A weekend of incredible vegetarian options! - part 1

Hello friends!

Thanks for all your great support recently in my vegetarian endeavors. I'm so excited to learn so much more -- and I feel I've already learned lots! Keep passing on the wisdom, recipes and recommendations.

The past week was full of some really interesting discoveries. First off, did you know Burger King serves veggie burgers? I certainly didn't! Now, I didn't go eat there (it falls in the same category as to why I don't really eat fast food in general -- uncertainty as to where the food comes from, mass quantities made quickly, etc.) -- but I'm super proud that vegetarians are respected here!

Next excitement for the week focused on the "Happy Salad" -- a name created by Angie, which I wholeheartedly support. I've never been so happy, full, excited and energized eating a salad! The recipe includes very simple ingredients: avocado, chickpeas and spinach, and was SUPER easy to make! Go salads!

On Friday, Jeff (a fellow vegetarian, who was recently inspired by Alex's comments to possibly cut out fish entirely?! Go Alex! and yes -- I'm doing my research too, expect a blog in the future!) and I went out to eat at Great Sage, a vegan restaurant in Columbia. The servers were great, #WorldWaterDay invited some fun conversations, and the food was pretty great. Jeff got a "crab-less" crabcake, and I had a quinoa burger! Yum! We also had spinach and artichoke drip, 

I'll leave you with that food for thought (haha, no pun intended!) right now -- expect an update on the other delicious creations very soon!
