Go ethnic!



Most plant based eaters probably already know this, but for newbies like us, it was a revelation.  Our great little city, (Tulsa, Oklahoma), does not have very many vegan or even vegetarian friendly restaurants.  We mostly make our meals at home, which is fine for the most part.  It gets old eating my own food all the time, though.  A girl needs to be taken out to eat once in a while for a break. 




Use your hands!  This amazingly large appetizer is muhammara,
roasted ras el hanout cauliflower salad, and tabouli, served with
laffa, a large flat bread made at the restaurant.

We are just starting to realize that some of the ethnic restaurants seem to be vegetarian and vegan friendly.  They do not advertise themselves in that way, but that way of eating simply fits in with their cultural dishes. 

Street falafel, sweet potato fries, with pomegranate ketchup.
Inside the wrap: falafel, hummus, pickles, beets, pickled slaw,
and chopped salad.








We had lunch today at a restaurant that serves Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine.  We were able to very easily piece together a plant based meal, and the food was absolutely delicious.  If you are in the Tulsa area, the name of the restaurant is Laffe.  We have no ties to this restaurant, but we will definitely be returning.
