Simple Vegan Buddha Bowls w/ Sundried Tomato Tahini Dressing & Savory Granola {oil-free} sweetsimplevegan.comBowls, bowls, bowls, what a beautiful thing. I truly believe my food taste better when it is presented in an aesthetically pleasing way. Bowls are a normal part of my weekly (even daily) routine, whether it be a sweet or savory combination, simply because they are SO EASY to put together. Honestly, you can even just take all of those leftovers in the fridge, or whatever you have on hand and want to dive into in your kitchen. Voila, a munch worthy, and most importantly, insta-worthy ;) meal. Ya'll love when I post bowls on my feed, so it was only fitting to finally share a full on recipe for a nutrient dense bowl on my blog.Simple Vegan Buddha Bowls w/ Sundried Tomato Tahini Dressing & Savory Granola {oil-free} sweetsimplevegan.com

Vegan Camping: What To Pack (Food w/ Recipes, Supplies & More!) sweetsimplevegan.com In order to pack for our camping trip, Chris and I scoured the internet for a checklist and the most credible one we came across was from REI, which the below was created from :) Check out the other two posts part of this series recap of our camping trip: My number one tip: before purchasing anything, try to borrow your supplies! I'm sure you have friends or family that are outdoor adventurers (or at least thought they were at some point) that have supplies that they can loan you. You may think you don't, but I encourage you to ask around first, because you never know what you will discover! We borrowed almost all of our supplies, from my brother & his girlfriend + my parents, and this saved us a ton of money, stress, and time!   Below is a list of everything that we packed on our trip! I am not saying that you need to bring all of this, or that you won't need anything else, but I want to give you a good idea/base for your trip as a vegan camper :)  Vegan Camping: What To Pack (Food w/ Recipes, Supplies & More!) sweetsimplevegan.com

We started our day, of course, at the Hollywood Farmer's Market for breakfast, then set off to SD in the afternoon. CRSSD started at noon I believe, but since the two musicians we wanted to see were later that night (Gorgon City and Chet Faker), we took our time and swung by Bar Kindred upon our arrival. I have a rough list of to visit spots in SD and I was able to cross one of them off during this trip, Bar Kindred in South Park.
