Taco Tuesday, with $1 tacos, was a great opportunity to sample the Filipino/ Mexican fare of The White Rabbit Fusion Cafe. Since November 2010 the White Rabbit food tuck has roamed the LA area, Ventura, and Orange County.  Not a food truck chaser? Last November, the owners opened a restaurant in Canoga Park near the corner of Winnetka Avenue and Roscoe Boulevard. Filipino food is known for it’s blending of sweet and spicy flavors, and each taco choice is a… Read more

I recently picked up a copy of “Vegan Yum Yum,” a book published by one of my favorite vegan bloggers. The recipes in this thing are killer. So, naturally, I had to try my hand at one of the more interesting ones. Note, this is the first time I’ve ever had peanut butter in soup.
