Eateries on my Bucket-List

For my second blog post, I made a list of places to eat in my hometown that I can easily navigate with galactosemia. I have been to all of the eateries listed there, as well as many other places that cater to people with dietary restrictions. Many restaurants are aware of dietary restrictions nowadays, and they are happy to accommodate. Since I can eat most foods that are a part of the vegan diet, I tend to gravitate towards restaurants that are plant-based. To start the new year, I thought I would share my bucket list of places that I still want to try that are vegan or plant-based. Hopefully I can try some of them this year! Here are the eateries on my bucket-list, arranged geographically closest to furthest from where I live.

East Coast

1. G-Monkey Fast Food

Location: 625 New Park Avenue SUITE G, West Hartford, Connecticut 06110

G-Monkey is Connecticut's very first vegan fast-food restaurant that is 100% plant-based. As mentioned in my second post, the owners of G-Monkey used to own G-Zen in Branford. This is their new restaurant that they opened. Now, they are redefining what the world views as "fast food." Fast food for G-Monkey is the perfect balance of good and speed. Follow G-Monkey on Facebook and Instagram here: @GMONKEYFASTFOOD.

2. Flora

Location: 45 Raymond Rd 2nd floor, West Hartford, CT 06107

Flora is a full service restaurant and bar with a juice bar and plant-based menu, which provides a one of a kind opportunity for food choices in a balanced healthy living diet.

In order to stay with what is seasonally available and to keep passion and interest in what they offer, the menu will change frequently. Follow Flora on social media here: @floraweha.

3. Divine Treasures

Location: 404 Middle Turnpike W, Manchester, CT 06040

Divine Treasures first opened in 2007. Since they opened, they have been committed to delivering a high-quality chocolate experience without ignoring social responsibility or sacrificing health. They use organic and local ingredients whenever possible and make all of their recipes on the premise. Each treat is crafted to the standard of chef and owner Diane Wagemann, who combines her European training in chocolate-making with her childhood passion for the art of making it. After studying among chefs across Switzerland and Belgium, she brought her knowledge back to the United States, modifying her skills to fit her own vegan and gluten-free lifestyle. At Divine Treasures, the traditional and modern unite to create a unique chocolate experience.

Divine Treasures believes no one should forfeit their health in order to enjoy a treat. Their facility is dedicated to gluten-free, and their products are also vegan, so they are made without egg, dairy, cholesterol, trans-fats, or any other unwanted elements found in animal products. They believe in plant-based chocolates so tasty they surpass their non-vegan counterparts to satisfy everyone. They aim for the perfect touch of sweetness without resorting to the amounts of processed sugar that are found in typical sweets, relaying on careful amounts of organic brown rice syrup, organic cane sugar, and low-glycemic coconut sugar.

Divine Treasures uses eco-friendly packaging, and European-processed chocolate that comes from reliable, Fair-Trade certified companies whose business operations they trust. It's important to Divine Treasures that they run their business in a way that their customers can trust also, so that each piece of chocolate can be fully enjoyed by mind, body, and spirit.

4. Virgin Cheese

Location: 915 Main St, Clarkdale, Arizona 86324

Virgin Cheese makes vegan, artisanal cheeses of the highest order made from pure plant power. Decadent, traditionally cultured, cashew milk-based cheese that contains no GMOs, soy, gluten, lactose, dairy, or animal products, and unlike dairy cheese, is completely cholesterol-free. Artisanal cheeses refer to cheeses made by hand using the traditional craftsmanship of skilled cheese makers. As a result, the cheeses are often more complex in variety and taste. Many of them are ripened and aged to achieve certain aesthetics. This contrasts with the mild flavors of mass-produced cheeses made in large scale operations, which are often shipped and sold right away. Virgin Cheese specializes in cheeses worthy of fine wine, and they are purveyors of the ultimate gift baskets and picnic. Jodi Paige is the Chief Cheese Officer and Anthony Guitron is the General Manager. Follow Virgin Cheese on Instagram here virgincheese and Facebook Virgin Cheese - Organic Vegan Artisan.

5. VegeNation

Their menu is 100% plant-based and they work with local businesses to source their booze, beer, tea, coffee, artisan cheese, seasonal herbs, and art. VegeNation is always looking to cook with vegetables grown locally by working with community gardens, school garden programs, and freight farms.

Vegetarian Chicken Healthy For You?

The healthfulness of vegetarian "chicken" products depends on the ingredients used and how they are processed. Some Veg Chicken products can be high in protein and fiber, and a good source of vitamins and minerals. However, they may also contain added ingredients such as salt, sugar, and unhealthy oils that can negatively impact their healthfulness. It's important to carefully read the label and consider the nutritional information before incorporating these products into your diet.

