[AUTOSAVED] Peanut Butter Bread

This morning I made Peanut Butter bread (by hand) using Have Cake Will Travel's recipe. It just came out of the oven. It looks like it came out well. It is still cooling. The smell is killing me. I want to go in the kitchen and cut a big chunk out of it and eat it.

Vertical Diner - My new favorite restaurant

Mike and I went to Vertical Diner on Saturday. We had to go into Salt Lake to get the car turned up and run some errands which gives us the perfect excuse to eat a good vegan meal. Vertical Diner is really cute. It is off on a side street and there is parking in back and there is an entrance in the back. This vegan restaurant has such yummy things like all day brunch, fried chicken, a thurs night special of Chicken Fried Steak, and some nice sandwiches.

We got a couple of smoothies and a couple of entrees. My smoothie was called a "blue monkey" and it contained bananas, apples, and strawberries. It was soo purpley-blue that I felt like a kid drinking it. And boy did it taste good. Mike has some sort of berry conconction that I couldn't be bothered with as I was sucking down my blue monkey. Ok, I did taste it and it tasted like raspberries.

We split two entrees and both were really good. We had the Biscuits and gravy with tofu scramble and vegan sausage, and Fried "Chicken" with hashbrowns and gravy. We loved the biscuits and gravy and the tofu scramble. We both were kind of meh on the sausage. We also both loved the fried chicken. The hash browns were ok. We'd have prefered some mashed potatoes with that gravy. The two main dishes and smoothies came to about $35. Very reasonable

This is our new favorite place and we plan to come eat at it everytime we go into Salt Lake City. This includes any time we have to pick up people from the airport. They will have to go to Vertical Diner with us (whether they like it or not).

[AUTOSAVED] Vegan bath products

I have this great new bathtub in my new place and some really dry skin. I need bath products. Does anyone have suggestions for some nice vegan natural bath products? I'm getting a little tired of Lush. Please let me know what products you are currently in love with.

I'm really counting on my friend Liz to have lots of suggestions here! :)

The move to Utah, and review of Sages in SLC

Sorry there hasn't been much activity here lately. We just moved to Park City last week so things have been quite hectic. If you wanted to see how the move went, or how the cats did in their cross country trip, or you are just looking for something else to read, my livejournal chronicles our trip.

Last weekend, Mike and I went to Sage's in Salt Lake for a birthday dinner. We have been there before and previously had the portobello philly "cheese steak" and the tempeh philly "cheese steak" respectively. We loved it and couldn't wait to go back again.

This time, I had the vegan "chicken" philly and Mike had the mushrrom stroganoff and we had bruschetta as an appetizer. The bruschetta was great with pesto, tomatoes, and a little sliver of tofu. I loved the "chicken" philly and think that it totally kicks the tempeh philly in the booty. Definitely get the vegan "chicken" if you go there. They make their own and it is really good. Also, ask for extra "cheese" sauce with your philly. Mike's stroganoff was not very good so we do not recommend that dish. It was giant wide and thick noodles in a watery mushroom sauce. I highly recommend this place, but don't get the stroganoff.

I also learned while I was there, that the same person owns Vertical Diner in Salt Lake. We will have to try that soon. They have all day breakfast! Tofu scramble, biscuits, pancakes. Yum.
