I just heard the news... Café Flourish in Los Angeles is closing it's doors!  This is insane... I really hope that Sarasai Yutuc is planning to re-open or something.  They were only open a short time and I'm so sad because they have the best pizza and grilled cheese aka the Cheese Louise in town! And being that I'm in New York and this is in LA I won't get to say goodbye!

Run there before it closes!!!! Flirts vegans and naughty-for-the-day superheroes!!!!!! Anyone in Los Angeles who is curio...

Kind Lifer Caseydog posted this recipe for a kind version of 'Gnocchi with Spicy Vodka Tomato Cream Sauce' in the forum and it looks and sounds so delicious!  I love gnocchi! Can't wait to try this recipe.

Caseydog wrote "I love gnocchi Italian potato dumplings and some warm pasta sounded nice on this cold rainy night.  I have been craving the indulgent vodka tomato cream sauce that I have tried at restaurants.  Well I have lightened up this version making it almost fat free and vegan."

I wanted to share another post that my childhood friend Suzannah Scully recently wrote:

"This week's topic: When change is hard

This week I read something on problem solving that really resonated with me. It talked about how to make change when change is hard. They argued that as a society we always go to fixing the problem as opposed to doing more of what's working right. And when you think about it the latter is so much easier. Let's say as a manager 9 out of 10 of your employees are...

rubber duck boots

I'd been looking for a really great pair of boots to wear in the snow and rain and I found them!  I got some boots made by Rubber Duck Brand and I sure am putting them to good use in NYC! They're sooo perfect for this weather.  I think that's because they were developed by a guy named Eik who lived in Greenland.  Lots of snow there! 

I love what the Rubber Duck company stands for too...Inspire Create and Smile.  Definitely standards we can all live by!  The company started a very cool char...

warm winter coats...AND they're vegan!

It's pretty chilly here in New York! 

I recently found these coats by Vaute Couture which are so groovy!  I love the styles but I love even more is what the company stands for.  They are dedicated to making products that are cruelty free eco-conscious and high functioning... as well as great style.  It's so cool... they use deadstock and vintage metal buttons.  And I love things with a vintage touch!  Check them out and let me know what you think.

gardein at chipotle!!!

If you watched me on Oprah you probably also saw Chipotle founder Steve Ellis talking about where Chipotle gets their food from and the importance of the ingredients they use.  Everything at Chipotle with the exception of the corn is fresh and produce is often bought from family farmer's markets when it's available.

The problem I have with Chipotle is that their veggie options are pretty limited not to mention all of the very nasty ingredients that they use... but I'm really excited becau...

Kind Lifer Ty-K Berry wrote a blog on his profile page about his journey to veganism and it is truly amazing!  Take a look...

"My VEGAN Story:

OK my story began almost a year ago. On Feb 5th 2009--I began my journey which would result in my becoming vegan in less than 8-months after being carnivorous my entire 64 year life. Why? Anyone might ask! First I hated being over 200 lbs so on my own I developed a plan to rid myself of 30 lbs in about 3 months time. Lost 26 lbs the first 2 months.

I had some delicious truffles sent to my dressing room the other day.  They are made by ChocAlive! and they were so good!  I think my favorite one was the Pistachio flavor.  They were all so delicious though... it's hard to pick a favorite!

The truffles are raw vegan gluten-free and organic. They make other things too like ice cream Italian ices chocolate mousse and chocolate syrup.  I haven't tried those yet but they're definitely on my list! If you end up trying some of their other tr...
