it's easier to be vegan than most people think

When I tell people I'm vegan, the first thing they ask is 'what do you eat when you're on the road?' Doesn't matter where I go, I can always find something, whether it's a salad and potato, or steamed veggies and pasta. I don't need a whole lot of food (I feel better when I only eat small portions) and am happy with simpler dishes.

Needless to say, I do inquire if I suspect anything such as lard, fish oils and other such no-nos being present in a dish. But I have simple tastes when dining out, and usually steamed vegetables and rice have little to suspect.  :)

So, when I happen upon a veg cafe, I get pretty darn excited, and believe me; Atlanta has a lot to offer in the way of vegan dining. (More reason to love Atlanta.)

When my husband and I took another mini-trip to Atlanta last week to set up my art show, we tried Cafe Sunflower for the first time. Vegetarian with lots of vegan options.  Delectable dishes with explosions of flavor. The most amazing vegan desserts in the south. Highly freaking recommended. Check. It. Out.
