Tired of vegan snacks claiming to be a healthier alternative, yet full of oils and animal fat?
An unconventional solution could be right around the corner – in the form of a new crowd-funded effort. Inspired by and made in Ethiopia from injera (Dirkosh, a traditional teff food), the new vegan, gluten-free, and oil-free chip made the grain also supports women farmers and will employ at-risk individuals in Ethiopia.

This past weekend was the grand re-opening of Duckweed Urban Market in their new, larger residence at the bottom of the Element apartments in downtown Tampa. Not a far relocation from the quaint, smaller storefront just two blocks up next to the Hub on Polk Street.

Even then, I knew it wasn’t ‘good’ for me but would often make food runs and get multiple orders for the guards to scarf down between shifts.
Na-cho ordinary treat! Not until last Continue reading
Turns out you don’t have to travel too far for some good ole southern cookin’. You don’t even have to be a hipster at Smorgasburg in Brooklyn to get your hands on a vegan delicacy such as Chicken & Waffles. This is a great dish you can make for your friends and family, for breakfast, or dinner. I’ve always been a fan of Continue reading
