Margs/Guac + Grill Outs + Coffee Cake

A couple weeks ago, my friend Andy had a birthday, and he wanted to go to dinner at Los Comales in Midtown. I'd never been because their menu doesn't have a single vegan (or even vegetarian) item! I bet they'd make some veggie fajitas if asked, but I don't really trust places that don't even put vegetarian items on the menu. Lucky for me, I love a meal of chips/guac and margaritas for dinner! So that's what I had. Also, they serve this free avocado-jalapeno sauce with the chips/salsa, and it's vegan!


Paul bought us a new grill a few weeks ago, and I've been using the heck out of it! It's a gas grill, so it's super simple to use. I'm used to charcoal, which is a whole long process. A couple weekends ago, we made Grilled Portabella Burgers, Grilled Corn on the Cob, Grilled Asapargus, Grilled Peppers, and Potato Salad.


Later that week, I had some leftover potato salad with a Smoked Tofu BLT (using the last of the tofu my dad smoked for me). 


A couple weekends ago, I had this for a Saturday morning breakfast. Lulu's Strawberry Muffin with Smoked Tofu Bacon and Air-Fried Hash Browns.


And speaking of Lulu's, I had last Friday off work for the holiday weekend. But I still woke up early to get to LuLu's for my morning treat! I got the Coffee Cake, which I enjoyed outside on the patio at Puck Food Hall with some coffee from home.

I so agree with you about restaurants that don't even have vegetarian options! I would have made the same choice! Sounds like a great, fun dinner!
Man, I haven't had coffee cake in a million years, it sounds so good!!
I'm impressed that you grill, I'm terrified of grilling and deep frying!!

One of the things that annoys me is seeing restaurants lister on UberEats or Zomato or whatever that are listed as being vegan friendly and then you read the menu and there is nothing that is even remotely resembling vegan. I need some clearly marked options please! At least there are chips and salsa.
