A list of favorites of the vegetarian and vegan food I experienced at the Taste of Epcot International Food and Wine Festival during Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration!
Travel
Taking unique city tours when I travel to a new place is one of my favorite activities. Some people find certain tours to be too touristy, but I personally think it’s a great way to explore different neighborhoods, try the signature foods, learn about the city and even meet people. I’ve been on walking tours, …
2019 is the year of travel, at least for me! I consider myself to be a full-time traveler right now – while I still have a home base in NC, I started off the year with a month of back-to-back traveling (with much more to come). Part of it is intended to find a place …
Are you headed to New York City for only a weekend? Here’s some of my favorite vegetarian finds, drink spots and things to do for a short getaway. A little backstory: My cousin Bella had an internship in New York City this summer. She had long work hours and limited weekends where she could actually …
As part of my NC farm tour this summer, I had my very first bed and breakfast experience! (See also: New Belgium Brewery Tour, The Farm pizza dinner and tour.) Carolina Bed & Breakfast in downtown Asheville was so welcoming and made my first time an easy one. Even though I wasn’t able to take …
Just outside of Asheville, North Carolina is a beautiful wedding and events venue called The Farm: A Gathering Place. This tour was part of the wheat and dairy farm tour I went on in June. See my post of the New Belgium Brewery tour too! I’d actually been to The Farm for a wedding a …
September is North Carolina wine month! To celebrate, I am sharing what I learned about NC wines on a recent tour I went on, where I visited a few locations close to the Raleigh-Durham area. First fun fact – did you know that North Carolina has over 400 vineyards and 200 wineries? Most of them …
Earlier this summer I went on a wheat and dairy farm tour in western NC. Not only did we get to tour a dairy farm, a wheat farm, a MilkCo production facility, explore local Asheville restaurants AND stay in downtown bed and breakfasts – we also were able to eat (and drink!) things that included …
Top Vegetarian (and Vegan!) Food Recommendations in Los Angeles Recently I visited Los Angeles for a conference and was able to explore the town for a few days. I mostly split by time between downtown LA and Hollywood, so here are my favorite vegan and vegetarian restaurants in those neighborhoods! Downtown Los Angeles Ramen Hood …
My trip to Boston this October was mostly about food – and visiting my cousin. 🙂 While it was a quick weekend trip, we sure ate a lot! We didn’t get to take any tours this trip, but I have before – and generally they are my favorite way to see a city. Especially if …
At the time of writing, it’s been a handful of months since I visited Salt Lake City for the first time. While most of my time there was spent in a conference (Everything Food!, so fun), I did have a some time in between and a full day to explore and walk around. (I walked …
A special thanks to La Farm Bakery and the NC Bloggers Network for this behind-the-scenes tour! There’s a cute little bakery in town I frequent for brunch (or latte art). And by little, I mean it’s always so jam-packed with people that there’s very little room to get in the door. Luckily they opened a …
(2023 update: Peaceful River Farms is no longer in business) In addition to traveling, lately I’ve been trying to get more involved in local events. Probably like most people, I realized I had been saving “adventures” for new cities and not exploring my own town! So when I saw an event come up at a local farm, …
I’ve visited Charleston at least a handful of times. Sometimes they were short day trips, which made for a LONG day because it’s like a 4 hour drive from me. One time was in college and as broke students we were planning on camping out for a night, not knowing there was going to be a …
Austin, Texas vegetarian eats, treats and various activities. Visited in October 2016. Austin has been on my list of “Top Places to Visit” for a while now. Everyone I knew that had been seems to love the city. The stars finally aligned a couple months ago when a food conference was being held there and a travel …
Late this summer, I met up with my bestie in Las Vegas. Michelle lives in Canada, so she got an extra shock to her system when the temp got up to 118°F! While it wasn’t a food-centric trip (is that a word?), there were some places we ate that I thought would be fun to talk about here. …
It took me a few months to get to writing this post, because I wasn’t sure at first if I wanted to start writing travel posts. I finally figured since most of my travel does revolve around food, I would expand the “trying and eating” talk beyond just my own recipes. I also just got back from …
