Good morning beautiful people ?? so yesterday my family and I took a quick little road trip to southern California. The highlight of our day was eating at the lovely Sage restaurant I’m Pasadena!
Breakfast:
We started our road trip at Carls Jr and had the Beyond meat sausage biscuit from I’m not exactly sure why I didn’t check to see if this biscuit was vegan before eating it I’ll just blame it on the lack of sleep! This biscuit is NOT vegan! In the future if I stop at Carls Jr to enjoy their Beyond meat breakfast, adding the sausage and potatoes to a tortilla would make the meal vegan friendly. Although the biscuit is not vegan the sandwich was pretty tasty for fast food!
Lunch:
For lunch we stopped at Daphne’s and enjoyed some fries, chickpea falafel, pita, hummus and a tomato cucumber salad. I was extremely disappointed in their salad but everything else was very good! The reason the salad was not good is because it was aged and wilted. I’m so used to eating fresh crispy vegetables, this salad did nothing for me. I forced myself to eat it because that was they only “fresh” vegetable I had all day. If I were to go to this restaurant again, I would ask to taste the salad before ordering to make sure it was fresh!
Dinner:
On the way home, we stopped at the lovely Sage Cafe and it was AMAZING!!!! This plant based restaurant has amazing ambiance friendly staff and delicious food! We had the cauliflower wing platter, mac and cheese (not pictured), pasta with red sauce (not pictured), tortilla soup not pictures, Street taco platter and fried artichoke hearts. I got to try a little bit of everything and it was all so good! The only thing we didn’t like was the Mac and cheese! It tasted a little too much like nutritional yeast for my liking! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever in the Pasadena area!
Snacks:
- Banana
- Nugo protein bar
- Apple
- Almonds
- Sesame crackers
Thank you so much for stopping by I’ll see you tomorrow!