Vegetarian chicken products are made from a variety of plant-based ingredients, including soy, wheat gluten, peas, and other legumes. These products are designed to mimic the texture and taste of chicken, making them a popular alternative for people following a vegetarian or vegan diet. While these products can be a good source of protein, fiber, and other nutrients, it's important to understand that not all vegetarian chicken products are created equal, and their healthfulness can vary greatly depending on the specific ingredients and processing methods used.

One of the main benefits of Veg Chicken products is that they can provide a high source of plant-based protein. This is important for those who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, as it can be challenging to meet daily protein requirements without consuming animal products. However, it's important to note that not all vegetarian chicken products are equal in terms of protein content, and some may contain less protein than others.

Another benefit of vegetarian chicken products is that they can be a good source of fiber. Fiber is important for digestive health, as it helps to regulate bowel movements and maintain a healthy gut microbiome. Vegetarian chicken products made from whole grain or legume ingredients can be especially high in fiber.

In addition, vegetarian chicken products can be a good source of essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, and B vitamins. However, it's important to note that the specific vitamins and minerals present in these products will depend on the specific ingredients used. For example, soy-based products may be high in iron, while wheat gluten-based products may be high in B vitamins.

It's also important to consider any added ingredients or processing methods when evaluating the healthfulness of vegetarian chicken products. Some products may contain high levels of salt, sugar, or unhealthy fats, which can negatively impact their nutritional value. Additionally, some vegetarian chicken products may be highly processed, meaning they have lost some of their natural nutrients in the manufacturing process.

In conclusion, vegetarian chicken products can be a good source of protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet. However, it's important to carefully read the label and consider the specific ingredients and processing methods used when evaluating their healthfulness. Some vegetarian chicken products may contain added ingredients or be highly processed, which can negatively impact their nutritional value. It's important to choose products made with whole, minimally processed ingredients for the best health outcomes.

Phở

regebben kulonosebben nem rajongtam a pho-ert, ha vietnami etterembe mentunk en inkabb mindig valami mast rendeltem, de nem olyan reg vettunk egy csomo zacskos pho-t, ami viszont bitang jo volt egy zacskos leveshez kepest (az arahoz meg plane), ugyhogy azt beszeltuk zsuzsoval, hogy akar csinalhatnak is, mert amugy o viszont mindig is szerette, nekem ugy latszik csak ernem kellett hozza.

szoval jo szokasom szerint megint elolvastam es megneztem egy rahedli receptet, gyorsan ra is jottem, hogy nem tradicionalisat csinalok eloszor, leven az tobb ora fozes es a szempontom most is az volt, hogy ha nem is olyan gyorsan mint a kedvenc ramenunket, de azert viszonylag elfogadhato idon belul legyen az asztalon egy tanyer leves. nyilvan ez aldozatokkal jar, de ha nem ragaszkodsz egy erdeti vietnami etteremben keszult, hosszu orakon at fozott pho broth-hoz, akkor ez a recept nekem eppen megteszi, egy oran belul megvan, gazdag, izletes, zamatos.

igazabol az alapleven kivul minden olyan mintha tradicionalisan keszitenenk, szoval ha akarod es van idod, marha veloscsontod, marha szugyed es nyakad akkor fozd egy par oran keresztul es helyettesitsd be a leveskockat.

mielott belekezdesz, szukseged lesz par dologra:

komuves ujjnyi gyomber, hosszaban szeletelve 3 zoldhagyma, 2 az alaplebe, 1 talalashoz 1 voroshagyma, felbevagva, hejastul

3 csillaganizs 3 szegfuszeg 1 fahej rud 1 tk koriander mag opcionalisan: 1 fekete kardamom mag (ezt miota lattam az indiai boltban, ki akartam probalni valamihez, ha van ra lehetoseged szagolj meg egyet, egyszeruen zsenialis az illata, fustos, foldes, bor szaga van, gyozkodtem zsuzsot, hogy valahogy csinaljon belole majd kenyeret) 1 tk edeskomeny mag 1 tk szemes fekete bors

2 liter viz

marha leveskocka (annyi amennyi a vizhez kell)

3 ek halszosz (itt a red boat fish sauce-ra eskusznek, de abbol 10 dodo egy uveggel, szoval en se azt vettem) ha szereted lehet tobb is.

