Philly vegfest edition!

Last Sunday was the first Philly Vegfest! We loved Boston's vegfest and went every year. I was so excited for this. We got to try some new food, found out about awesome restaurants, and saw some friends. Of course it was super packed and we didn't get to try everything we wanted. I hope it happens next year! This city is full of little vegan and vegetarian spots that weren't even there.

Soom makes chocolate sesame butter! So good! Matt & Nat vegan handbags. I love that peach one

There was a huge line for the vegan scrapple so we didn't get to try any. Sweet Freedom was handing out samples of cookies. I love that shop! NOt only vegan but also gluten free, soy free, peanut free, kosher, and more. They just opened a new shop in Bryn Mawr. I haven't been in yet but I drove by and it looks a lot bigger than the philly store.

This was about the time it was getting so packed, we couldn't move. Elinor and I found a place to wait while Dave picked up some more snacks.

 yummy fresh juice but I forget the name! Whole Foods was there and handing out pretty big servings of Beyond Meat Jamaican jerk chicken with mango salsa and coleslaw.

 Italian seitan 'cheesesteak' handpie with heirloom marinara and a Nutella-fluffernutter handpie with homemade vegan hazelnut spread from Miss Rachel's Pantry. Elinor was a huge fan.

 We had a great time! I'm so excited for all the coupons we picked up. It's not often you find a ton of coupons for the vegan products we buy.

I haven't done one of these in awhile. I love to find out about new places and new recipes. We aren't the best at writing down our own recipes but we are really good at eating.

Coming home from Long Island a few weeks ago we stopped in Brooklyn at Champs. We have never been there for some reason. It was a wait to get in on memorial day morning but totally worth it! Cold brew coffee, "chicken" and waffles, tofu omelettes and even cheese sticks!! We didn't get any treats because we went to get donuts after at DunWell Donuts. I some how didn't get a picture of them because we inhaled them so fast.

Last Friday was National Donut day! Good thing Whole Foods in Plymouth Meeting had us covered! We had glazed, caramel cream w chocolate n pretzels, vanilla filled, and berries n cream. They make donuts every weekend and we have been making a trip every friday. We need to probably chill out on that a little. 

The roof of Plymouth Meeting Whole foods is a taco truck. The vegan tacos taste different than last year but for the better. Last time they were too spicy and not much to them. Now they are full of potatoes, seitan, peppers and onions with vegan cheese on top. So good!!

A lot of our veggies were so close to going bad. We threw it all on the grill and made a grilled salad with homemade ranch dressing. We baked the potato on the grill too and threw some Daiya cheese on top.

Overnight oats. I could eat this all day. My friend sent me an awesome site The Oatmeal Artist. You guys, the banana cream pie oats!! 

Lettuce Wraps from The Vegan Stoner. We have been in a rush to make dinner lately. This recipes are super fast and we usually have all the ingredients laying around.

This weekend is Philly's first vegfest. We loved the one in Boston and went every year. There were always tons of samples, coupons and demos. Come out this Saturday from 11-4 at The Shambles in Headhouse Sq (2nd and Pine). We will be there!
