Denver vegans have a reason to celebrate! Denver will have the first ever Veg Fest & Health Expo on April 12th. This festival is meant to bring people with common veg values together and celebrate a healthy, environmentally responsible lifestyle. There will be food tasting, and it's only $10 a ticket. I am really excited to go and check out all the different vendors and speakers, and I'll definitely be reporting back to the blog with pictures.
Speaking of pictures, to your left you will see the result of my first craving for pizza since going vegan. City O' City serves pizzas with cheese, vegan mozzarella or cashew ricotta. We chose the cashew ricotta, and wow. I have to say I did not miss the cheese at all. I am really beginning to think I may have made the switch to vegan for good. It is really limiting my ability to eat on the fly, but in my case that's exactly what I need right now. I'm losing weight because I'm planning my food better and I'm forced to look at healthier comfort foods.
Speaking of comfort foods, our pizza was followed by an incredibly delicious vegan mint ho-ho cupcake. Mint and chocolate is my all time favorite flavor combination so this was a real treat. I am really looking forward to checking out more great vegan foods at Veg Fest. Of course, I forgot to pick up my tickets last night (they're at Watercourse or City O' City) so I guess I'll have to go back sometime in the next few days. Which is maybe something I was planning subconsciously anyway!

YEEHOO!
We are so excited about the upcoming Fest. It will be the perfect opportunity for anyone even slightly interested in veganism or vegetarianism to learn so much. We have some of the best speakers from around the country coming and food tasting that will appeal to anyone's taste buds. All in a beautiful setting at Denver's newest hotel, The Ritz-Carlton.
See you there!
