The title of this post is no exaggeration. I am not and have never been a “salad girl.” I think that they are a waste of stomach space to be quite honest. However, since my first visit to Designer Greens some months ago, I continue to find myself being pulled back in to their huge, awesomely garnished salads.
If you have been following my blog, you already know that I am a total hash girl when it comes to breakfast. This was even before I kicked meat from my diet. Now that I only do veggies and fish, I am always on the lookout for a great veggie hash for breakfast. My recent visit to First Watch gave me one more hash to add to my list of loves!
While my family ordered large dishes filled with beef and chicken, I was quite happy with my colorful plate of split peas, red lentils, collard greens, and cabbage.
Since kicking my meat habit, I’ve only visited The Cheesecake Factory maybe once or twice. On both occasions, I recall ordering a fish dish. On my most recent visit, with a few gift cards in hand, I decided to go completely vegetarian, and I lived to tell about it!
Food poisoning the day before gave me a great reason to treat myself to a mid-week dinner out. I chose TooJays for my meat-free meal, and I’m glad that I did.
For my last day off from work, I decided to treat myself to a little Paris flavor.
I had the amazing opportunity to visit Raphsodic Bakery a few weeks ago. While there, I shot a great video and tried a few vegan treats. Check out a few behind-the-scenes pictures from my day at the bakery. To see the video, click here.
Over the Christmas holiday, I visited Del Ray Cafe for a Sunday brunch to remember.
I had an amazing time visiting with my parents during the Christmas holiday in Alexandria, VA. While we always have great food, I must say that our visit to DC’s Woodlands Vegan Bistro was my food highlight from my visit.
A great Sunday brunch at Hash House was just not meant to be.
There’s nothing quite like spending a relaxing Friday evening at home eating out of a container filled with Chinese food and watching some great T.V.
What better way to celebrate Earth Day than to eat food that promotes a sustainable community!
My birthday lunch at Infusion Tea started off great and ended even better.
I love Thanksgiving just as much as any regular meat eater around. I just like it a little differently. While it is the perfect time to carve a turkey and dive into a plate of ham, for me, fish is the perfect dish to accompany my collard greens, macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.
Before leaving after a short visit, my mom invited my nephew and I out for a Friday evening dinner at Seasons 52.
A random Sunday afternoon with not much on the agenda is always a great time to sneak in a meal with family.
