Day 26- Go vegan - food trucks

People  ask me  with  frequency  the  same question:  Where do you eat, like what  restaurants  do you go to?  And it is true  unless you live in a place  like Montreal, Canada  or  some other vegan/ vegetarian  wonderland, the options  of eating  out are slim if you want to be a purist and eat in a vegan only establishment.  Vegguide.org and Happycow.net  offer listings of vegetarian and vegan restaurants.   I also  eat at Whole Foods. Food  trucks  are now offering vegans another option.  Trucks travel  (you know that) so that  is great!  They practically  come to you.

I ate from  Mushaboom  food truck.  They are not organic  unfortunately.  I tried the
Chickpea Parmigiana Burger

Chickpea patty with marinara and Daiya mozzarella

It was quite tasty and  from  my days  of eating Chicken Parmigiana, my  taste buds said, "This tastes like Chicken Parmigiana."  I need to add  I am not sure how accurate by taste bud memory is, so try it for yourself.

Mushaboom is a more of what I think of as a junk food vegan truck.  They serve fries and soda too.

If you are trying to go vegan,  try finding and eating at a vegan  food truck to try the recipes  and possibilities.

Broward and Dade County Based Food Truck.

Favorite JUNK Food- is actually super healthy

 Chili con Kale

Walnut Pate with Chipotle

My favorite JUNK food isn't junk food at all  but it tastes so good  it seems like it should not be good for you.  My new favorite place to eat is Choices Vegan Cafe.  I went there in November and re-visited last week and decided, "Yes, this is my new favorite place."  I wasn't one for spicy food, but I love the way the food is spiced here  and when I say spicy  I don't mean "hot".  The baked sweet potatoes still satisfy the old french fries cravings..  I think eventually I will stop ordering them, once I wean myself off.  The menu has changes and there are so many more options that I can have now.

Vegetarian

Most people who know me, know that I am a selective eater. Yesterday we drove around our city and took pictures of the restaurants that have vegetarian fare. We ate at one Shing Wang, I will not eat there again..food doesn't feel healthy... Our search had begun to find a nice place to eat besides home.
