Indonesian Peanut Sauté from Noodles & Company



My daughter was on spring break and so we wanted to go have a date. We ventured out to our favorite Vegan restaurant only to find that it wasn't open for lunch. So, we decided to see if Noodles and Company had some healthy options. They are awesome! All the pasta dishes on their menu (minus the Wisconsin mac and cheese) can be made Vegan. We decided to try the Indonesian Peanut Saute with grilled tofu. It was so good! The zippy bold flavors made my mouth happy! We got the small portion and it was plenty for the 2 of us to share. I was super impressed with this place. Noodles & Company is definitely more on the health conscious end of the spectrum in terms of restaurants. You can go HERE to check out their extensive and tangible nutrition information. We most definitely will be back.



Yum!

3 Sisters Cafe

Traveling. We went on our first "trip" since starting our WFPB way of life. I was nervous as to how it was going to go. A big part of traveling for me is food! Let's just say, this trip did NOT disappoint!
 
We went on a little weekend trip to Indianapolis, Indiana. Before going, I decided to search out some hot Vegan spots. 3 Sisters Cafe came right up. So, while the husband was at his work conference, the kid and I ventured out for some lunch. First off, this cafe was in the Broad Ripple Village. This part of Indy was so fun and had such a great vibe. We found the restaurant- it was in  a darling old house.

I had a hard time deciding what to order. While the menu wasn't just Vegan, there were many choices. I went with the waiter's suggestion and ordered the 'King of Siam'.  This entree was a grilled flatbread with hummus, cranberry grain pilaf and spinach. It was DELICIOUS! The flavors were so distinct and blended really well. The portion was huge and my lucky husband got some yummy leftovers. And, it came with a scrumptious fruit salad. Oh, I want to go back!

YUM!
