I will admit I'm a wannabe health nut. We eat out too much (hence the wannabe) but when I do prepare food at home I try to stay in the plant based/organic/no sugar/grain free realm. I used to be a strict vegan (omg you cooked this is butter I need to send it back, read:annoying to dine with) & raised my girls vegetarian for the first 10 years of their lives. I moved to the Northeast, Southeast & now Dallas and have over the years found it harder to be vegan crazy & yet easier to find grass fed local meat & farm fresh eggs etc. that said, when I cook at home I stick to vegan/vegetarian dishes mostly & my meat loving husband tolerates this. But I have been known to devour a brisket taco or two... I don't know what the deal is with brisket tacos in Dallas but I've never had them until I moved here & I got addicted!
I digress.
I've been wanting to hop back on the vegan train as a regular passenger for awhile. I noticed this place when it was not yet open in the shopping center (we had stopped by the hardware store to see if they really had baby chickens & they do!). So I saw the storefront, I've read about this new business & I've told myself to try them out (instead of eating out) more than once....but never did. Until the other day when I saw one of those G coupon deals, so I said "yep sign me up I'm trying it!" I went to turn my 5 large entrée voucher in today & ended up with a little of everything: salad, eggless egg salad sandwich filling, shepherds pie, enchiladas, soup & a tofu dish (we love tofu). I returned home & ate for lunch the side salad (lettuce was so fresh & clean and perfectly dry - I hate soggy lettuce & it had a tangy lemon tahini dressing). It was good. Heated up the shepards pie & OMG I would have eaten a second serving if I had more to eat. I've made vegan Shepards pie before but it was never this delish! I also had to crack into the eggless egg salad for a taste - I loved it, I'm not sure my girls will because they have a serious hatred for celery but I could eat the entire tub. I don't know about the rest of my meals, but I'm pretty sure they are going to be solid choices as well. Do yourself a favor this new year, try a healthy take home meal, you will not be sorry! If nothing else try it because it's important to support nice local people in their small business endeavors! Final note: the place is so spotless clean, I'm sure it's cleaner than my kitchen at home & it has a nice modern vibe.
