Last night, I met one of my best friends Jillian for dinner at Blossom, a vegan restaurant in Chelsea.
I’d been there once before with Marina in May and had a great experience, so I was excited to try it again!
We decided to start by sharing the raw sweet potato rolls.
Stuffed with shredded coconut, jicama, carrot, red and yellow peppers, scallions, and avocado, with an almond ginger dipping sauce.
It was a great choice for an appetizer- light, fresh and flavorful!
For my entrée, I selected the phyllo roulade.
French lentils and root vegetables baked in a phyllo crust, served over a carrot-cream sauce. Caramelized onions and swiss chard complement.
This had a slight curry taste to it, which made it an instant hit with me. The swiss chard was actually my favorite part, though!
Jillian got the lasagna, which she loved. She couldn’t believe how good the tapioca cheese was!
A vegan taste of a classic: stuffed with tapioca cheese, ground seitan, and roasted eggplant, over marinara and sautéed broccoli rabe.
Though I was already full from my meal, I couldn’t pass up dessert !
Chocolate ganache.
Oh my goodness. This tasted like an ooey-gooey cross between chocolate frostin and fudge. To live for.
It was served with a scoop of vanilla soy ice cream, which I barely touched. Why would I want to, when I had all that chocolate?!

Yesterday’s afternoon snack was also quite newsworthy:
Gracie has been popularizing frozen nut butter lately, but when I went to make some yesterday, I realized I didn’t have any saran wrap.
Enter: the nut butter shot glass.
Filled with a few spoonfuls of Justin’s chocolate hazelnut butter, this felt pretty darn decadent, if you ask me J
Well loves, I’m off to the gym. Happy hump day!
