Orlando Vacation: Stuff I Ate!

Hey everyone! I hope that all is well! I'm back from Florida and have two awesome posts planned for you :) Today I'll be sharing some of the delicious meals that I ate on my trip and on Friday I'll be sharing some of the stuff that we did.

I tried to photograph and much as I could so you could get a good idea of some of the deliciousness that I ate. Here it is!

One of the first things I consumed when I got there was this Basic Bitch Starbucks 😂 I got a tall soy hazelnut latte and it was delicious.

For dinner Thursday night we went to Loving Hut and it was AMAZING! We were starving, I actually had only had the Starbucks and a banana that day and we got to Loving Hut at about 5:15. We both got the same thing and started off with this seriously delicious wonton soup. This is the only way I'll eat cilantro because it doesn't taste soapy in this for some reason. Anyway, it is delicious and was a perfect way to warm up a little and satisfy that hunger while waiting for my dinner.

For dinner I got my usual which is the Combo #1. It is so freaking good! They changed up the rice a little since the last time I was there but it was still delicious. This meal was exactly what I wanted and I love getting it every time I'm in Florida.

I was really craving some fruit so I got this little fruit cup from Wawa (NY get your shit together and get some Wawas!! They are awesome!). It had mango, pineapple, apples and grapes.

I usually cook a meal when I visit so this time I made this yummy pasta dish. It is whole wheat pasta with some asparagus and tomatoes roasted in garlic and olive oil and some spinach. It was in garlic and olive oil and was really good.

This is my plate. For serving reference I used a salad plate for my meal so I had some pasta with some vegan cheesy garlic toast that I made to go along with it.

On Saturday we met up with some other friends for an awesome brunch at Ethos Vegan Kitchen! This is another must when I go down there because Ethos makes the most delicious vegan brunch. Just like with Loving Hut I have my favorite there that I don't stray from and that is the Breakfast Burrito. 

I took a pic once I busted into it. It had tofu scramble, potatoes and vegan sausage in it and it is smothered in an amazing white gravy. It's so freaking good.

This was a random meal I threw together. I found the Daiya burritos in my trip to Sprouts (more on that on Friday!) so I had that with some chips and guar and some of the leftover fruit from my snack. It was really good.

Finally for something sweet (there was also a reason we picked this particular thing) we got the Daiya Chocolate Cheezecake and you guys. This is GOOD. Like I was completely shocked by how good and authentic it tasted. I am so glad that we tried it because I know it'll be a great dessert option for a holiday if I need something quick.

So there you have it, lots of delicious meals enjoyed in Orlando! I'm really excited to share all of the fun things that we did in Friday's post! I hope you all have a great week and I'll see you on Friday!

Orlando Trip Recap!

Hey everyone! As promised, I'm back with a recap of my trip to Orlando! This one will probably be a bit longer because I have A LOT of pictures but I figured that there is nothing wrong with that :) I have a combination of meals I cooked, meals we had in restaurants and some pictures from our activities. Hope you like them!

My friend had to work from home on Thursday so we just hung out for the day in the house. This was before we had gotten groceries so for lunch I made a bagel with peanut butter and banana and it was delicious.

After we went shopping I made my Vegan Chick'n Ranch Pasta Salad for dinner. This one was a twist on my Chick'n Caesar Pasta Salad since we could only find Just Ranch. I added some cherry tomatoes and it was so good. We also found this amazing fresh roasted garlic bread that had super soft and delicious chunks of roasted garlic dotting it. Seriously delicious.

The following day was my birthday and we went to Magic Kingdom! The very first thing I did was get my birthday button and my Minnie Ears :)

Here is Walt and Mickey hanging out in front of the castle.

And of course the castle.

I had an amazing time! It was crowded and VERY hot (90 degrees and blazing sun) but we still had a really fun time, rode a few rides and checked out the shops. If I could make any changes I would have made sure to be more hydrated and I didn't eat anything all day which was stupid and terrible. Still a wonderful time!

That night we were STARVING so we had my birthday dinner at Loving Hut! We started with this amazing wonton soup. The broth is really light and delicious and the wontons are yummy too.

For my main I had the combo number 1, my tried and true favorite. The soup was filling so I didn't get through the whole thing but it was amazing.

The vegan bakery that we had gone to in previous years closed down so the options were limited for vegan birthday dessert. I found this Rice Dream Mocha Ice Cream Pie and it was really yummy!

The following morning we went to Ethos Vegan Kitchen for brunch and I got my absolute favorite breakfast burrito. This beauty is stuffed with faux sausage, potatoes and tofu scramble and smothered in delicious gravy. Seriously one of my favorite meals ever.

Here it is from the inside. Seriously, how good does this look?!

The next morning we went to the farmers market at Lake Eola. Their market is amazing and huge and I love going there when I can. I picked up a beautiful necklace which I'll show you in another post. After the market we walked around the lake and I grabbed some scenic shots for you.

They painted the amphitheater as a rainbow after the Pulse Nightclub Shooting and I think it looks amazing and is a beautiful tribute.

After the market I made us some brunch. I made a very sad loaf of banana bread (the texture was off and the bottom was soggy because he did not have a cooling rack) but redeemed myself with one of the best tofu scrambles I've ever made. It had tofu, spinach and grape tomatoes and was seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic. So simple but so delicious.

That night I made a "Sunday Dinner" with one of my favorite foods ever. My mom makes these roasted potatoes in French Dressing and I know it probably sounds weird but it is so damn good you guys (just make sure the french dressing doesn't have honey in it). I made some baked tofu with the same dressing (I also added salt, pepper and garlic to the potatoes and tofu) and we had some delicious roasted asparagus. It was a really amazing meal.

So that's pretty much everything! I hope you enjoyed it and maybe got some meal ideas out of it. I cooked a lot more this trip and I think we had some really great vegan meals. I had an amazing time and a wonderful birthday weekend and I'm so grateful to my friend for making it special!

I hope you all had a great weekend as well <3
