Disheartening Presidential Election Conversations Over Coffee at Lavender & Honey
[The following opinions on the 2016 presidential election are a reflection of the blog’s author and not the restaurant featured.] At 7:30am this morning Lauren, Hope, and I sat at a corner table in the small coffee shop Lavender and Honey in Pasadena. While I wish we were having a typical morning conversation on lighthearted
Join the Carb Revival with Mr. Holmes Bakehouse
Earlier this month Mr. Holmes Bakehouse opened their first location in Los Angeles. The excitement that ensued when people found the brand behind the cruffin would make its way to Los Angeles was loud and clear. Like girls running after a SUV hiding Justin Bieber, you might want to get out the way. In a
Delight in a Casual Brunch of Cornflake-Crusted French Toast
As a kid, any Sunday that began with church was immediately followed by breakfast at a restaurant. After praising the lord, my family and I would hop in our teal colored mini-van and head over to a place to eat. It’s nothing revolutionary, but it quickly became an event I looked forward to. Even as
A Spectacular Brunch from the Little KTCHN That Could
Aging is inevitable. Cry if that’s news to you, but it’s impossible to fight the maturation process and as badly as we may wish to have the Benjamin Button disease, we can’t. As my age has increased in years, I’ve noticed that my number of friends has decreased in quantity. If you let out a
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)
4 Reasons Why I Hate High Tea and Don’t Give a Sh*t What Anyone Says
Can we drop the “high tea is so amazing” propaganda already? It’s not. Sure it looks beautiful, but that’s about it. This post comes long after having high tea with a few food friends at The Living Room in The Peninsula in Beverly Hills. Prior to arriving, I asked a few friends their opinion of
Bread and Porridge Has a Brunch to Get You Out of Bed
If you don’t spend your Saturday morning rolling yourself into a burrito under your sheets, you’re missing out on the best activity to start the day. As much as I love spending an insane amount of time in bed, I equally love eating at the top of the morning. That might sound like a pair
Mr. Holmes Bakehouse Wants to Be Your Neighbor
Remember that time you had to go to the DMV? I know, it’s a horrible memory but stay with me. You pulled into the parking lot and you saw the line wrap around the building, not once but twice. Well, expect that same length of a line minus the horrible customer service at the grand
A Sunday Brunch So Good You Should Skip Church, Sorry Jesus
Although I may be up early every day to exercise before work, I’m not a morning person. This is especially true when it comes to the weekends—Sunday in particular. If you see me awake before 10am on a Sunday, it’s because I’m going to church. There’s very little aside from the Lord that will get
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
