Well, Hello Again!

It's been quite a while since I've been in touch with my blog. I'm back with the intention of sharing my experiences as a vegan. I live in Southern California and spend alot of time cooking vegan meals, researching vegan products, and eating in vegan restaurants. I am here to share my recipes as well as product reviews.

Last night I went to The Spot Restaurant in Hermosa Beach, CA. We started with chips and guac-delish. The chips are baked, so they are different than what I'm used to, but I love it. I asked for a side of their green salsa, which is made with jalapenos, tomatoes or tomatillos, depending on the season. I love the spice of that with the coolness of the guacamole. Our server kindly brought us the terriyaki sauce to taste when my husband inquired about it. I ended up ordering the "Dear Bubba," which is rice and beans, steamed collard greens, and savory sauce, served with a side of cornbread. My husband ordered a veggie burger.

We both really enjoyed our meals. The veggie burger was amazing-both the texture and the flavor impressed us. The savory sauce was so good that we asked for another side of it, and we both put extra on our food. For dessert-vegan cheesecake. It was good, but not great. We make one at Thanksgiving every year that definitely gives them a run for their money. Next time we go, I'll remember my camera and post pics!
