all three of us got to go to Good Eatz Cafe… FINALLY! 

It’s usually just me (Tanya) and Aslynn who go together.

Anyways, I got the Vegan Shepard’s Pie. It was alright but there was like something in it that was like sour or something, I ate it all because it was still pretty delicious. It came with a salad and I had vegan 1000 island dressing, which is never disappointing :)

Serenah got the Vegan Grilled Ruben with tofu. I had a bite and I think I prefer it made with tempeh. It was extremely delicious regardless. 

Aslynn ordered a Cajun style Fish Burrito (she’s not vegan anymore btw, her vegan-ism lasted like 4 days)  She said it was REEEAAALLLLYYY good (direct quote)

we all had a Chai Cupcakes and they were divine!!! we didn’t get a pic because we were too excited. 

On that note, I hope everyone has a good night! 

more vegan-ness will be posted tomorrow :D

Vegan Orange “Chicken” with Broccoli and White Rice  I used Gardein Mandarin Orange Crispy Chik’n. I got mine at Whole Foods Market I ate vegan orange chicken twice before at restaurants, the Gardein version wasn’t as good but I it did come from the freezer so I wan’t actually expecting restaurant quality.  It was very delicious regardless :) next time, i’d probably add in some sliced onions, snow peas, and baby corn for more flavors -Tanya
