Here we go again my friends! But before I share all the food I’ve been feasting on lately, I have to tell you… I decided on Sunday to re-watch all of GoT before the final season starts. Insane right? I may not have time to cook or eat (or blog!) if I’m going to make it all the way through 7 seasons before April 14th… but I’m sure going to try!
Okay, food! First up is the ahhhmazing Sesame Tofu with Steamed Rice + Veggies from Spicy Basil (on Broadway)! It’s the perfect blend of sweet n’ spicy. My BFF Eric and I had lunch there on a recent snowy day, so we also shared a big ol’ pot of steamy green tea. He had the Peanut Tofu, which you can see in the background.
I’ve also been back to Native Foods TWICE in the past month! I finally downloaded their app and had a bunch of credit to use up… can’t pass up deliciously discounted vegan food, amitrite!? Both visits were also on my Flex Fridays, so I went gloriously solo, with a book, and just relaxed with my food. Really, one of my favorite things to do!
On my first trip I had their February special burger, The Big Kahuna Burger! It was their seitan burger topped with bbq sauce, a thick slice of sweet pineapple, and onions rings. I’m bummed it’s not on their regular menu because I would definitely order it again.
On my second trip I went with my 100% fave, the Nachos. Corn tortilla chips, black beans and chipotle sauce, topped with cashew cheese, salsa fresca, roasted corn, green onions, cilantro and pickled jalapenos, PLUS guacamole and seitan taco meat (which cost extra but are SO worth it).
(As a side note, I was reading Squeezed: Why Our Families Can’t Afford America and it was really good! Also- let’s be friends on Goodreads!)
This was from lunch with my little brother last month, at Motomaki on the 16th St Mall- A Build Your Own Bowl (which I highly recommend over the sushi burrito- it’s just easier to eat) with tofu, edamame, tempura asparagus, avocado, extra tempura (which looks like rice krispies!), and a sweet teriyaki sauce, all over brown rice. PERFECTION.
This one is OLD but I just found it and really wanted to share. This is actually from Christmas Eve (stop judging me), my mom and brother and I went to an early dinner at Imperial Chinese. Mom and I shared an order of the Veggie Noodles and Vegetarian Sesame Chicken (which is actually vegan).
And last but not least, I was meeting some friends at Park & Co but got there early, so I treated myself to a cocktail and appetizer… This was the Crispy Brussels Sprouts with candied pecans, caramelized onions, and sherry vinegar and a Manhattan!
Ok that’s it for this week! And don’t forget, if you’re in the Denver area and looking for great restaurant ideas you should check out my Mile High Vegan Eats page!
