I'll post more often on both of those and do really big posts here again every once in while.<br />

I'm posting this from Berlin, Germany. I have good news and bad news...<br />
The good news is that: I love that you have supported me throughout the last however many years I've been posting as MN Vegan, on fb/instagram/the blog. I'm glad ppl thought my posts were worthwhile at all.<br />
The bad news: I've got some big plans for myself in the next 1.5-2 years and really need to focus on them. This Europe trip has made it even more apparent than before. I will no longer be posting as MN Vegan from here on out. I'll take down the fb in the next couple of days and leave the blog up. I AM STILL VEGAN. Vegan for life, yo.<br />
<br />
You all have been wonderful, seriously. Thank you for saying hi to me at the vegan festivals and sharing in my joy of vegan food. We have a ton of options now in Minnesota and it's so great (check out HappyCow Vegan Guide, they're the best!) Peace and love always,<br />
<br />

That's because I'm mostly posting on the FB and IG these days (@themnvegan on both). Also I co-star on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FeedMeVegan/">Feed Me Vegan</a> and that's been keeping me busy too (@feedmeveganshow on IG and FB!). Check me out!<br />
<br />
I felt it imperative, NAY-ABSOLUTELY 100% NECESSARY, to post about my favorite things that I ate this year, and lord knows I can't fit all of that in one FB/IG post (read: I eat a lot).<br />
<br />
I wanted to make certain this was feasible for readers and so I made it very, very simple for you: Best Lunch/Dinner Meal, Best Breffest/Brunch Meal (bc it's my fave meal of the day. Luh you soooo very much, brunch, you the best), and Best Dessert (second favorite meal).<br />
<br />
BEST LUNCH/DINNER MEAL: Gotta give it up to <a href="http://www.swcraftbar.com/">Señor Wongs</a> in St Paul. If you're wanting a good lunch/Taco Tuesday/date dinner this place provides a damn good meal with lots of vegan options.<br />

This is really not that important. It's about food and stuff. Because this is a food blog. And today I'm feeling particularly bloggy.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However...I will say that in a couple of weeks I'm going be able to share some really exciting news with you all. But until then your curious minds will have to wait. I promise it's good. I PROMISE, OK????</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
Ok. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm really just wasting time because I'm thinking about what I've eaten recently that I can show you. Ah yes!<br />
<br />
I went on a hiking trip on the Superior Hiking Trail in Duluth. I didn't make my goal (30 miles), but I did acquire a kickass injured ankle and knee. Win win? Don't answer that.<br />
<br />
I did drown my sorrows in this though (the quinoa curry bowl from <a href="https://duluthgrill.com/">Duluth Grille</a>), which was probably the best decision I made the entire trip. The cubes that look like tofu are actually fried garbanzo bean cubes (aka yummmm):<br />

And then! I ate some schtuff at the beloved <a href="http://www.theherbivorousbutcher.com/">Herbivorous Butcher.</a> This is their Italian Cold Cut sammy and the ghost pepper caramel they carry (made by <a href="http://nickyscomfortcandy.com/">Comfort Candy</a>). Both were hella good and full of flavor. Beware of the spice of that caramel. It hit me right in the back of the throat while I was leaving and I'm pretty sure everyone in the shop thought I was gonna die because all of a sudden I sounded like Golem.<br />

<br />
Anyways, I tried the Follow Your Heart's vegan egg finally. It was legit, though I felt like I was preparing it wrong because it kept getting watery. Turns out, this lady doesn't know how to follow the damn directions that well!<br />
Whatever. Shout out to The Herbivorous Butcher because:<br />
1. They carry it on in store and<br />
2. I will try to marry one of them (not really....ok I lied, yes really).:<br />
<br />

Shown here: the vegan egg being prepared and the prepared product with some hot sauce. I mixed in some onion, cajun seasoning, and salt. It had the consistency of scrambled eggs and a really good flavor. I don't remember what eggs taste like (it's been 11 year...) but I dare say this tasted BETTER. THAT'S RIGHT-BETTER. *put up fists*<br />
<br />
All right guys see you next time, I'm outty 5000.<br />

Also...sorry about the ads I have to post on my website...but I know you guys will forgive me soon bc I'm about to change your damn life. With...desserts!!!<br />
<br />
Ok y'all. I'm about to lay some knowledge on you. I ate a lot of places this last year and wanted to pull the best of the best out of the foods so you get the down and dirty version of where to eat. I'll post later about general dope meals I've eaten in the last year as well...but I wanted to center this entry around my favorite food group....DESSERT!!!<br />
<br />
Ok. So here's what you do/where ya you go:<br />
<br />
First go to <a href="http://www.duluthgrill.com/">Duluth Grille</a> (in Duluth) for their chocolate avocado ice cream (comes w/a snicker doodle cookie):<br />

