LA in Pictures

I can't wait to go back to LA. Not gonna lie, I'm entertaining the idea of moving down there.

The Airport. I was totally looking forward to eating at The Plant Cafe in Terminal 2 (Virgin America!)


Thai Tofu Peanut Wrap

On the plane (HEALTHY VODKA?? I think so.) :


Motel :

 The Fridge

Late night dinner, after seeing my pal Johnny Render perform at TAIX. The best burrito of my life. MY LIFE! Burrito King, I shall see you again soon!

Pressed Juicery (Here's a little post on Vegansaurus that I wrote about it.)


 Mohawk Bend :

 Buffalo Cauliflower and Wilted Kale Salad



PETA Headquarters (right next to my motel!)

My motel was in Echo Park, right by the Peta Headquarters.


Echo Park/Silverlake at Sunset :



Flore Cafe in Silverlake:
  Portobella Mushroom Tacos

BBQ 'Bacon' Slider


BABYCAKES! This was super exciting for me because I use the cookbook at work. The gluten free chocolate snoballs at Source are adapted from the Healthy Hostess recipe!

Red Velvet cake top and Hostess cupcake. 

In all honesty, I was a little disappointed with the Hostess. Actually, both. The frostings were amazing, but the cake was a little dry. I am hoping this is because they were stored in a fridge (cake in a fridge? WHY?) and therefore not at room temperature. Maybe they were old? I wasn't really into the downtown location and will try the other LA venue next time. I have had Babycakes before, when a friend drove some cupcakes up from LA and I JUST LOVED THEM. So, yeah, kinda disappointed this time around.



Half of these pics are taken with Instagram. I just got my very first iPhone, so I'm Instagramming my way through life! Follow me at jennybradleyyo.

Greetings From LA!

I'm down south and it's just wonderful. Well, except for the yelling match I just got into with my ex in West Hollywood, but that's for a different day! How he's going to pick up his phone and bike from my motel room - I just don't know how this will turn out. Honestly, most of the time we are friends. Maybe I did just ditch him and hopped on a bus and he has no way to get ahold of me or his stuff, but really, nobody calls me 'a sideshow that they are just watching' because I got mad about some other stuff that I won't go into detail with. Whatever, he's from LA, he'll figure it out. I'm not a monster. Usually.
Though I can't help but feel like the earlier part of this day was a little over-dramatic, I did get to go to Pressed Juicery! I came down here to see my friend Jensen Rufe perform a show at TAIX, now time for Babycakes and Pressed Juicery. Two out of three items accomplished. Babycakes tomorrow? We'll see.

I'm saving the beet one, but I did have greens 3. I loved it. Raw, organic veggie juice - love, love, love!

I happen to be staying in Echo Park, right next to the PETA headquarters.


My friend Britney introduced me to this song about a week ago. Everyone loves it! I do too. I've been listening to it a lot on my trip, but just cause the video is kinda rad. Believe it or not, I've never had a breakup so bad, someone changes their number. Maybe?
