So envious of you west coasters! Where I live, the closest thing to vegan is the veggie sub at subway... ugh.
At least through the kind life, I have learned that I can create lovely food here at home for my honey and littles. (my girls aged 6 and 5 gobbled up the Leek, pesto crostinis like they were snickers bars!- how cool is that?- now if only they would believe me when I say that the vegan chocolate is just as good- they're not yet convinced!)
