C'est La Vegan

The Boundary Waters in Northern Minnesota, and Sawbill in particular, are very special places for Ryan and his family. Up until the past few years, Ryan had gone there every summer of his life.  I’ve had the pleasure of joining him on several trips, including one where he proposed to me.  We also spent part [...]

Today our dog, Omar Little, turns 2!  Or that’s at least what it says on the papers from the rescue group where we adopted him.  They saved him from a shelter the day he was set to be euthanized, and before that he was a stray, so I don’t think we’ll ever know his exact [...]

When I studied abroad in London I was fortunate enough to enjoy several afternoon teas.  I love sweets, I love sandwiches, and I actually prefer tea to coffee, so a classic tea is a little piece of heaven for me.  I know that my love of this tasty ritual informed my menu of baked goods [...]

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who came by our booth at Worldfest yesterday!  We had a great day of seeing old friends and meeting new ones.  Of course my favorite part is trying all the vegan food that’s available! And remember, if you are outside of LA and want to try some C’est La V goodies, [...]

UPDATE: I just wanted to thank everyone who came out to the Animal Acres Compassionate Cooking demo yesterday, and thanks to Lorri and Cameron for having me on as a presenter!  It was a beautiful day on the farm, and the speakers I was able to see gave really inspiring presentations.  I enjoyed meeting all [...]

UPDATE: The Green Lounge event was last night and we had a great time.  We met a ton of really nice people, both guests and vendors.
The highlights of the night were sampling some M Cafe wraps, Large Marge Sustainables kale soup and chickpea salad (both were delicious), and also trying some yummy vegan truffles [...]

I wanted to do a quick post letting you all know that this Sunday, March 28th, will be our last day at the Hollywood Farmers’ Market for the foreseeable future.  As much as we have truly enjoyed being a part of the market and meeting so many of our customers, we’ve unfortunately just not been [...]

That lucky Peanut Butter Brownie!  It got to go to the Olympics, and I didn’t…  Such is life.  Ryan was in Vancouver to shoot some stuff for a documentary he’s working on, and he was able to get a shot of one of his favorite treats getting in on the action too!
Between organizing everything for [...]

We have a new addition to the family – meet Omar Little Suffern!  What a face on that guy!  Maya is still not sure what to make of him, but we’ve fallen in love.  We adopted him last week from the rescue organization All the Same, Wild and Tame, who had saved him from a kill [...]

Hey, guys!  If you love food, you’ll want to head to Long Beach for this event on October 9th.  The proceeds from ticket purchases to go Animal Acres, and you get to eat tons of amazing vegan food from lots of different vendors, including C’est La V Bakeshop!  We’re really excited to be a part [...]

UPDATE: We just want to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the market today!  You helped make today a success, and we really appreciate the support.  Hope to see you next week!

I’m so excited to announce that C’est La V Bakeshop has been accepted into the Hollywood Farmers market!  We’ve [...]

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 [...]
