You’ve heard of avocado toast. In fact, you’ve had so much avocado toast, you might be getting sick of it. (Can a person even get tired of avocado toast?) If you’re looking to spice up your avocado toast game, but aren’t ready to let go of that beautiful green-colored shmear on your warm bread, guacamole […]
Read MoreYou’re pregnant. Your feet are a little swollen, your moods are up and down and all around, and oh boy, those cravings! It doesn’t help that your stomach is doing something weird (and usually a little gross) every day. You read all the books. You are one prepared mama, even if it doesn’t feel like […]
Read MoreYou may or may not know this about me, but I’m a slut for a good salad. Especially one with a lot of nuts. And this salad happens to be one of my favorite go-to’s. It has a great texture, a lot of crunch, and is full of plant-based protein. This salad takes about five […]

And by help, I mean provide you with recipes that you’ll spend less time making than you’ll probably spend reading this article.

Read MoreLike many vegans, I rely on hummus as a go-to in times both dire and plentiful. Going to a potluck (remember those from the before times?) with a feeling that the only options will be dried-out carrot sticks and pretzels? Grab some hummus on the way there to keep your hanger at bay. You and […]
Read MoreSometimes, a girl just needs to be so goddamn awake all the time that she could beat reality in a staring contest. Enter, my extreme love of coffee. I can’t explain it but I’m not complaining. It keeps me perky and productive. It might stain my teeth, but it makes the whole house smell like […]
Read MoreMaybe it’s the Californian in me, but it just doesn’t feel like summer without a state fair: the poke of straw into the tender skin between your toes, the scent of onion rings gently settling in your hair, the dull ache of defeat as you try and fail to persuade a blue-ribbon goat to let […]
Read MoreWhen you’re a parent, you think your kid is awesome and great and better than any kid that has ever existed. Then they become a toddler. It’s almost like your child turns into an untrained puppy. Pooping in the middle of the floor? Yep. Chewing on things that may or may not be food? Mmhmm. […]
Read MoreI have a knee-jerk reaction to ignore so much of the parenting advice on the internet. First, a lot of it just seems arbitrary and judge-y. (Second, a lot of it seems downright wrong — I’m not here to provide receipts, but I’m sure you’ve found plenty of your own evidence in this category!) But […]
Read MoreI had big plans to be a super chill mom when my first baby was born. Whatever happened, I’d roll with it—I’d stay calm, the baby would stay calm, and it would all be super, super chill. Cut to me sobbing within ten minutes of returning home from the hospital with my new baby because […]
Read MoreAs fun as it is to be lathered in grease after finishing off a giant bag of chips (I’m looking at you, Cool Ranch Doritos), it’s less fun with the pimple breakouts and guilt trips loved ones give you when they’re looking for the empty bag you’ve hidden out of shame. Here are some satisfyingly […]
Read MoreMost of us agree that Black Lives Matter is a legitimate call for social justice. Well, all of us except for that weird relative who likes being loud and wrong on Facebook. Now the question is: how can we support the movement without being physically present? So, if you are serious about wanting to help, […]
Read MoreWe all start with the best of intentions. Get stuff done early. Well, on time. Okay, within a reasonable 24-hour timeframe after it’s supposed to be done. But then, life happens and we get tired (or annoyed) and put it off. Here are some tips for surviving your own ridiculous and totally normal procrastination habits. […]
Read More(In the voice of Sophia Petrillo) Picture this: you spent an hour making dinner for the family. All food groups were represented. You barely even spilled anything on the counter! You are PROUD. And then, you hear those four little words: Mom, what’s for dessert? Well, shit. You tell them to grab an apple and […]
Read MoreWith my right boob inside of my newborn’s mouth, I look at the clock and wonder, what has become of me? I’m a shell of the woman that I used to be. Pre-Baby Sujeiry (PBS) was a hot piece of ass with highlighted hair that framed her beat face, a tiny yet mighty rack, tight […]
