Making my way through the planets: Venus Restaurant Review

Hello Friends! I've been meaning to post this for a while, but haven't got around to it. Without further ado, here is my review on Venus! ~~~ After many months of wanting to try Venus, I finally got the chance to try it out with one of my good friends, Debbie. (On a side note, I think it’s pretty funny to see how many restaurants and bars in Berkeley that are named after planets- Jupiter, Saturn and now Venus. I’m waiting for the other planets...

Rangoon Superstar: Burmese Style Cuisine

Happy Thursday my friends!  Thanks to the contributions of our US Presidents back in the day, I was able to happily enjoy my Monday off as well as a shortened week of school. I'm SO glad tomorrow is Friday! :) Anyway, today's post is about Rangoon Superstar, a Burmese ethnic cuisine place down Telegraph Ave. My mom came to visit me and I wanted to take her to a place she has not tried before here in Berkeley. So at around dinner time,...

Pieology Gfree Pizza Pies

Hello loves! Happy (late) Valentine's Day! I hope all of you had a fantastic time celebrating and spending time with your loved ones.

Today's post is another of my food adventures here in Berkeley. This time, my two friends from church decided that 1) we never...

Saturn Cafe

Greetings my dear readers! I hope your holiday season was lovely and full of tasty food, fun and other shenanigans. My last semester at Berkeley has already started and I must say I have a rather nasty case of senioritis and the work has not even begun yet! Today, I wanted to share another foodie destination spot that most Berkeley folk have eaten at or passed by on the way to class near the Starbucks on Center and Oxford. I’m talking about...

Giving thanks for the Small Things

To our dear readers~ I have a confession to make. For the past month, I have been regretfully in a state of seemingly perpetual writer's block. It is extremely frustrating to not be able to produce something for our blog readers each month, let alone each week. Despite somewhat of a setback, I wanted to write this post for our dedicated readers and supporters who have given us inspiration from Day 1. We are forever grateful. Thank you.  ________________________________________________________________________________ In...

Sweet Treats for my Gfree Peeps- Halloween Edition!

Hi All! I know this is super late, but as Halloween is tomorrow, I thought it would be appropriate to write about safe candies for gfreers to eat.  Most candies are usually gluten free except for ones that have cookie bits or other flour products inside the candy or are processed in a facility that also processes wheat. Here is a non-exhaustive list of safe and not safe products to eat:  GLUTEN FREE CANDY Baby Ruth Butterfinger...

Are we getting too sensitive??

Hi everyone! So, I admit that I've been absolutely terrible at keeping up with the blog posts. I hate to use the phrase, 'life happens' because that would just be an even more terrible excuse as to why I haven't been posting. I believe that in life, if something is important to you, you WILL make time for it. No excuses. No if, ands, or buts. Although my sorry excuse of not having time to post kinda is the truth, I think it's because there hasn't been a great deal of inspiration for me to write. Until last week. I was at an event for one of...
