I have been trying to delay the arrival of this day for a while now…but there’s no point in denying it, I’m back in the real world after 10 days of bliss. Vacation was amazing. I saw a lot, ate a lot, enjoyed a lot, worked out none – and it was fabulous! Exactly the way vacation is supposed to be. I didn’t take photos of my food, because frankly, that would have been obnoxious, and I just wanted to enjoy it all, guilt free.
While dining out on this trip, I was definitely inspired to create new meals at home. I can’t wait to try to vegan-ize so many of the dishes we enjoyed.
A few highlights: tortilla espanola, especially the “Pans” truita sando with tortilla, itty bitty cafes (sugarless and milkless), crepes with nutella and bananas, lots of great seafood dishes, lots of baguettes (hello freshly baked bread…mmm), Ping Pong’s dim sum, borough market place…
I could go on and on and on…good thing we did a lot of walking, otherwise I would have come back 10 pounds heavier!
Pans & Company – I can’t get enough of this place, I wish they would open up stores in the US
Maoz Vegetarian – Veggie/vegan heaven, plus they are even in nyc!
Pret A Manger – Such a great company, healthy AND environmentally responsible (oh, and did I mention tasty!)
Ping Pong – we went to the location on the south bank, great dim sum with lots of veggie options, the vegetable puffs were SO good, we got so many plates of them that they ran out! The baked dishes are great, but they are known for their steamed dishes. I liked the baked ones the best, though. Mouth watering.
Ok, the rest is history! Back to reality š
