Napa, CA and yummy things ...

I just got back from a lovely trip to Napa, CA. Pictured above is Chimney Rock Vineyard; I loved all their wines! A shout out to Lava Vine is also essential (pictured below). They run a very fun tasting room in Calistoga, CA and also have amazing wines. They let some chickens roam around too.

I was up late last night since I was on California time, so I caught up on my Housewives episodes. This morning, I had to drive out to Long Island to pick up my sweet Chewie from his doggie hotel.

If you need help training your dog, or have a little dog that needs a very posh in-home daycare or boarding, check out Little Paws of Hope in Levittown, NY. Hope has converted her dining room into a play room for the doggies! She has leopard print chaise lounges for the pooches! Only the best for Chewie. ;)

Reunited and it feels so good ... xoxo

Today, I made some no-crabby salad as I like to call it (it's from the Crazy Sexy Kitchen cookbook - it's the crab cakes mix minus molding them into crab cakes and frying them). It's just hearts of palm (which shockingly taste much like crab meat when pulsed in the food processor and tossed with Old Bay Seasoning) ... diced red bell pepper ... some nooch ... vegenaise ... and pepper. Yum!

I also made my Sweet Potato Curry with Spinach and Chickpeas and basmati rice for dinner. Mmmm.

I like to put a smidge of tofu sour cream on top.

Vegan Chocolate Eggnog Martini

My doggie Jacques knows a good martini when he sees one!

Ingredients:
1 shot vodka
3 shots Silk brand vegan eggnog
1 spoonful of cocoa powder
1 cinnamon stick

Shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a cinnamon stick. Mmm mmm. Good.

Jacques continues to be too cute for words. <3

I went to Arizona for Christmas. It was warm and I was very, very happy. :)

Now, as promised, some travel photos thrown in. :)

Two of my passions in life are eating well and travel. I just got back from a, much needed, 3 week vacation in Spain. I feel refreshed and ready to start my final year of graduate school. (Ok, maybe I'd like 3 more weeks, but I digress...) :)

Unfortunately, Spain is not veggie or vegan friendly ~ at all. ugh. I knew that was going to be the case, but I really wasn't prepared for just how meat-centric it really is! I did, however, manage to find vegan yogurt and a few vegan-friendly spots.

San Sebastian was my favorite spot. I want to learn Basque and move there! :)
Enjoy!

News update...

Unfortunately, I haven't had much time lately to test out exciting new recipes to post. My current schedule of work, school, and an internship is not leaving me time for much of anything.

Good news though ... the boy and I are going to Arizona during my spring break in March for a friend's wedding. yay! I can't wait to see sun again! NYC has been so dark, cold, and gloomy for the past few weeks ...

In even better news, I think the boy and I have settled on an extended trip to Spain for three weeks in August! whoo hoo! My crazy schedule finally finishes up at the end of July. I'll then be quitting my job and going to school full-time for the last year of my Masters program. :) I decided that I had better get that trip in there while I was job-free. Who knows when the next time will be that I get to take a trip like that! :)
