage Vegan Bistro in Echo Park. This was the special — a soyrizo frittata with tofu, soyrizo, Daiya, spinach, and onions.
Name banner for Fay! F is for flamingo, A is for armadillo, and Y is for yak. It’s not finished (it needs backing and a ribbon for hanging it), but I couldn’t resist sharing it at this point. Look at the cute yak! He’s my favorite.
Now we’re all caught up, and I can dive back into the report I’m writing for work. Wish me luck!
