C’est La Vegan

Ah, Biscuits and Gravy, one of Ryan’s all-time favorite dishes.  Before I stopped eating meat, I’d never had “real” biscuits and gravy.  Being the picky eater that I was, the idea of blobby, white sausage gravy grossed me out.  Gravy was definitely not something I ate as a kid, and even as an adult I [...]

The other day when I was looking for a particular post, I came across this photo in a draft that I had totally forgotten about.  I have no idea how this slipped through the cracks!  I meant to write about it this summer, and just forgot I guess.  Poor loaf.
I made this when Ryan and [...]

I love strawberries, but no matter how many I eat, I always seem to have a bunch left-over in the fridge.  I usually end up dealing with them once half of them are past saving, and I cut the rest up and throw them in the freezer for smoothies.  I know that next time I [...]

We’re so excited to say that after a lot of work, we’re finally ready to launch the new website and online store for C’est La V Bakeshop!  I say “we” did a lot of work, but the bulk of it was done by Ryan and our good friend Robert of LoopLava.  With the new online [...]

Ah, Hugo’s Tacos -  so good, so fast, and so affordable.  We love this place, and like both of Hugo’s Restaurants, there are lots of vegan options.  It’s also a great place to go if not everyone in your group is vegetarian, because there’s something for everyone.  Another bonus is that Hugo’s uses really high [...]

We went to Vegas for my cousin’s wedding this past weekend (congrats Michael and Sheraleen!) and of course made a stop at Ronald’s Donuts!  I’d never been there before, but Ryan had brought some back for me on a past trip.  Normally I’m more a fan of cake donuts, but these things are pretty amazing.  [...]

C’est La V Bakeshop goodies are now available at Locali in Hollywood!  We’ve been in talks with them for several weeks and were finally able to coordinate schedules to set up an order.  This morning I dropped off lots of cookies (mini and large), muffins and brownies.  Locali is a great spot with lots of [...]

Every Sunday morning we walk up to the Farmer’s market to get our produce for the week, and this morning, the weather was absolutely perfect!  To make a good start to the day even better, when we got to the market we found the first cherries of the season!  In California, we’re really lucky to [...]

I was looking around the Baking Bites website one day and I came across this recipe for Sugar Donut Muffins that looked really yummy and really easy to veganize.  This actually does taste like a delicious cross between a donut and a muffin.  I’ve since made some tweaks to the recipe, but I’ll post the [...]
