Sunflower Café – An Organic Gem On Crescent Beach
on September 12, 2011 in Cafe, Organic, Surrey, Vegan, Vegetarian
How beautiful was this past weekend? My goodness! To take advantage of the gloriously hot & sunny Sunday, we headed over to Crescent Beach near White Rock (but technically apart of South Surrey). A bit of a lengthy drive, we were famished once we finally arrived from the roughly one-hour trip from Kits. There are [...]
Papalani Gelato Review (Kauai, Hawaii)
on July 7, 2011 in Dessert, International, Vegan
After eating super sweet Hawaiian style hot dogs at Puka Dog (next to Poipu Tropical Burgers at the Poipu Shopping Village), we thought why not wash them down with more sweetness?

Chipotle Mexican Grill – Northgate (Seattle, WA)
on May 17, 2011 in International, Mexican, Organic, Seattle, Vegan, Vegetarian
We usually try and hit up as many Chipotles as possible during our trips to the States (yeah, we’re crazy like that). Their Northgate Mall location is superb – consistent food (large portions, great quality) and excellent service (friendly, quick, and efficient). Chipotle Mexican Grill only uses the freshest of ingredients, so none of its [...]
The Templeton Diner Review
on April 14, 2011 in Breakfast, Brunch, Burgers, Diner, Downtown, Organic, Vegan, Vegetarian
Lately, it feels as though we’ve been on an episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives! We recently tried a couple decent diners: The Red Wagon diner in East Vancouver and Joe’s Grill on 4th Avenue.
