Whatcha Eatin ? - 2018

[KLS52]

So excited I got to go to a local Vegfest today.
I had pizza. A+

 

[KLS52]

Empanadas...the "beefsteak" with homemade seitan and onions was the best and really good.
The spinach, broccoli and cheese, and breakfast tofu ones were all thumbs down. Very disappointing.

 

[KLS52]

The cannoli was delicious.

 

[KLS52]

The hot dog was eh but my Omni friend loved it so it gets an A.

The vegetable korma I should have used full fat coconut milk, but used light instead.. It is good though!
I found the full fat can of coconut now

What kind of frank? And what all is it covered in, besides avo?

I think it was their own creation...didn't taste like any "brand" of veggie dog that I've had. It was soft and spicy. It was on a bed of cesaer salad, had tempeh bacon, avocado and a special aioli sauce.

 

[KLS52]

there were lots of samples but I can't believe how expensive most of the stuff was. The cannoli was $5...the hot dog was ten...pizza was eight...the empanadas were 4/$18 which would have been the best deal if I like more than one out of the four. the good thing is, there were four of us so we shared/tasted everything.

I passed on a lot of stuff...vegan ice cream that was $5 for one scoop... delicious looking donuts that they wanted $10 a piece for. That was absurd. Not a good way to gain converts. But I did get lots of coupons, free cookies, rice, quinoa. I also got to taste a lentil loaf that was kind of bland and some homemade vegan blue cheese that was good, but not great.

Oh, I only saw that picture!
I just hate when vegan foods are so overpriced! That sounds more so than regular food fests

 

[silva]

Is it just me or are vegan restaurant offering not as good as hoped?
My favorite restaurants just have vegan options.
I'm still upset that I never went to Chyrssie Hyndes Veggeteranian restaurant in Akron. It got such great reviews and known to have the best seitan and tofu dishes! That was when I first went veg and avoided faux meat stuffs

A Flatout light Italian wrap with one of my (crumbled) kale falafels & a bit of sautéed veggies, a little Go Veggie smoked provolone & shredded mozz-style... gonna have some no-salt Kettle chips on the side, a little cup of my vegan ranch....

 

[Second Summer]

Just had some left-overs: Rice, corn, spinach, salsa mixed with spicy seitan from the vegan festival we went to yesterday.

Also nibbling on pistachio nuts. They're growing on me.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

I set up a little mini-falafel station on the kitchen counter. The folks are back from the conference, didn't know if Dad wanted a snack (too spicy for Mom), he said he'd eat what I didn't....



Bits o' kale falafel, my vegan ranch (with sesame oil & extra dill weed), Roma tomato, Bessinger baby dills, and pieces of whole wheat pita.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

An itsy bitsy salad.... organic baby spring mix, my vegan ranch, fresh ground black pepper, & a sprinkle of nooch.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

A bit of my potato-broccoli sarcasserole & a falafel sammich. Spread a whole-grain sandwich slim with some of my leftover sauce from yesterday, added some sliced Roma tomato, some Chao cheese, a kale-falafel patty, and some baby spring greens.... You've already seen the sarcasserole, so....



It may look like a burger, but I guarantee it tastes nothing like one. Wooo-hooo, spicy falafel!!

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Munchin' a few fresh veggies (baby carrots, broccoli florets, grape tomatoes) dipped in my vegan ranch....

 

[PTree15]

Banana-peanut butter vegan ice cream.

 

[Moll Flanders]

Oats with chocolate soya milk and blueberries. I meant to soak them overnight. Green tea.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Some improv pasta... used the last tiny bit of the "cheesy" mushroom sauce, a little more olive oil, diced Roma tomato, nooch, basil, & a dash of cayenne (the sauce was a tad on the sweet side)....



Wow, that cayenne gives it a really nice kick... just enough, then just a touch more.

Marshwort berries. I absolutely adore them. And now it is the season. You can buy them at the farmers market and street vendors.
