This past week I was sent to Houston to present at a conference (as requested by my boss). It was kinda a big deal because it was to 500 people and through a big foundation that funds mental health programs. It went well!
This trip was my first travel being veg. I made sure to take some snacks with me just in case. Because of limited time we ended up eating at the airport and hotel, neither of which had great options since for me I am limiting dairy as well. I did manage to get a pesto pasta with veggies that was good and another restaurant I had potatoes and green beans (which ended up being really good!). Few options, but it all worked out well. I also managed to navigate the ordering pizza with my hubby last night by getting bread sticks and marinara sauce. And that was OK with me!
I am finding the people around me seem to worry more about this than me. I have the mindset that because this is something I want to continue, each experience is just a lesson. Green beans may not seem like a great meal to others, but I enjoyed them and the company I was in. It was one meal in the rest of my life that can be enjoyed for what it is....even without meat and dairy :) Sure, dining at a place with more veg options would be great, but not every place I go will be that and I didn't feel upset about it!
I visited another new store (new for me) and was able to buy nutritional yeast. I've been seeing some interesting recipes to try with it so I am excited to have found it! I'm going to venture into the "faux cheese" world. I will post how it turns out!
