Adventure Begins in the Kitchen

Dinner: Broiled Tofu, Spring Rolls & Spinach with Ponzu
I went through a decently long phase where I ate ungodly amounts of spinach. Lunch, dinner, post-lunch snacks, post-dinner snacks, all centered around leafy green. Excessive? Surely. But better spinach than Cheetos, right?
I first fell in love with Hail Merry snacks last summer on the last stop of my two week, whirlwind workation (work mixed with vacation?) in Dallas. The tarts were yumtastic, so I wasn’t surprised when I heard their blonde macaroons were up for a VegTimes Foodie Award.
Their promotions department sent me a kind note a few weeks ago thanking me for my continuous support and informing me of the above mentioned nomination. I promptly voted, but also wanted to do something more to help this used-to-be-local-for-me Dallas product gain exposure. Aha, a contest! And a really good contest at that!

The oatmeal I had for breakfast faded mid flight and I was starving as I got off the plane. So the second I unloaded my gear into the car, Steph and I headed to EAT.
We went to a little Mexican place in River West called Cafe Corazon. The temp was in the brisk 60s, it was the coolest weather I had experienced and the warmest weather Steph had experienced this season. We B-lined it to outdoor picnic area.
Steph had the carnitas and asidas taco plate and I had the vegan platter. We cleared our plates and polished off our Dos Equis.
The bill arrived with two dum dums, which we gracefully chomped before leaving the table. First Milwaukee meal = win! Then it was off to Lakeside Brewery for the Environmental Brew Tour!
Breakfast: Raspberry Soy Yogurt with Ground Flax and Rocky Road Coma
Lunch: Pizza Do-Over with Daiya
Dinner: Quinoa with Artichokes, Olives, Spinach & Pumpkin Seeds
I am… Wondering how long it’s going to take me to get used to Mr. Macro. Sun kissed nature is much more photogenic than fluorescent lit food. The second I step indoors I have to resist the urge to slap on my stock lens.
Patience Kristin, patience!
