Simple Joy

My daughter recently asked if we could eat more vegan.  I was really happy about this because I've converted to a mostly vegan (and partially pescatarian) way of eating.

We had a really nice day out yesterday, and stopped at a vegan restaurant for lunch called Simple Joy.

We ordered several dishes and shared, and they were really good!!

We had "shrimp" nests for an appetizer, which are vegan shrimp that had the texture of real shrimp, wrapped with noodles and deep fried.

We also had a "burger" that had a vegan patty in a toasted bun.  This was really good!!

And finally, we had "chicken" puttanesca pasta, but we dug into that so quickly that I didn't get a good picture.

I'm so happy she wants to eat vegan.  It's nice to be able to treat ourselves to something decadent, and still be meat free.
