Another Saturday

Asheville, NC. Totally worth the 11 hour drive. This little nook is any vegan's haven! I ate so many wonderful meals, hung out with so many wonderful people, and camped out in the wonderful Linville Gorge. Needless to say, it was pretty damn hard to come back to the city.
Check out these bad boys: 

First night's dinner at Rosa's Cafe - Tofu Avocado Sammie with a creamy walnut dressing.


Vegan Nacho Cheese - soooo good!


Sesame Kale for Breakfast


Greenlife's Raw Quiche - walnuts, cashews, flax, more good stuff topped with spinach basil 


Amy perfectly matching Rosa's Vegan Mac N Cheese - Togo cup only 2.50!! 


Appetizer at the Laughing Seed. Dumplings that were mexican/asian fusion. Delicious black bean filling with a sesame soy glaze on top bed of greens and sprouts. 


Laughing seed main course! Raw Spinach manicotti. SO good, zucchini noodles, filled with spinach, basil, cashew cream, on top of sun-dried tomato sauce drizzled with pesto garnished with olives and basil. 


Back to the Greenlite for breakfast. Today's hot bar had vegan sausage and gravy, homefries, tofu scramble topped with fresh veggies, sprouts and hot sauce - all this for $5.99.


Even  the small town of Black Mountain had vegan options on the menu. Above is the best rice bean burger I've ever had, served with fresh tomato, guac, a side of pinto beans, and chipotle fries. 


Linville Gorge. My camera died immediately after this picture, otherwise I'd have the VEGAN S'MORES that Beka provided for our group. Definitely the cherry on top of this awesome vegan food filled weekend.