How exciting is that?! I used to bake vegan stuff for a living and tbh hadn't done much baking in a while. That there is a dark chocolate meringue pie and its total meringue-y goodness sent me into a blissful sugar coma (that eventually induced a nightmare but whatevs I can deal) and also, it's super effing pretty, am I right? Yum.</div>

Ok so here's the thing...I love this place. They have a separate vegan/vegetarian/gluten free menu if you ask them. I got the mango curry thing and for dessert the banana coconut rice dessert thing. Everything there is pretty much stellar tho so go and gives them yer monies, yo. I would highly recommend the above dishes but I tell you...I was drooling over every body else's dish, as per usual. </div>

Ok so from top to bottom, let's do this! For the appetizer, me and mother dearest shared some spicy potatoes, which are a crowd favorite-slightly crunchy and perfectly spiced. Next we got the mango coconut curry with tofu-sweet and spicy! And then last but not least, the coconut carrot creme brûlée, which is always a great way to end a meal (i.e. very full). Namaste is good for many reasons, such as: romantic place to bring a first date (twinkly lights), vegan stuff is labeled on the menu, that there coconut creme brûlée, the chai tea, etc etc. Woop!</div>

Ok, next. <a href="http://www.bombaybistromn.com/">Bombay Bistro</a> has a lunch buffet that is so freaking tasty and all-you-can-eat-y, I can't even. I told that to the guy running the joint after my meal and he was all like girl, </div>

Here's is all the tasty-looking stuff that's vegan in the buffet. There's probably more there during the lunch buffet (for less than $15 all you can eat), but I barely survived this buffet because EVERYTHING. Literally everything was on point so hard I almost stabbed myself w it. It's also pretty central in downtown Mpls-get it! Also ask the ppl there what is vegan-they're super friendly and helpful. </div>

Eyyyyy get ready for the latest and greatest (read: my faves of what I put into my mouthhole recently):<br />
<br />There's this place near me called <a href="http://mojocoffeegallery.com/">Mojo Coffee Gallery</a> (art gallery and coffee bar) and it is the jam. I love this place and I know I said this last time but it amazed me so I have to mention is again: some dude was making a huge fish out of garbage while I sat there eating my vegan veggie burger. And I kid you not, this guy was methodical and hypnotizing to watch. Also I might have been kinda tipsy. SUCH IS LIFE.<br />
<br />
Anyways I ate there again and watched another art thingy happen, check the pics!:<br />

H'okay moving on.

They have a ton of really great vegan options there and this vegan orange currant scone, though it did have the texture of a muffin, was very good! </div>

Anyhoo, my friend Karrie makes gluten free vegan donuts and sells them every Wed at the Capella Tower in downtown Mpls. GET THE MAPLE (COCONUT) BACON ONE. OR THE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE ONE. OR THE LEMON ONE. OR ALL OF THEM JUST GET ALL OF THEM. They are so so so good. Follow her stuff to see where she will be selling next-<a href="https://www.facebook.com/TotallyBakedDonuts">Totally Baked Donuts</a> on FB.<br />

Okey dokey I think I'm gonna waddle my way outta here *starts taking a food nap at her desk*<br />

So I am now a licensed graduate social worker, just passed my licensing test nbd. To celebrate my achievements and subsequent hair loss over this whole ordeal my parents bought me a $50 dollar gift card to the <a href="http://www.duluthgrill.com/">Duluth Grill</a>, a really awesome and very vegan-friendly eatery in the heart of downtown Duluth. Then the 'rents were all like "hey this giftcard is for you but also for us bc we want you to take a day trip to Duluth with us and use this...on us!!! Surprise!!!" </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yup. They wanted me to take them out to dinner with the giftcard THEY bought me.Wth, parents. Ass backwards, that's HOW WE DO.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To my mother's and my surprise (or horror, rather bc we realized that we were about to eat A LOT of food), there are many vegan options here. Who woulda thought? The place looks like a damn Ground Round on the outside and freals if I'm being honest, the only thing that came to mind was chicken fingers (screw you Ground Round bc those were MY FREAKIN JAM-with honey mustard of course) when we rolled up. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Alas! Never fear! This place is so vegan friendly it hurts. In a good way. Yap. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Check it out!!!:</div>

