Hi all!
Today I am one happy birdie and here's why: Tonight, two of my very best girlfriends are coming to visit. There will be vodka spritzers, tear-inducing fits of laughter (there always are) and late-night whispering/giggling. Tomorrow, I get to enjoy dinner with my parents (it's been ages) and on Saturday, Paul and I leave with a friend for an epic cross-Canada road trip! We will be driving west for about 5 days until we end up in Vancouver where I hope to enjoy the scenery and scope-out some good vegan eats. Early next week, we're visiting family in Victoria, B.C. and then heading to Ottawa to hopefully find an apartment for the fall when I'll be starting law school (eek!). It's going to be a whirlwind but I cannot wait!
When we decided to do the road trip, I immediately wondered what the heck I would eat for 5 days in car, travelling through a lot of rural countryside, no less. So, I did what I always end up doing- I packed my own food! I made scrumptious "cheesy" Daiya bites, two types of quinoa salad, and an incredibly addictive trail mix. Hummus and veggies will also be along for the ride as will peanut butter (perhaps my biggest weakness), jam, whole grain bread, plenty of fresh fruit and, duh, potato chips!
I apologize in advance for the upcoming lack of posts and I hope you're all having a wonderful summer!

ROAD TRIP! Have fun. Looking forward to seeing your vegan eats in BC.
ReplyDeleteLove road trips! Have a safe trip and a wonderful time! If you have a chance, could you please post the recipes for these? The pictures look scrumptious, as always! :)
ReplyDeleteYou NEED to go to Gorilla Food in Vancouver. Best meals I've ever had. I love the Mix-up salad with the ginger-avocado dressing, and the Strawberry Zing smoothie is amazing if, like me, you love ginger and strawberries. All their desserts are amazing, too.
ReplyDeletePanz Veggie is good too. They've got vegan Chinese food, and it's soo good. I brought some of my non-veg friends there and they loved it.
Your photos are stunning! Are you self taught??
ReplyDeleteWow thanks! My boyfriend is definitely way more talented than I am (he actually has a new photography blog), but we are both self-taught :)
ReplyDeleteAmaaaazing- that is super helpful and it all sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I should post the recipes. I will try to do so very soon, those Daiya bites were insanely good!
ReplyDeleteLooks so good! Packing meals for Road Trips is always fun. Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteTrail mix is deadly. I spy mini dark chocolate chips in yours! Instant approval on my part. The Daiya bites look great too...I want to know what else is in them! You're a pro at packing road trip food. That's definitely the key to a good trip if you have any diet limitations. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteIn vancouver you should hit up feastro! look it up, they're amazinggg (well worth that triple "g"). And Ottawa welcomes you!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks delicious -- gourmet road trip food indeed! Good luck with the trip and the apartment hunting.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks very delicious! I will have to try and cook it. Love the photography to. xx

Hi, I just wanted to leave you a quick note to say your blog rocks. I just recently discovered it, and the dishes you post contain so many of my favorite foods! I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but I eat mostly meatless dishes, so I'm always looking for creative ways to use veggies, beans, and grains like quinoa. I've already bookmarked several recipes to try in the next couple weeks.
