Tasty Food

I have some great friends. They made all of this tasty food to share with me. The cupcakes above were decadent and delicious.

The sushi above was good and I am not a sushi fan.

My favorite however was the deviled potatoes. Wow! They are liked deviled eggs but vegan and with potatoes instead. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and then the insides were scooped out and filled with, I think, cashews, mustard, and turmeric. I couldn’t stop eating them even after being completely stuffed. I need to collect some recipes.

Chai-less Chai aka Turmeric Milk

Turmeric milk or what I like to call Chai-less chai is a delicious drink I’ve recently discovered. I like to call it chai-less chai since there is no tea or caffeine in it, but it still has all the great flavors from the spices. It’s so quick and easy; you should make some now!

Rouxbe Professional Plant-Based Course Task #5

This week I started my Rouxbe Professional Plant-Based Certification Course. It is going to be intense. There are over 400 tasks to complete in about six months. It has started off with a lot of reading and background information along with learning to use the class platform. I am really excited to be taking the course!

Tree House Restaurant–Saint Louis, MO

Tree House is an all vegetarian restaurant on Grand Blvd in Saint Louis. They are just down the street from Lulu’s and several other good spots. I found this one on happycow and was excited to try their brunch menu.

Lulu’s Local Eatery–Saint Louis, MO

Lulu’s Local Eatery came highly recommended by two friends with experience in the Saint Louis area. Reviews on happycow were also very positive. I made it my first food stop in the area. I was torn which entrée to get, so I ordered two. No regrets.

Trumpet Blossom–Iowa City, IA

While discussing my current road trip with a friend, he mentioned a 100% vegan place in Iowa of all places. I had to check it out. This morning, I left MN around sunrise and made it the 250+ miles for Trumpet Blossom’s opening at 11am. It was worth it.

Minneapolis Vegan Ice Cream Crawl

A group of us were talking at dinner a few weeks ago about how we should do a vegan ice cream crawl in Minneapolis. Sample all the vegan ice cream places in Minneapolis in one day? Could we do it? Laura and I really liked this idea, and this is the result.