I'm so glad the world didn't end before the end of this meal because this chocolate ice cream (made from avocados!) with this vegan snickerdoodle cookie would have been the perfect thing to be eating while kicking the bucket. Which reminds me-if any of you can help remind me (bc of course I'm going to opt to be senile and possibly have the worst short term memory when I'm older) that the day I die I want to go out choking on food like this. </div>

H'okay, yucca fries, you sweet, sweet morsels of awesome...ness. I got these guys from <a href="http://www.muddywatersmpls.com/">Muddy Waters</a>. Check out their vegan menu-it is the bomb.com. I think I've written about them a few times also so check them tags, ppl. I liken yucca to very thick, fried, french fries. These come with a pesto-y sauce that is also pretty dang tasty. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They are SO GOOD so watch yourself- you may never go back to regular fries again. I MEAN IT, YOU BETTER WATCH YOURSELF. </div>

That there is the vegan platter from <a href="http://www.muddywatersmpls.com/">Groundswell</a> in St Paul. This place has BOMB vegan food. This dish has seasoned quinoa and tempeh all topped with greens and guac. It is damn good. I love going to this place. They also have some pretty amazing coffee-I met one of my professors there for a decaf cuppa black joe and I was very pleased with the flavor of the brew. SO. FREAKIN. GOOD. </div>

Well look no further than <a href="http://www.fro-yo-soul.com/">Fro Yo Soul</a>....yo. Hee.<br />
<div>
They have a food truck (look at their <a href="http://www.fro-yo-soul.com/">website/Twitter</a> for current locations, current vegan flavors, junk like that), and one fine day (during Art-A-Whirl bc shit was poppin) they were parked right outside my damn house! Cool beans!</div>
<div>
I tried the mango I think and it's all self-serve. Their food truck charges by the weight so you get as many toppings as you'd like (also check the website for these bc they srsly have a whole bunch. I chose berries to top my coconut-based fro yo!)</div>

Ok now that you're properly in a sugar coma, why don't you drive to Edina (just a little southwest of Mpls) and check out <a href="http://pizzarev.com/">Pizza Rev</a> bc srsly this place is going to blow your freakin mind. It's like Chipotle for pizza and they have vegan cheese and meat! It's all personal pan sizes. You pick your crust (gluten free or regular but they taste the same-totally awesome btw) and then your sauce and toppings. They fire that shit up for probably like 5-8 minutes at most in their wood fire oven et voila!:</div>

I turned 28 years old on Dec 28 and it was nothing short of friggin magical.<br />
<br />
Wanna know what I did?? Do ya?<br />
<br />
Of course you do.<br />
<br />
Well, my first course of action was to get my brunch paid for by my parents so we went to <a href="http://www.frenchmeadowcafe.com/">French Meadow Bakery</a> and I got this...some bowl full of tempeh and other things.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwUkhy9dGemqK3uk6I6EIyvLHsYUVaCnxAditls4CraS5jgWeDXTyPWvAoq3oRjly2HnYHLpbxrri7J7E3dJGC_tsFU7ivhKolU-ozmBYIm3e7Ho7knQS3HKAcFB62VKyMM4an-MMZ7jw/s1600/FFF19800-04E1-4BD2-8B3C-4E86973E297B_zpswwimo59w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwUkhy9dGemqK3uk6I6EIyvLHsYUVaCnxAditls4CraS5jgWeDXTyPWvAoq3oRjly2HnYHLpbxrri7J7E3dJGC_tsFU7ivhKolU-ozmBYIm3e7Ho7knQS3HKAcFB62VKyMM4an-MMZ7jw/s1600/FFF19800-04E1-4BD2-8B3C-4E86973E297B_zpswwimo59w.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
The tempeh left a lot to be desired honestly-it looked like it had been unpackaged and then just drizzled in sauce. I've had better at FMB (honestly pretty consistently) so I would chalk this up as a fluke and the gods clearly trying to punish me for being 28/awesome/badass on my b day. Whatevs universe. There was and is clearly no stopping me at this point so give up, ya jerks.<br />
<br />
Then I promptly headed to <a href="http://thomsonhouse.biz/">AG Thomson House</a> (a bed and breakfast in Duluth, MN) where I received an in-suite massage (!) and a vegan breakfast at my door the next morning. Here's some choice pictures from that whole thing:<br />
