Trying New Things

Shoreline Bar and Grill has some new-to-me vegan items on their menu...
Sunday breakfast was the 'Vegan Benny' - Layered White Potatoes, Spinach, Tomato, Avocado, Grilled Onions and Coconut Curry Sauce. I dont know if it was the Onions or Curry Sauce, but the dish was surprisingly sweet. Belongs on the Lunch or Dinner menu IMO...
now their 'Irie Veggie Medley' of Crispy Tofu, Stewed Chickpeas, Sauteed Spinach and Peppers with Rice was absolutely delectable! Huge fan of this dish and so thrilled to find another satisfying vegan meal on the Island....
'Balsamic Soy Roasted Mushrooms' at Sabroso is another great meatless dish. They use big fresh Mushrooms...
at home, still enjoying the carryout Soups. This was Black Bean Soup from Moe's Market. Great batch of Soup this week...
As far as actually making something for myself, that has been limited lately to Gardein Fishless Filets. Hard to believe, but they sort of are like fish (Pasta Salad from Ma's Vegi Deli in the background).,..
Breakfast has become all about PB and Banana! Thank you Sarah and Ingrid for reminding me of this option. Really been enjoying breakfast lately. Lots more to come. Bye for now.

  1. It all looks so delicious. The tofu dish especially. It seems like everyone on the island really knows how to prepare tofu, it always looks drool worthy.
    I still remember the first time I had Gardein fishless filets, it almost scared me!

    1. I hate being scared by faux meat products, especially in restaurants. Fortunately, the Fishless Filets are just the right amount of fishy.

  2. Yay for peanut butter and banana! It's such a simple dish yet so satisfying. Everything looks really delicious! The Vegan Benny looks good but I can see how it would be a better lunch or dinner option. The crispy tofu and huge mushrooms look great too!

    I was so skeptical of the Gardein Fishless Filets because I never liked fish in my pre-vegan days but I was pleasantly surprised by them! I'm glad that you can find them even if in limited quantities.

    1. I should have read your comment before commenting again ha! At this point very few arrangements are made because I've done it so often but basically before they leave they freshen up the litter and clean the fish tank. Otherwise I take care of pretty much everything. There is usually some produce that they didn't finish before they left but I go grocery shopping and bring it over. We do not talk every day. If Delilah is missing the animals we'll face time but they don't call every day. I don't know if it's because they know everything will be fine but I don't think that they stress about it.

    2. Damn they are so lucky! To just up and go, I cant imagine. Until they invent clones, I will never have that luxury.

  3. That crispy tofu and chick pea dish really looks grand.

  4. The vegan benedict is so creative! I like that they didn't even try to make a fake egg fake meat fake hollandaise sauce combo- this sounds much better. I like that the crispy tofu dish comes with rice and fries-why not?
    I have never tried those fishless filets, maybe it's time i do.

    My mom was visiting this weekend-we had some great meals out at sake bar hagi and tonight at 12 chairs for middle eastern food. Chilly and rainy weekend so we skipped ice cream but did get a cupcake and cookies at the by chloe sweet shop which were fantastic as always

    1. I was wondering where you were, and was actually gonna email to see what was up. Thanks for the update. I assume you are leaving for Korea and China again, any cool pics please send my way. Glad Mom's visit was a success.

      I dont think the Fishless Filets are your style. They are like a McD's Fliet o Fish if you were ever into that. Only try if they are on a super sale or something.
