So first things first, I tried the Greek Gyro Bowl at Native Foods. It is described as: Our thinly sliced Native Peppered Seitan sautéed with shallots on quinoa, steamed vegetables, and kale with lemon garlic sauce and hummus. Served with grilled flatbread.
Let me just say it was spectacular. The flatbread was soft and pliable, perfect for scooping. The hummus was a little more like dressing because it was liquidy. Just really a perfect bowl. I felt very energetic after eating and enjoyed that I had some yummy leftovers to boot!
Next, Becca and I got Bistro Boxes from Madeleine Bistro. Basically you get several meals delivered to you on Monday afternoon that you can reheat and enjoy at home. I am a HUGE fan of Madeleine's so Becca and I were very excited. It's now been a week and we've gone through nearly everything. We got a bit lazy in our picture taking so we only have the Mac & Cheese Casserole with roasted veggies.
I will admit the mac & cheese wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped it would be. Mostly it tasted like the bread crumbs on top, which I think were cornmeal since I had an allergic reaction later that night. However, that's not to say we didn't enjoy eating it. Out of our box, I think it's safe to say that the "Chickn" Pot Pie with Biscuits was our fave.
Finally, Becca and I headed to Arizona for Memorial Day weekend with my parents. I was a little worried about the lack of vegan options but managed to find True Food Kitchen. They were FANTASTIC!!! We loved them so much we ate there twice. Both my parents even enjoyed their meals and they can be finicky eaters. True Food has both omnivore and vegan meals. They also have an array of gluten free and soy free foods as well. I was really craving a tofu scramble so I got the Tofu Scramble Wrap (with a Prana which is the most delicious cocktail eva!) while Becca went with the Halibut sliders (not pictured for obvious reasons). The following day we split a roasted veggie pizza with no cheese. Yum. What's great about this restaurant is that the staff was very young and friendly. It was obvious that one of our waiters wasn't entirely sure what vegan meant, just that they offered vegan food. However, he was very quick to ask lots of questions, such as is it ok if there is some milk in the sauce (answer obvi no) and other things like that. He really believed that vegans could eat fish! So here are the pics:
