Happy Birthday Christina!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINA!!! <333

23 years ago, A star was born, a gorgeous multi talented and sweestest person ever in the history was born on this beautiful day and her name is Christina A. Riley. My partner in crime, (lol) food crimes. The better half of this food blog, <3333

After a few years of my friendship with her, it feels like we've been friends since lifetimes and lifetimes ago. I feel like I known you forever. I knew from the beginning when we first met,we would be great friends! You have such a positive vibe and energy.  When you meet someone and you can feel their geunine care and love for you , it's the most beautifulest thing in the world. I am so happy and lucky to be your friend. Everyone I bring you around feels the same exact way. My family loves you , my friends love you. You are so rare, everything you do is so wholeheartly beautiful. 

In my darkest times you were there for me, you always give me the best advice and you never judge me or make me feel shitty, I cried on your shoulder when I was heartbroken and you always try cheered me up.  I dont know to honestly explain how much I care about you and I apperciate every single thing you do! I just do! You are so beautiful inside and out, It breaks my heart that you don't see how amazing you are. You are so awesome and whenever you are feeling low or whenever you need me you know I will be there for you. 

I just got this friendship poetry book for Xmas and Every single of these poem are you. They describe you. My friendships are very important to me. I cherish them and I cherish you so here is one the poems... (it's really hard to pick one because they are all so good) lol

I'm Lucky to Have a Friend like You 

There are many people

that we meet in our lives

but only a very few 

will make a lasting impression

on our minds and hearts

These people will always

listen and talk to you

They will care about your happiness 

and well-being

They will like you for who you are

and they will support you at all times

It is these rare people that we will think of often

and who will always remain important to us

as true friends

I am fortunate to have you

 for my true friend

 Christina, I love you and I wish you nothing but the best and beyond it!

Happy New Years!: "Stuff I Eat" Vegan Restaurant!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!

I'm so happy to be back and ready for more delicious food this year! I'm sorry Christina and I have been M.I.A after the amazing vacation to New Zealand and the holidays were coming around the corner aka Holiday Food Frenzy Galore, so we've been slacking on going to restuarants but it's a New Year, We will be Better Moms to this blog!  Aaaand that means our baby turned 1 years old!!!!! :D I started this blog in January 2015 and now It's Jan 2016 and I cant believe. Last year went sooooo fast for us , I blinked and It was gone. 

Awhile back our close friend Theresa (you guys have seen her before in our other posts), reccomended us to go this Vegan Restuarant called "Stuff I Eat" after watching Buzzfeed famous video about the restuarant in Inglewood! Which is my hometown, so I had to represent. And after watching the video and seeing how young looking the owner of the place is, She is 60 years old by the way but looks late 30's by just eating Vegan Food made us want to try out her delicious, raving vegan food!!!

So finally after months of saying it and 2 other recommedations of this place we finally went!

When you first step in , it's feels like an art gallery, jazz music in the backround and unique pieces of art everywhere and of course the smell of really good food makes me felt welcomed.

Here was a small preview what they got in store for you next to the free water.

The Menu! <3

After a few debates in my mind what to get, I really looking forward to trying...

Organic Soul Food Platter, so many people aka Buzzfeed reccommended me this dish! So I had try it out! <3333 

Theresa was debating to get the biscuits and gravy Or Soul Food, She is southern gurl and she loves her biscuits and gravy but she decided to get the same dish as me, The Soul Food Platter! <333

Christina decided to get the SIE Quesadilla <3333

We went to order our fooood in the front .

I like that we could see what they were doing and how they prepare our food freshly! <333

While we wait in line, picture time of course! <333

 We were all excited, we never tried vegan food before. The only thing I ever tried that was vegan was desserts, like cupcakes, cakes, and oh yeah actually lasgana too! lmao and guess what, They taste so good! I must say even better than the non vegan, So I was very excited to try this restuarant out! Especially The Soul Food Platter!!! yuuummm...

We waited for awhile, we were starving and ready to eaaaat! While waiting Theresa made this cuuuute napkin plane lmaooo

After 30 mins of waiting and making silly faces later, The Foood Arrived! 

The Soul Food Platter contains of,

Mac and Cheese

Yams

Cornbread

Coleslaw/Salad

Potato Salad

Black Eyed Peas

Kale

and BBQ Tofu! <333

SIE Quesadilla  is vegan cheese quesadialla, topped with corn, salsa, guacamole, and side salad!

and then We dive on in! 

My tastebuds was mindblowed again! I swear Vegan food is too damn good! Especially this Organic Soul Food Platter! 

Let's break this down shall we! 

SOUL FOOD PLATTER! <3333

• Mac and Cheese 5/5 : So good legit taste like real mac and cheese!!!
• Yams: 5/5 Not too sweet, not too mushy, just amazing!
• Coleslaw: 3/5 I'm not huge fan of regular coleslaw but this was pretty darn good
• Cornbread: 1/5 Naww, I dont need it. It was dry.
• Kale: 4/5 Holy Snaaaaap, I didnt know kale would taste so damn good, but I must say it was quite salty.
• Black Eyed Peas 5/5: You have won me to the dark side! lmao I am offically love Black Eye Peas! it taste so delicious and it has this nice kick, like it has curry in it! Just loooove it! 
• BBQ TOFU 5/5: I looooved it! I wanted more, it had texture of real meat and it taste like I was eating meat I love it! I would have never known I was eating tofu! and the BBQ sauce on that thang was delcious! 

Theresa : "The macaroni n' cheese and was my favorite part. The tofu ribs were pretty good and I don't even like tofu. I would just recommend ordering extra ribs because of the small portions."

Christina: The quesadilla was odd to say the least, at first I didn't think I'd like it. The odd thing was it was really good. Although the way I will describe it will sound unappetizing but never the less is was still good. The tortilla part itself was a little sweet and really light. The vegan cheese tasted like A nacho cheese chip that was condensed into a sauce. And considering i am really picky when it comes to cheese, it was pleasantly surprised that I liked it. 

Christina: Now for dessert we got the sweet potato pie, that was so heavenly it made my eyes water. Even Theresa, who hates sweet potato could have a couple bites. 

Tia: We wanted to cry that how good it was, lol This was amazing! From the first bite to the last bite! <3333 It was honestly better than any other sweet potato pie I ever had in my life! I would just go there for the sweet potatoe pie!

They had this really cool looking chair at the front of the resturant so before we left I had to go seat in it lmao! I felt like a Queen lmao. 

OVERALL

Christina: Would I go back? Probably. Would I get the quesadilla? Probably not next time, they have a lot more stuff on the menu for me to try.

Tia: I really enjoy everything so yes I would love to go here again. I would try something new too, like a burrito or a sandwich. And I loooove to have a taste of that sweet potato pie again! <3333 

Thanks for checking out our blog and I hope you will keep on following us with our foodie adventures this year!!! We are also concluding yummy recipes too! We have a great one for next month that I hope you will enjoy! Love the support! <333 Wish nothing but the best in everything you do, be happy, and always enjoy great food! <3333

Love and peace!,

Christina & Tia
