Honeymoon in Duluth June 8, 2008

Filed under: Field Trip — Kala @ 1:20 pm

 

Hey, Shane and I got married last week!  There will be lots of pictures of wedding food later when I get them from the various people who were taking pictures that day.  But for now I thought I’d share some of the honeymoon food from our trip to Duluth.

First up, Burrito Union.  Super awesome and very vegan friendly, Burrito Union is a restaurant that specializes in - guess what???? - burritos, very good.  We went with the build your own burrito option and had ours stuffed with a veggie medley, Spanish rice, black beans, guacamole, jalapenos, salsa, and olives.  We also had a side of their “hot” salsa, very yummy but not hot.  Ok, it’s Minnesota hot. 

 

 

I really wish they had a Burrito Union in the twin cities, we will defiantly be back the next time we’re in Duluth. 

We also had a lovely meal at Pizza Luce but I was so hungry that night that I didn’t take any good food pics.  So you’ll have to settle for me drinking water, mmmmmm water. 

   

 

 

On our way out of town, we stopped at the Whole Foods Co-op (not to be confused with Whole Foods market) for breakfast.  We got a banana muffin that was pretty good if not a wee bit dry and we loaded up on the salad bar:

 

 

There was a tofu dish, some tasty beans and onions, garbanzo beans, olives, peppers, and sweet potato fries.  It was really good all mixed up in the box. 

More to come later!

Living Green Expo May 8, 2008

Filed under: Field Trip — Kala @ 12:58 pm

This last weekend, the Shane and I took the free bus trip out to the Living Green Expo at the fairgrounds.  It turned out to be a lot of fun and there was even vegan food to be had!  Here’s me at the hemp milk booth:

 

 

It was the first time I’d had hemp milk and it was pretty good.  I still favor soy but I think I liked it better than rice milk.  When lunch time rolled around, we opted for vegan pizza by the slice (who wouldn’t?)  It was from Galactic Pizza and it was awesome.

 

 

 

 

And, of course, we laughed at the people who were talking about how much they care about the environment while they were standing in this line:
