~DC VEGFEST~2011~And Dinner

DC VEGFEST was a BLAST! Hubs and I left our house in New Jersey at 6:00 AM and made it down to DC by 9:30 AM. Stopped at Starbucks for a soy cappucino and enjoyed a morning stroll in DC. The festival started at 11 AM and we had SO MUCH FUN! See for yourself:


Very Happy Carrot Man!

Hubs couldn't resist taking a photo of this sticker!

Seriously we had so much fun and tried so many delicious vegan vittles! I was inspired by everything I learned, and saw, I came home and made this:

On the left I made Garlicky Mushroom Kale and Curried Cabbage & Peas from

And on the right my own little simple salad (recipe below):

1/4 cup Sweet Vinegar Peppers
1/2 cup Kamut, Cooked
1/2 cup Cannellini Beans, Cooked
Mix together and YUM!

On a non-vegan note I had just finished reading Hell's Corner by David Baldacci and really wanted to take a stroll and see the Lafayette Park that he wrote about. I had been to the White House before but never noticed this little park across the street. It is always fun to go to a real place that is discussed in a novel!
