DC VegFest 2016

As a local resident in Northern Virginia, I’m always excited to visit the annual DC VegFest at the Yards Park in Washington, DC, located next to the Stadium where the local baseball team, the Nationals (the Nats), play. This event is organized by Compassion Over Killing and brings dozens of vendors and hundreds of vegans, vegetarians, or anyone interested in learning more about animal friendly and healthy foods. Best of all is that it's a free event with free samples of food and drinks. Some of my favorite vendors, and to be honest, every other vegan in DC as well, are Vegan Treats, Craft Kombucha, and others.

VLife

A few months ago while visiting New York, I discovered VLife, a Vegan restaurant in the Chelsea area of Manhattan, New York. I had an incredible experience with the food being flavorful and simply put, an easy vegan bite while in Manhattan. As far as drinks, we settled for two Thai bubble teas, which were delicious! Regarding the main entrees, we had the Amazing Avocado, a gluten and soy free wrap; and the Bodacious Burger, which came with a soy patty, tapioca cheese and vegetables. We were also recommended by their staff to try the V-Cheddar Poppers, which were completely unhealthy, but super delicious! Definitely a must try in this restaurant.

Imagine Vegan Café

I decided to go have a bite or two at Imagine Vegan Café while visiting Memphis, Tennessee. I liked this restaurant so much that I went twice, the second time to satisfy my cravings for southern-comfort food, some good ‘ole biscuits and gravy. In essence, everything in the menu is vegan despite some of their non-vegan names or descriptions. This is a restaurant that must be visited several times to be able to enjoy the large amount of food items in the menu. So when I go back to Memphis, I will go back to Imagine Vegan Café and sample more vegan food and so should you! If you are in the mood to enjoy a vegan atmosphere and delicious food with a hint of Memphis, then make sure to visit Imagine Vegan Café.

The Crazy Noodle

During my recent trip to Memphis, Tennessee, I stopped by The Crazy Noodle, a Korean-style noodle shop located in Midtown Memphis. We had the Veggie Jeon (be sure to ask for it without eggs), and then for the main course, we had the Vegetable Ramen and the Miso Ramen. Truly delicious! All in all, this was a fantastic place to eat, chat, and enjoy some good Memphis-style ramen.

Loving Hut - Cincinnati

I recently drove by Cincinnati and decided to do a simple search looking for vegan eateries in or around Cincinnati, Ohio. To my surprise, one my search options was a Loving Hut, one of the worldwide chains of vegan restaurants. After perusing the menu, we ordered the grilled Spring Rolls, grilled dumplings, the Vegan Macaroni & Cheez, Vegan Sloppy Joe, the Japanese-style Udon noodles and the gluten-free house salad. By far, my favorite item was the Vegan Macaroni & Cheez, which was simply delicious! We almost worried it was the real thing, but then we came back to our senses and realized we were at a Loving Hut and thus vegan food.

Vegan at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport

I recently stopped in Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport as I was catching my next Delta flight to Washington, DC. I should point out this was dinnertime and with an already delayed flight, I was dreading my next meal. I went to a nearby bakery looking for bananas or something that I could munch on for dinner. I was quickly in disbelief as I discovered this unimposing bakery with several clearly marked vegan items in their menu.

Vegan at a local Farmer’s Market

Earlier this morning I visited our local farmer’s market, the Wellness Connection Farmer’s Market, which is located at the Gum’s Spring Library parking lot. Since this a vegan blog, I went on a mission looking for vegan friendly products. As this is a small farmer’s market, I managed to find four vendors offering vegan friendly products.

Vegan Hors d’oeuvre with Polenta and Tostones

This is a perfect vegan hors d’oeuvre for when you have guests. The recipe uses fried plantains (tostones), tofu, avocado, black beans and polenta. The recipe should take about 20 minutes to prepare and about 10 minutes to cook. The recipe was inspired from a recipe submitted by angloesque via allrecipes.

Wine pairing: If you plan to pair this recipe with wine, please omit the garlic from this hors d’oeuvre, as it will take away from the wine experience. I recommend a white wine, such as a dry Riesling, a white Zinfandel, a Gewurztraminer or a Virginia Viognier. Like I said, stay away from the garlic on this one!
