Green Goddess

Thursday night I went out to Fresh on Bloor with Andrea (checkout her blog The Sane Spot) to have a delicious veg meal. Of the three locations in Toronto I had only been to the one on Spadina a few years ago so it was great to check out this one especially with my new diet. We opted to have the fixed prix menu: a choice of fruit smoothie or vegetable juice, an appetizer, a main and dessert for $21. I opted for the The Pink Dolphin (raspberries, mango and banana), Curried Avocado Dosas, The Green Goddess Bowl and a Chocolate Chip Cookie for dessert. I basically rolled outta there. Literally. I had about four bites of my Green Goddess Bowl and had to take the rest to go but it made an excellent brunch on Friday morning.

It was a great meal and while a lot of the ingredients: mango, banana, brown rice, tahini, ginger, chocolate, oats and flour are not local I have decided to give myself a little leeway.  If I go out for dinner or I am invited to eat someone's house I will try to eat locally and as organic as possible but I know I can't promise it. I mean I already feel like an inconvenience being a vegetarian and going to someone's house to eat so I cannot demand local stuff as well. While I am out dining I cannot tour the kitchen or read labels so I will try my best.

Green Goddess Bowl

This was my oh-so-delicious bowl of goodness! Baby bok choy, kale, broccoli, and seaweed on top of brown rice, topped with sunflower seeds, tahini, and grilled tempeh.

I have a super busy weekend ahead of me with papers and beginning to pack for our move at the end of November. So I will try to write about my Brickworks Farmer's Market experience but I can't promise anything! I am hoping I will find some yummy things to cook with!

What are your plans for the weekend? Anyone have any good moving tips?
