Out and about in D-town
We met some friends at Urban Taco this weekend. I got two homemade corn tortilla tacos with veggies and spices, a side of refried black beans, and a wee plate with lettuce, tomatoes, and guacamole on it. Perfect Friday night dinner, after a long work week!
This was my stir-fry I created at Genghis Grill. Nothing really exciting. Sorry for the blurred picture. I LOVE the chili garlic sauce they have there though to toss your veggies with. My concoction was mainly made up of broccoli, carrots, and tofu.
Out to Eat
Friday night we headed to Urban Taco in Mockingbird Station. This is Eric’s FAV place. It really is great food and a great atmosphere. I had been kind of limited in the past, usually just opting for one of their salads, which are super. However, this time the owner came by our table and had a wee chat with us. Eric mentioned I was vegan, and the owner told us they just created a couple of dishes for vegans (seeing the need in the area). The first plate he brought me was what he called a vegan set-up. It had three homemade corn tortillas (in the foil), guacamole, bean corn salsa, and pico de gallo. The second plate had two pre-made corn tortilla tacos. One had potatoes, corn, onions, and zucchini in it. The other had potatoes and peppers. They were both delicious and spicy. I loved it!! I told Eric he can take me to Urban Taco any time! If you’re vegan (or not) in Dallas, I would rush right on over to Urban Taco. You won’t be disappointed.
Saturday night we headed over to Spiral Diner. I was dying to try their new blue plate special of meatloaf and macaroni. It was suprisingly a disappointment. The macaroni was not good at all in my opinion. I had a few bites and didn’t finish it. Which is rare for me at Spiral…I finish everything there. Eric said it had a little bit of a funky taste, but he ended up not minding it that much. I had the meatloaf plate with hot red ketchup, macaroni, and green beans. Eric had the meatloaf sandwich with a side of mac-n-cheese. The meatloaf was pretty good. This has put me on a macaroni and cheese mission now. My craving has not been satisfied! I’ve made it a couple of times at home and have yet to find a recipe worth repeating. I’m giving Vegan Dad’s recipe a try this week. I have a feeling this is going to be THE ONE. He has loads of positive feedback on it. Let’s hope!

Dessert at Spiral was lovely. It was especially enjoyable with their freshly brewed coffee and soy creamer. Eric got peach pie, and I had blueberry (warmed up). LIFE IS GOOD!
