New Leaf
New Leaf is a new, local grocery store right by my in-laws. It’s very similar to Whole Foods. (Although I think better in my first experience there…at least for a vegan.) Don’t get me wrong, I love Whole Foods, I mean that’s all I have in Texas. New Leaf was a wonderful mecca of vegan delights though. They carried brands I’ve only read about before like Nana’s cookies, and they had an amazing ready-made foods section, that included a sandwich bar. This is a picture of Eric’s sandwich actually, as I devoured mine before taking a pic. Mine was the same except with multi-grain bread. He loves sourdough. On it was a Sunshine burger, avocado, pickles, mustard, lettuce, tomato, red onions, and sprouts. I told Granny she should go there every day for lunch to get a sandwich! It was only $5.50 too, which I thought was an excellent price for that caliber of a sandwich.
Later this day, we were on our way back to Texas. At New Leaf, I picked up a couple of things to eat on the plane. This was a tasty egg-salad like wrap. It is made by Sweet Earth. Eric thought he would be cute and pretend a little hand monster was eating it I guess. ha
