I wanted to share this cute protein reminder. Vegans are not protein deprived! Stop asking how we get our protein! I don't know where this image is originally from but I got it from here 

 This week we were in Massachusetts. We had to visit some of our favorite places while there. Flying Saucer Pizza in Salem, MA is awesome but even better, they have a new menu. We tried out the Silurian, evoo and chopped garlic, Teese cheddar, mac n' Teese casserole, kale, sundried tomato. Insanely good! 

 tofu fro-yo from Kushco Bistro with starberries and oreos mixed in. Elinor probably ate more than half. She was so excited it was pink!

 The best cold brew coffee from Gusto Cafe in Beverly, MA.

 Life Alive!! So excited we got to eat it twice. The emperor with tofu and no cheese. Always my favorite. Elinor loves the vegan kiddie quesadilla and a pink smoothie (eros alive)

The cambridge location has a great kids space on the lower level. I sat with her at the little table while Dave and his friend sat at a nearby table so we could all still talk. It was one of the most pleasant dining experience. She would sit and eat then play again. I even read her a few books while she finished up her food.

We went to Veggie Galaxy in Cambridge, MA too. We only ate treats but for some reason my boston cream pie disappeared before I got a picture. Elinor tried the strawberry ice cream. I managed to get a taste of it before she firmly told me that it is her ice cream. For having a baby in a diner super late at night, everyone was friendly and helpful! Thank you guys for making us feel comfortable with being bad parents and having our child up late at a show!

Do you have a favorite restaurant while traveling?

Half Birthday Party

We were very excited for Elinor's half birthday. My sister came in town for it. Really she comes once a month and decided to come with gifts. Ellie got 2 new awesome books and teddy ruxpin dvd! Thanks Auntie Courtney!

Even though she had got shots the day before she was in a pretty good mood. Just a couple of meltdowns when she just needed to eat and snuggle up with me then she would be back to normal.

After work Dave picked us up and we went to Veggie Galaxy for a birthday dinner. She was so happy looking around at everyone. She always thinks everyone is there to see her wherever we go. When we sat down though she got a little fussy so I fed her. I ordered tofu eggs and bananas for her. She ended up falling asleep after eating. She didn't wake up until we got home.

We had brought her leftovers home so when she woke up we lit a candle and sang happy half birthday to her before dinner. She thought it was hilarious. 

I have to wash her diaper we use to take her monthly picture so I hope we can get those done soon!

I like food

 Dinner at Veggie Galaxy. greek salad, glazed seitan loaf, banana split, boston cream pie (not pictured pb and chocolate frappe that our friend got but we tried and it was amazing! I will be getting a frappe next time) 

 vegan lasagna. We used to make it a lot last year but forgot about it. It is super easy to make. 

 peanut butter cookie dough balls. These are THE BEST vegan cookies I've ever made. Sadly these guys are already gone and I already want more. Maybe this weekend... 

 Last night we made pizza again! This time with smart deli pepperoni and onions

I have so many tabs open right now with things I want to make. I need to start printing these recipes out and adding them into my folder. I'm always afraid when I go back to a saved one that it will be gone. 

This Wednesday was my dads birthday. Even though I already told him I still want to tell him on here..

Happy Birthday and I hope you had a great relaxing birthday week! Love you.

Look how chunky I was!
