I am so excited to start making things from it!

So I have spent the morning doing some research on restaurants- specifically chain ones. I was just inspecting Uno’s and i found that their Balsamic dressing isn’t vegan:

BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

INGREDIENTS: soy oil, balsamic vinegar, water, salt, sugar, xantham gum, spice, garlic, fish oil, caramel, pg alginate, calcium disodium, paprika.

kinda scary to think that balsamic vinaigrette would have fish in it!

CPK has a vegetarian menu and it detials the vegan options:

also BE AWARE Panda Express is NOT vegetarian they use a chicken base!

Legal Seafoods:

Vegetarian Box (vegan friendly) 17.95
Asian flavored stir-fried vegetables, Thai red coconut curry sauce, cashews, tofu and brown rice

Hannah over at BitterSweet has created the the vegan’s hundred…a play on the omnivore’s hundred that’s been circulating foodie blogs lately. Here’s how it works:

1) Copy this list into your own blog, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Post a comment here once you’ve finished and link your post back to this one.
5) Pass it on!

I have been horrible about starting back at my blogging, however after our honeymoon things will hopefully settle down and Neil and I can really get into making consistent entries. So until September things will be crazy and entries lacking!
