Motivation and inspiration across fitness, food, wellness and mental health
I’d come across this company on Instagram. I frankly struggled a bit to find out where they were physically located (in Connecticut), so I opted to order online. Everything arrived quickly (frozen). I went in with no expectations. I was thoroughly impressed with their take…
Went here for breakfast with my family this past week. We had a western omelet, a mickey mouse pancake (with banana and chocolate chips), and a traditional plate – with eggs, bacon, and home fries (potatoes). Service was fast and the food was good, not…
My latest dessert selection from Three Girls Vegan Downtown did not disappoint. It is included the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever had (vegan or not), a lovely sugar cookie, a funfetti donut, a sweet potato crumb cake, and one of the best cookies I’ve ever…

My favorite breakfast options are their Vegan BLT (House-made tempeh bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, cashew mayo on a multigrain roll), the Scrambled Tofu Wrap (Seasoned scrambled tofu, house-made hummus,…
