POWERED BY PLANTS! With the weather getting warmer, we’re looking to add in some light summer salads into our dinner rotations! #ad We partnered with @thefeedfeed to create this Mediterranean Farro Salad made with delicious fresh vegetables and @CascadianFarm’s Organic Hearty Blend with Farro, Broccoli, Carrots and Chickpeas! The Hearty Blend added some much needed texture and wholesome grains to our otherwise vibrant, vegetable forward salad. Top it off with some crumbled feta cheese, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of oregano + kosher salt and voilá! Shop #PoweredByPlants at Sunrise Health Foods in Chicago!

GOAT CHEESE + PEPPER JELLY! Sweet meets savory meets sour meets umami - this starter was so WELL BALANCED in flavor and unique in general! We love finding concepts on menus that approach food from a creative angle. Don’t sleep on this app the next time you’re at Lazy Dog! 🧀🌶🧄🥖
FARMERS MARKET FIND! 👩🏽‍🌾🧑🏽‍🌾 Stopped by the Wicker Park Farmers Market this weekend and ran into this ginormous arancini at the Sfera stand! Known for its Sicilian street food, this restaurant stole our hearts via our taste buds! 😋 The Wild Garlic Ricotta + Porcini arancini were *chefs kiss* 💋!!!
DO GOOD & EAT GOOD! This weekend we checked out Stand-Up Burger’s 🍔 Loop location - a new plant-based 🌱 burger concept that combines delicious foods and doing right by animals and the planet! 🌎 You all have followed along on our journey to eliminate animal meat from our diets and eateries like Stand-Up make the transition so much easier! Check out @eatstandupburgers two locations - the Loop (Lake & Wells) and Lakeview (Diversey & Broadway)! #StandUpBurgerShowDown
BREAKFAST BISCUITS! 🍞 🍓 When visiting Yosemite, many travelers stay in nearby towns ahead of a day’s hike. We chose to stay in Mariposa and stumbled upon this breakfast gem at the Sugar Pine Cafe. 🥞Operated by a husband/wife duo (she bakes in the back, he’s the friendly face at the front!), this cafe has freshly baked, drool-worthy baked goods and brunch items on its menu! You know this hole is the wall is GOOOOOD because it doesn’t even have an IG handle to be tagged!❣️
OH NOH KAUSWER! We’ve grown up eating authentic Burmese food at home. 🇲🇲 Imagine our delight when we had this experience recreated for us at @burmasuperstar while in SF! The restaurant’s version of Curry Khawsa was a SHOW STOPPER! 🍲 😋
EVERYTHING BUN! We searched far and wide from a unique brunch experience in SF and found it at Bread Belly! Here, we found beautifully baked breakfast pastries and eats, infused with Asian flavors! The onion jam was OUR JAM! 🥯 PS: don’t pass up the chicken karage! 🍗
B•E•C•A: Biscuit, Egg, Cheese and Avocado - California’s formula for the perfect breakfast sandwich! 🍳 🧀 🥑 And we have to agree! We were in search for the best BECA breakfast sandwich and found it at Devil’s Teeth Baking Co! Can’t wait to get our hands on this beauty once again! 😋
WILDSEED, San Francisco’s hottest plant-based restaurant, made it onto our SF Bucket List and was one of our favorite lunch spots! 🌱 Pictured here: Masala Dal Soup with the most delicious seeded flatbread! 🍛 This dish has inspired us to experiment with mung beans in our own kitchen!
ZOODLES + IMPOSSI-BALLS! Would you believe us if we told you this entire meal was VEGAN!? 🥬 Here’s how we did it:
DAHI PURI! Don’t you just love being welcomed with traditional meals whenever you visit your parents?!? 😋 DAD threw together this multi-layered/flavored/textured Dahi Puri dish using ingredients found in every South Asian home! Here’s what you’ll need to recreate this in your home:
EAT THE RAINBOW! 🌈 With the weather brightening up, we’ve been inspired to brighten up our dinners with vibrant colors and bold flavors! 💥 Here’s how we make our favorite Rainbow salad on a spring day:
