Sunday, November 30th

Yes, back again for the third day in a row. We were pleased that no one at the restaurant made mention of it...
Today's Succulent...
After spending some time in the woods cutting down thorny vines, I refreshed myself with a Suja Essential, per FF's rec. Very good... 
Woodland's Vegan Bistro Ham with Pineapple and Raisins for dinner...
Peppermint Cookies & Creme Chocolate Bark for dessert. Mindblowing...
Still lots of carryout items from Woodland's and Sticky Fingers coming up this week. Bye for now.

Saturday, November 29th

I dont know why, but my 'Tofu Scramble Wrap' at True Food Kitchen this morning was better than ever....
Perhaps it was because Mr. SVegetarian generously gave me the Avocado from his 'Teriyaki Brown Rice Bowl'.  Next visit I plan to ask for a side of Avocado with my Wrap and see how that plays out...
...the cute llittle Succulent on our table...
Dinner was a 'Chicken Ranch Wrap'...
...that I picked up from Sticky Fingers on Thursday...
As is usually the case, the Wrap would have been better had I let it get to room temp before consuming, but it was pretty delicious cold..
Sarah recently made a batch of Cranberry Almond Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies. About a dozen of those bad boys found their way to my door step this afternoon (along with some handmade Peppermint Bark). If only she would just open a vegan bakery and be done with it...
Just one more day of vacation over-indulgence left. Bye for now.

Friday, November 28th

Today felt like Saturday, so off we went to True Food Kitchen for brunch. Because it was actually Friday, they werent serving brunch. Albout 70% of my problems would be solved if LPQ would bring back the Tofu Scramble, that said, my 'Andy's TLT' $12 was delicious...
Kale Salad on the side...We were hoping those were just Bread Crumbs on the Salad...
Mr. SVegetarian and I split a 'Coconut Banana Chia Pudding' $7 for dessert from lunch...
I always enjoy the little pots of succulents they have on each table. So cute...
WF's Breaded Tofu with Roasted Butternut Squash for dinner...
Half a piece of Sweet and Natural's Vanilla Chocolate Creme Cake for dessert from dinner...
Will try again to get brunch tomorrow. Bye for now.

Thursday, November 27th

In case you didn't know, Native Foods offers an AYCE Thanksgiving buffet for $24.95/pp...
I picked them for our Thanksgiving feast because they allow one to enjoy beer or wine with the meal. Something I couldn't do at Loving Hut or Woodland's Vegan Bistro....
was very impressed with the Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Gravy, Green Bean Casserole and Cornbread...Didn't try the Polenta Butternut Squash Terrine, but Mr. SVegetarian liked it very much...
Not so impressed with the Seitan Wellington...Served ala Roast Beef...Glad I didn't pre-order one to go...
Didn't taste the cold Salads...
In retrospect, I would have felt better had I just eaten Salad...
my first plate...
second plate was just Mashed Potatoes and Stuffing...
the dessert options...Pumpkin Cheesecake...Didn't try this, but, again, Mr. SVegetarian approved it...
...Brownies and Pumpkin Pie...
I went for the Pumpkin Pie. Mr. SVegetarian said he liked it, but I wasn't so impressed...
Native Foods did a great job keeping the people and food moving. Everyone working there was so cheerful and friendly. I know my pics make it look like a dinky affair, but there was a full buffet set-up on both levels of the restaurant and the quality of the food was top notch. Wegman's PB and some Carob Chips for a 'late night' snack...
Before we hit up Native Foods, I stocked up at Sticky Fingers and Woodland's, so their grub will be featured over the next week. Bye for now.

Wednesday, November 26th

The WF's Everything Bagel continues to astound with its ability to hang onto Everything..
A bowl of LPQ White Bean Soup for lunch...
A Gardein Stuffed Turk'y Cutlet with WF's Gravy and Farmers Market Roasted Brussels Sprouts for dinner...
Wegman's PB for dessert...
I made reservations for the holiday meal tomorrow. Tune in tomorrow night to find out how it went. Bye for now.

Tuesday, November 25th

Today started off exactly as yesterday did..
kept with the program through lunch...
began to differentiate a little from yesterday with WF's Breaded Tofu for dinner...
several WF's Chocolate Truffles for dessert. These are so great...
I predict an Everything Bagel to start the day tomorrow. Bye for now.

Monday, November 24th

Yes, the Pumpkin Pancakes are still viable, if a little dented, after all this time. Two more left and then I will make another batch (in case anyone was wondering)...
Homemade Vegetable Soup for lunch (used Collards in honor of FF)...
A Gardein Stuffed Cutlet with WF's Mushroom Gravy and Roasted Farmers Market Brussel Sprouts for dinner...
Almond Milk Mocha Almond Fudge for dessert. I looked for Chocolate Obsession in the store, but didn't see it...
Super great food day. Even the Brussel (Brussels?) Sprouts were good. Bye for now.

Sunday, November 23rd

Mr. SVegetarian said he wanted to go to Busboys and Poets for breakfast this morning, and, as you know, I am all about pleasing my man. Fortunately, my 'Vegan Egg Scramble', though unusually salty, was better than the 'Vegan Egg Wrap' I had last time, so I wont give up on the place...
Speaking of giving up, I admit I had a problem with excess Homemade Vegetable Soup the past couple weeks. Mr. SVegetarian helped me eradicate the last batch, but I still had veggies to be used and so, yes, I made another huge pot of Vegetable Soup today. This Soup is better than the last Soup, so it wont be as difficult to get through...
The Tiramisu Cake really did a number on me last night, woke up at 2am wide awake and starving, so just a bowl of Lesser Evil Himalayan Pink for dessert...
Tomorrow is Monday. Bye for now.

Saturday, November 22nd

Breakfast was the 'Tofu Scramble Wrap' at True Food Kitchen... Mr.SVegetarian ate half, so I wasn't too stuffed...
The Mosaic District, where True Food Kitchen and LPQ are located, has some real cute Christmas decorations up...
A bowl of LPQ 'White Bean Soup' for dinner. The manager at LPQ was nice enough to tell me they're working on bringing back the Tofu Scramble, but I didn't buy it for a second...
A humongous slice of Vegan Treats 'Tiramisu Cake' for dessert. Major sugar rush...
Maybe tomorrow I will try to find some lights to help with the dark pics. Bye for now.

Friday, November 21st

Another day of just two meals. Bob's Red Mill Oatmeal....
and a Loving Hut Crispy Burger. Admittedly, the Crispy Burger meal was split into two meals and consumed hours apart...
Breakfast out tomorrow? Mr. SVegetarian seems to be implying that it could happen. Bye for now.
