Recently, my boyfriend treated me to a delicious dinner at Candle 79 in New York City for our anniversary. This restaurant is among the creme-de-la-creme of vegan spots in the city. It’s a must-try spot for vegan travelers, and now I know why!

I recently tried a trial of Aloha Daily Good Greens and was impressed! They’re powdered superfood blends that are vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and free of artificial ingredients. I loved them so much that I became a Brand Ambassador & am giving you a code below for 20% off your order.

When I first became vegan, I wanted to find some packaged food items I could rely on when I needed quick, lazy meals. I love mac n’ cheese, and I didn’t want to give it up just because I was giving up dairy. Luckily, I found dairy-free rice macaroni and cheese from Amy’s Kitchen!

Forget protein shakes – one serving of ProTings crisps packs a whopping 15 grams of protein. I’ve never expected so much power from chips before. Pretty neat!

Over the past two years, I’ve been trying new vegan foods and transiting from vegetarian to vegan. Naturally, now that I’m eating a full vegan diet in 2015, I want to take a step up and try eating more of a RAW vegan diet! Not fully raw, just more raw (for now)!

This product is a great transition food for new vegans. If you like Cheez-It brand crackers or another type of cheese crackers, yet want to try eating more vegan foods, you might like Earth Balance Vegan Cheddar Flavor Squares!

Vegan eating without the fuss is TOTALLY possible. I took pictures to prove it 😀

Wow, this is not a dream of fluffy marshmallow clouds…this is real life. Gelatin-free marshmallows! It may be hard to believe, but I think these vegan marshmallows are actually much better than the brands I grew up with!


A couple years ago when I moved to NYC, I was surprised to find many vegan options at Costco in Brooklyn. There are even several organic and/or non-GMO products, as well.

Here are just some of the vegan items I noticed at the Costco location in Brooklyn, NY. I picked up most of these, and the kitchen is now well-stocked for vegan eating!
