Open Source Organics Knows How to Make Healthy Food Taste Delicious

I can openly admit my faults and one of them is that I’m not the healthiest eater. You can probably tell from all my high caloric reviews or the way I walk around with my pants button undone. However you come to that conclusion, I am trying to eat better. That doesn’t mean I’m giving

True Food Kitchen Offers Simple and Charming Plates for the Holidays

If you can’t already tell, the holidays are right around the corner. Your neighbor has most likely overly decorated his front yard and you’re probably sick of hearing Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas” on the radio. If those sentences describe you even slightly, then that’s unfortunate because I love all of it. I

True Food Kitchen Brings Beautiful and Healthy Plates to Pasadena

I call the city of Altadena, CA home. It’s where my family and I grew up and even at my age, I haven’t moved out. The neighboring city, Pasadena, is where I find myself spending a decent amount of my free time. In my explorations of the city that is so close to home (literally)

Green Grotto’s Healthy Options will Make You Forget About Fast Food Forever

I think I’m sabotaging myself. And when I say “think”, you should really replace that with the words “clearly know”. The reason I say that is because I work out about 5 times a week, but the minute I leave the gym for some reason my car will always end up at the Chic-fil-A drive

Local Table in Downtown LA

Have you ever thought how much pressure we put on lunch? Sure breakfast is the most important meal of the day and dinner is communal, but lunch is the one that sustains us in a critical part of the day. Lunch is where we run to when we need something to fill us from being

Nekter in Pasadena

I’m getting fat. All my life I’ve been fat mentally, but more recently it’s starting to become physical. My fatness reached an all new low (or high) last week when I gorged on four Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches for no reason other than “I do what I want”. I hope you read that in Cartman’s

I’m not big on celebrating my birthday. I don’t need a party nor do I care for a ton of gifts patiently waiting to be opened by yours truly. Instead, I prefer to go to a restaurant with friends or coworkers and have a low-key meal. Earlier this month, a coworker took me out for

Saladish in Pasadena

My favorite time of the day is here: lunch! Err, but at the same time, my biggest struggle of the day is here too: what do I eat? Thankfully, that decision was made when I passed by Saladish in Pasadena. On Colorado Blvd. in Old Town, Saladish serves up healthy food that remains light and
