TaDah! Falafel Street Wrap With Spicy Brown Sugar Harissa Hummus

This is my first time trying the spicier version of this street wrap. This product is soft and about the size of a regular burrito. The filling is very flavorful from spices and has a good amount of heat from jalapeno pepper and ghost pepper sauce. The brown sugar comes through just as the heat kicks in. The combination of flavors is strange to me, but it works. It seems like a blend of Indian, Mexican, and desert foods. This one is very good, but it could be a bit too bold for the regular TaDah! eaters. This TaDah! is for when you're letting loose and having one of those crazy weekends.

Dr. Praeger's Buffalo Chick'n Sliders

This is documentation of my first experience with Dr. Praeger's Buffalo Chick'n Sliders. This was very easy to prepare. I added mixed greens and Follow Your Heart Vegenaise.

These sliders were very soft and moist. The flavors were mild but satisfying. There was a gentle lingering heat after eating, but just enough to notice. This seems to be mild enough for kids, and the size is perfect for small hands. The serving size was perfect for a light lunch. Overall, this is a good vegan, soy-free product. I do prefer more variety of texture, but this was microwaved. The uniformly soft texture was no surprise. Next time I may use the oven instructions for something slightly different.

This is another winner from Dr. Praeger's. Very good! I will buy this again!

Home-made Vegan Thai Cabbage

I boiled some leftover cabbage, stirred in a few teaspoons of leftover Yai's Thai Red Thai Coconut Curry, and stirred in a couple teaspoons of creamy natural style peanut butter. This was almost free, and it took about 5 minutes to make. 

Piñata Quesadilla at Fire & Spice TexMex Smokehouse in Huntsville AL

Here's another good choice from the ironic but greatly appreciated vegan menu at Fire & Spice TexMex Smokehouse. The Piñata Quesadilla is vegan! It comes with one side. I chose the one side I knew was vegan, the Charro Beans.

Piñata Quesadillas at Fire & Spice TexMex Smokehouse in Huntsville AL

This was excellent. The quesadillas are made with vegan cheese. I was told this was cooked in a separate area from the meats. The flavors were so bright, layered, and harmonious. The portion size was enough for a big guy or for splitting into two smaller meals. The outer tortilla was perfectly crisp.

I do wish the vegan cheese was melted more, but vegan cheese just requires higher heat for melting, and that would possibly burn the other parts of the meal. So that was almost expected. This was quite oily once I started digging in. No big deal. They had rolls of paper towels at the table. The price was a bit high for quesadillas, but the awesome flavors and great service made it worth the price. Overall, this was great, and I'd like to order it again in the future. Vegans, just remind the server that you'd like to be sure everything is vegan safe. They know the V word at this smokehouse.

Another great thing about Fire & Spice is the cleanliness of the kitchen. I rarely find cleaner restaurants. If you sit at the bar, you can watch them make the food.

A Simple Home-made Vegan Dinner: Asparagus, Garbanzo Beans, and Biscuits with Gravy

This was so easy and cheap, but surprisingly tasty! I used canned asparagus and garbanzo beans to save time. I lightly sprinkled my favorite seasonings on the beans. The biscuits were made with just flour. water, salt, baking soda, and olive oil. The gravy was leftover home-made mushroom gravy.
