Dinner at Big Bowl

Obviously, this is my very first post! I have decided to document my experiences in eating vegan at restaurants, and what I cook at home. Both my husband and I became vegan about 9 months ago and it has been a wonderful adventure! We have had mostly positive experiences at the restaurants that we have gone to. We both love to cook, so we make lots of yummy food at home as well.

Tonight Peter and I had dinner at Big Bowl, which is an Asian chain restaurant that appears in a lot of malls. We ended up there for Peter's Grandmother's birthday dinner. Usually we avoid chain restaurants because usually the options are pretty much packed with meat. We showed up prepared for the worst but we were pleasantly surprised. Not only did they have a separate vegetarian menu, but the manager even came out and talked to us to reassure us of what was vegan. Our dinners were delicious. I had Kung Pao Tofu and spinach, and Peter had the Thai Green Curry. Mine had just the right amount of spice and the tofu was cooked very well. Not mushy at all. Peter loved his green curry however, he did note that it was very spicy. Good thing he loves spicy food!

All in all, this was a fantastic dinner. It is one that I would have again. If you are vegan and you are dining with non vegans, this is a great choice.

Later this week, Peter and I will be going on vacation to Disney World. When I return, I can't wait to write about and post pictures of the meals that we have there. We have already talked to some of the chefs about our options, and it sounds like it is going to be great! Until then, I will write about some of the meals I make at home this week.
