VegFest

My fun in the sun continued today at the Central Florida VegFest!

The Central Florida VegFest was a celebration of all things Vegan, Organic, and Animal Friendly.

There were dozens of booths offering vegan food, free samples, and information on local causes in the Orlando area.

I was craving a vegan cookie or brownie, but this booth caught my attention.

Especially when I discovered they had a Pumpkin Spice flavor.

The vegan nitrogen ice cream was interesting and reminded me more of creamy italian ice than ice cream. I are about half before I tossed the bowl. It wasn’t as rich and flavorful as I was hoping.

I also had a couple bites of a Strawberry Brownie that somehow missed the camera.

Maddie and I explored for a good hour, before heading home and chilling out in front of the tv for a couple of hours.

For dinner I got a little creative.

Originally, I had planned on having a baked sweet potato topped with chickpeas & marinara sauce, but went with a twist on a twice baked potato instead.

I baked a sweet potato in the over at 375 for 45 minutes, then scooped the insides out once it cooled.

The insides were mushed in a bowl with marinara sauce and chickpeas.

And finally topped with cheese and baked for another 10 minutes in the oven.

The results were amazing!

This meal just gave me a whole slew of ideas on different combinations I can creat with the twice baked potato concept. 😉

On the side I had some frozen brussel sprouts that were heated up in the microwave.

A little chocolate cured my after dinner sweet tooth.

Tomorrow morning I had a 15 miler planned with my sister. I love how my miles are slowly creeping, the 15 miles are going to rock! 😉

In the mean time please remember to VOTE to help me stay in the Top 20

And VOTE for these lovely ladies to help bring them to the Top 20. 😉
