Before going nutritarian, I was a sucker for nachos and all the cheesey gooey goodness. So here’s my version of no cheese nachos!
Ingredients:
Rice/bean chips
Diced tomato
Vegetarian chili
Cubed avocado
Chopped cilantro
Salsa
Just as good as the real deal!
Warm weather + outdoor seating + healthy food = great dinner out. Chipotle chicken wrap, Asian salad with tofu, sweet potato fries and spiced hummus with pita and chips. Mmmmm… thank you! Great spot for casual dates, business meetings, and large family parties. Always something for everyone in the crowd.
Thailand Restaurant in Draper.
Veggie spicy pad ped, Tom ka, veggie egg rolls? Yes, please! Thai House in Draper was sold and renamed to Thailand Restaurant. Same great location, food is pretty good too. My only gripe was not enough wait staff for busy lunch, otherwise great location for business lunch.
Friends and family day at newest sandwich shop in town. Opens to public on Monday. I went with vegan lettuce wrap with hummus and lots of extra veggies. Fantastic! Great options for everyone in the family.
Dinner out with new investor friends. Fresh, crisp veggies, flavorful sauces, decent portion sizes. Great variety of veggie, vegan and meat dishes. We enjoyed pineapple curry, pad siew, egg rolls, potstickers, basil tofu stir fry. Quick, nice service. Great spot for business meal, family outings and date nights.
Quick dinner out to Tin Roof Grill in Sandy UT. Peanut Noodle dish made vegan with no chicken and add extra veggies. Pork & veggie pot stickers with chicken lettuce wrap are great for the meat lover. Eclectic menu sporting #pasta dishes to tapas to Asian fare. I’ve enjoyed their low-key environment good for business meals to date nights.
Working late… time for a little vegan treat – Macaroons. Thanks Raw Melissa for making yummy goodies!
Easy to make, a vegan bean casserole is delicious and any meat lover I’ve served this to, is impressed! I make for left overs and freeze in individual serving sizes.
Ingredients:
6 cups bell pepper, roasted 15 min 350 degrees
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 clove garlic, diced
2 15 oz cans corn, drained and rinsed
2 15 oz cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 28 oz can tomato sauce
1 10 oz can Rotel
1 tablespoon no-salt seasoning
2 teaspoon cumin
1 package corn tortillas
Directions:
Using a high powered blender, mix roasted peppers, tom sauce and Rotel until smooth. Set aside. (You’ll probably have extra, I use for other sauces or base for hominy soup.)
Water sauté onion and garlic for 5 min.
Add corn, beans, half tomato sauce mixture, spices and heat through about 15 minutes.
(If you have extra, use in hominy soup.)
Using 9×13 lasagna dish, pour about 1.5 cup tom sauce on bottom and spread out.
Then layer bean mixture and tortillas until pan is full. Drizzle more tom sauce on top.
Bake 30 min at 350.
Serve with fresh guacamole, salsa, lime wedges, chopped cilantro. Enjoy!!
Stopping for dinner in Elko, NV on a Sunday night yields few opportunities that aren’t fast food or a smokey casino. Luckily this Chinese joint was open. Veggie egg rolls, vegetable Mu Shu, and Seafood Tofu soup… not bad. Service was quick and friendly. Back on the road!
Always great to connect with friends. When I can share a new restaurant with them is even better. Restaurant review this time: funny servers, lentil with veggies yummy but serving too small, same goes for side of rice. Abundant chips & salsa… with the special hot sauce is spicy-hot-delight! Dessert donuts were ok, but not worth the sugar rush. veggie taco not nearly as good as the pear beet taco last time. Dinner time is much louder than lunch, less conducive to conversation. All-in-all still a great spot for vegan yumminess! I’ll be back again… probably just for lunch.
