Day 13 Saturday

No workout today, going to Philly for the weekend for 10 year anniv; without the daughter. Lots of food planned.

Food:
Breakfast was banana, apple, walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, coconut, craisins and almond milk.

Lunch was at a vegan Chinese place named Su Xing House. Lots of lunch specials. We each got the Lotus Root and Peanut soup to start and K ordered her favorite Cole Sesame Noodles with I only had a few bites of.

Main lunch was Braised Kale with baked tofu, fruit salad and brown rice (only ate a few bites of the ride)

Dinner was at a new place named VEDGE, a "fine dining" all vegan fancy schmancy joint. Everything we got we shared, portions were small overall and over priced for what it was. Glad we went but we won't be back. Pictures are all pretty dark. For starters we had a mixed platter of olives, pickles, lupini beans, rye points.

Next was crispy cauliflower with kimchee mayo and golden beets/smoked tofu/avocado/capers thing:

Then this weird ass soup that K and I had no idea was a soup even though it said bisque on the menu there was just too many words and we both missed it. It was called Beauregard Sweet Potato and Black Kale BISQUE, cilantro and peanut crumble. It was OK but weird and I would have never ordered it had I known.

Then Grilled tofu, miso dashi and edamame puree and an order of Hearts of Palm Garbonzo crepe with curried lentils.

Since it was a celebration we also ordered dessert. Don't recall the full name but it was a vegan chocolate salted mousse and biscotti.  And holy shit it was good.

Again....looks like a lot more food than it was. We shared every plate. Ended up doing some walking and picking up dessert at Govinda's to take back to the room. I got a piece of vegan chocolate cake, K got a vegan brownie cheese cake.

Splurged....and not really all part of the 30 day diet plan, but it's all good and honest a lot better than I thought it would have been given the fact of all the "bad" food options I could have had. And I knew going in that this weekend will not be the best eating wise but to keep it in check....and cake, was something I could have passed on but so good.
