Vegetarian indulgences

It seems that the non-veggie options out there are the most popular indulgences. Juicy cheeseburger, a giant steak, etc.

But, there are plenty of forbidden foods on the vegetarian side of the fence.

My favorite:

Pita, stuffed with falafel, baba ghanoush, a little *extra* tahini, sprouts, tomato, cucumber, and maybe even a little *more* tahini.
Throw some Israeli pickles on the side.

And I know the perfect place in NYC to get this sorta stuff...

Come one people, let's see some veggie love!

    I don't eat cheese that often because I get horrible stomach aches but there is nothing like (and totally worth the pain) homade Mac-N-Cheese!!

    Also, Thai and Indian Food dishes....and I can consume a whole lot of tabbouleh! :)

    Except wine, I eat every one of those things every single day.

    MMMMMM.

    And don't get me started on Indian! Oy. Some cheese naan, vegetable pakora ...

    Here's one.

    *any* of the Cypress Grove cheeses.

    Humboldt Fog - looks Morbier. Do not be fooled. It's a ripened chevre. Insane.
    Truffle Tremor - Humboldt Fog plus black truffles.



    bread, cheese and wine is pretty high up on my list too. crusty baguette or sourdough = awesome.

    Vegetarian omelet, hummus dip, delicious black bean burritos, and anything that has chocolate on it.

    I had the most delicious wrap recently: roasted red pepper hummus, a generous serving of tabbouleh and balsamic glaze. Flavor party!

    And then put some bacon on it to make it REALLY good! ;-)

    I'd second the Indian food, very delicious, very rich, and quite often veggie-friendly. Paneer masala is one of my favorites there.

    If you want something warm with a lot of fluids, laksa soup is a really good, really rich (coconut oil) soup that hits the spot EVERY time.

    I always laugh when people tell me they want to become vegan because it will help them lose weight or say that being vegetarian is a surefire way to be thin.

    I always point out that even a vegan can eat a whole bag of potato chips.

    simple, but SO good.

    Having a bit of french bread with some cheese and cheap wine is one of my favorite things ever! Such a great combination.


    I can make a mean vegetarian chocolate zuchinni muffin! Mmmm!

    humboldt fog on top of a burger (sorry, not veg!) is divine.

    I love falafel and I see it as a pretty good food, in small doses. My biggest weakness is having it with halloumi which I've avoided for a while.

    My favourite indulgences are pizza, vegetarian hot dogs, Vegetarian burgers and vegetarian schnitzels.

    I'm so lucky (or not so lucky LOL) to have some wonderful resturants and pastry shops around here. Not that they are just close by but that they are fabulous! :) The problem is always figuring out what one we want to eat at. :)
