Three days into veganism and so far so good. I'm enjoying the food and finding some delicious new recipes to try. Tonight's menu featured Mushroom, Leek, and Green Pea Risotto, a Kind Diet recipe. It was delicious! Super creamy and features some of my favorite veggies.
I'm also keeping my sweet tooth satisfied. Last night after a yummy potluck with delicious chick pea curry, Grant and I vistited Sticky Fingers Bakery, the only all-vegan bakery in Washington, DC. Sticky Fingers recently won Cupcake Wars on the Food Network though in addition to cupcakes they feature a full menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Their front case showcases scrumptious looking cinnamon buns, brownies, cupcake varieties and more.
I helped myself to the "George Carmelin" cupcake, one of the winning flavors on the recently aired show. Just imagine - chocolate cinnamon cake with a vanilla bean bourbon buttercream, bourbon caramel sauce, and candied pecans. It was moist, dense, and well worth the indulgence. The other winning varieties sound and look delightful as well - I'll leave those for another visit.
Enjoying my new diet for now. Post coming soon about my adventures with the umboshi plum...
