    Villa Blanca

    I go to Beverly Hills a few times a year.  Sometimes I go to shop.  Other times I go to eat + drink.  Occasionally I go to people watch.  If I’m going to do all three, I always stop for brunch at Villa Blanca (want proof? check out this post from seven years ago)- a few short steps off of Rodeo Drive and you enter a bright white place to sip, dine, + stare.

  • VEGAN BBQ JACKFRUIT BOWL

    VEGAN BBQ JACKFRUIT BOWL

    This vegan recipe for an 8 Layer BBQ Jackfruit Bowl is delicious.

    This vegan recipe for an 8 Layer BBQ Jackfruit Bowl is delicious.

    This Vegan BBQ Jackfruit Bowl is full of so much deliciousness (8 layers of deliciousness to be precise!). It is also prepared the way that I make so many of my lunches: a lot of the materials are already prepped and flavored, but there are enough modifications and homemade additions to make it special + somewhat impressive.

    I rotate through a few different options, but this power toast is by far my favorite.

    Why?

    It’s quick. Simple. Delicious. Filling. And packed with so many benefits.
