Marc had agreed to go vegetarian at least until today. Now he is even thinking of going Raw Vegan!!! Why did he change his mind so quickly?
First, when I even mentioned Raw Vegan(I did that because he asked what all types of vegans were there) he said HECK NO. He had this vision that it meant eating only fruits and veggies how they come. As in getting a carrot and just munching on it like it is. He didn't understand you can actually make meals while being a Raw Vegan. No, you don't cook the food, you just know how to compare them.
I convinced him to go with me today to try a Raw Vegan restaurant in Dallas, Tx. He was a little nervous at first but when we got into the little restaurant, diner is probably more appropriate, he noticed other people's plates and how full the plates were. Most of all, how good the food looked!!
We ordered our food and ate half of each others, that way we could try more than one thing. We both LOVED it! It's not about 7 hours later and he says he still isn't hungry. Which, if you knew my husband well, is SHOCKING! LOL! Of course he's going to eat dinner anyways because it's unhealthy to go without eating. But he never gets full! We would go to AppleBee's and he'd get a full plate of ribs along with sides and still be ready for dessert..and 2 hours later..hungry again! So this was a new experience for him all around. He was very excited about the food. He also loved the atmosphere at the place.
Let me tell you more about where we went and what we ate.
The place is called Be Raw Fresh Food and Juice. http://www.berawfoodandjuice.com/
6005 Berkshire Lane
Dallas, TX 75225
I ordered the Veggie Sandwich:
Creamy cashew cheese with romaine lettuce, cucumber, avocado(I 86'd that), beef steak tomato, zucchini, olives, red onion rings, and sprouts.
He ordered the Taco Salad:
Organic romaine lettuce with tomato, cucumber, red onions, guacamole(86'd that), capers, olives, taco meat(of course not actual animal meat), topped with pico de gallo and spicy salsa.
This was both of our favorite!!
Along with my meal I also ordered and elixir. Chocolate Bliss! O.M.G....!!!! So freaking good!!! It was so satisfying!
Chocolate Bliss Elixir:
Raw Cacao, agave nectar and coconut butter
Doesn't that just look dreamy?!
Marc also ordered a Cookies n' Cream Cheesecake, I unfortunately didn't get the ingredients or a picture of this. But I do know that it was made with dates and coconut oil LOL that's all I can remember her telling us. But I tasted it and it was delish!!
So ladies..or gents..if you are wanting to pursue any new eating habits and your spouse or partner are nervous about it, take them here! Show them that it's not going to make food boring for them. They will still love food!!!!
I am SUPER excited that Marc is on board with me! Heck, I think he's more on board! He's talking more about going Raw Vegan when I am still trying to become just Vegan LOL! It's definitely a hard process..very hard, but we both know in the long run it'll be SO worth it!!!
what does 86'd that mean? lol