rizsteszta babcsira marhahus talalashoz:thai bazsalikom koriander zold thai chili lime szeletek

hoisin szosz/sriracha vagy mindketto

ne ijedj meg ezeknek a nagy resze nem esszencialis ha epp nem talalsz, a vietnami szomszed nem fog megkergetni ha kihagysz ezt-azt.

fuszerek: ami nelkul nincs pho az a koriander mag, csillaganizs, szegfuszeg, fahej. ezek nelkul nem lesz olyan mint egy igazi pho. en meg tettem bele fekete borsot, edeskomeny magot es fekete kardamom magot is, de ezek teljesen opcionalisak ha epp nincsenek keznel. tegyel mindent egy serpenyobe es piritsd meg oket amig illatozni kezdenek. par perc az egesz.

hagyma, gyomber es zoldhagyma. egy ontottvas serpenyoben vagy simaban, de akar kozvetlenul a gazrozsan alaposan piritsd meg a hagymat es a gyombert. legyen szenes. a hagymat csak felbe vagom a hejat rajtahagyom, mert nagyon szep szine lesz tole a levesnek. a gyombert csak csikokra vagom, nem kell meghamozni. a zoldhagymat csak felvagom, ezt nem kel megpiritani.

tegyel fel foni 2 liter vizet. en levagtam a marharol a zsirt es bedobtam a vizbe, foztem addig amig a zoldsegek es a fuszerek el nem keszultek.

aztan ment bele minden, fuszerek, hagyma, zoldhagyma, gyomber, 3 evokanal halszosz, a leveskockak, 1 evokanal cukor, 1 teaskanal so. vannak akik sot nem tesznek bele hanem addig adagoljak a halszoszt amig eleg sos nem lesz, ennyire burzsujok azert nem vagyunk, azert a halszosz nem olcso :) az autentikus megoldas a cukorra a rock sugar, de ilyet meg nem is lattam, szoval maradt ami van otthon. fozd egy 20-30 percet, kostold meg es adj hozza meg halszoszt vagy cukrot/sot ha akarsz. erdetileg en 4 szegfuszeget tettem bele, de eppenhogy csak egy kicsit, tul szegfuszeges lett, ezert irtam a hozzavalokhoz csak harmat. de alapvetoen ha neked jobban izlik mashogy csak adj hozza tobbet/kevesebbet barmibol. ha gondolod a vegen potold a vizet ami elfott.

altalaban a ramenhez 350 ml-vel szamolunk egy adagra, de az joval laktatobb, itt szamolhattok 4-500 ml-vel adagonkent. szurd le es maris kesz a pho alapleved. tedd vissza a tuzre es forrald fel.

gyakorlatilag ha teszel bele fott rizstesztat ez mar egy pho-nek minosul, de ha van ra lehetoseged es kapsz hozza mindent erdemes azert ennel magasabb szintre emelni a levest.

mikor mar majdnem kesz az alaple melegits vizet, ha forr dobj bele annyi babcsirat amit epp megennetek, blansirozd egy percig, majd szedd ki. mehet ugyanabba a vizbe a rizsteszta (vannak olyanok amiket csak aztatni kell, vagy aztatni kell fozes elott, nezd meg a csomagolast neked eppen milyen van) ha megfott mehet egybol a tanyerba a csirakkal egyutt.

en a marhahust vekonyra felszeltem es nyersen tettem a tanyerba majd a tuzforro leves ahogy raszedtem pont megfozte annyira hogy tokeletes legyen, de ha te jobban szereted jobban atfove csak dobd bele az alaplebe es fozd par percig.

aztan mehetnek a feltetek ha szeretned es kapsz, thai bazsalikom (a sima nem jo, a thainak anizsosabb ize van), koriander zold, thai chili ha szereted csiposen, finomra vagott zoldhagyma es egy gerezd lime rafacsarva a levesre.

sokan ugy eszik, hogy tesznek kis tanyerba hoisin szoszt es/vagy srirachat es a levesbol kihalaszott marhadarabokat abba tunkoljak mielott megennek. ez mar tenyleg csak izles kerdese, nekem is feluton jutott eszembe mert annyira belefeledkeztunk az evesbe.

de ha valakinek meg ez is tul sok ido lenne elkesziteni egy levest, vettem egy ilyet az azsiai boltban amirol azt hittem, hogy olyan mint a leveskocka:

de mint kiderult vannak benne fuszer tasakok is, szoval gyakorlatilag benne van minden ami ahhoz kell, hogy csinalj egy pho alaplevet, par heten belul kiprobaljuk azt is aztan ha erdekel valakit beszamolok rola.

jo etvagyat!
