...What I Ate Traveling in Texas...as a Vegan...

...breakfasts were mostly at home (AirBnB Home)...and mostly the same...
...so glad I had the foresight to pack some Kala Namak (black sulphur-y salt)...it makes perfect tofu eggs...
...and we found this new to us vegan bacon...at H.E.B.
...and it was really delicious...
...so this is breakfast one day...
...and this is another...pretty much the same...
...we bought some delicious BIG peaches for snacking...
...there was no teapot in the rental house...so I just put a plate on top of a cup to steep the tea...
...Our Airman wanted to go back to Pancake Joes for breakfast one day...so of course we did and I got my 'omelette' hash...I just ask for the veggie omelette with no eggs...subbing potatoes...no butter and no cheese...obv...
...and it comes with toast...so I satisfy my 'pancake' craving simply by slathering the toast with pancake syrup...
...one of our lunches out...broccoli and a baked potato with BBQ sauce...it hit the spot...
...another day we went back downtown to the Riverwalk...
...past La Antorcha de la Amistad...the Torch of Friendship...remember it was being repainted when we were here before...so it's really pretty now with it's fresh coat of paint...
...we went back to the same Mexican Restaurant on the river...and they had a Mariachi band...
...and they played a song for Our Airman...so much fun!
...we had chips and salsa...of course...
...and I had the same BIG and delicious taco salad as before...
...another day we went to Mina and Dimi's Greek restaurant...which one of Our Airman's classmates had recommended to us...
...I had a hummus and veggie pita...and that was delicious as well...
...and then of course...Our Airman wanted to go back to WhatABurger...I had a veggie sandwich with avocado...it was yummy...and they are so friendly...
...and we went back to Schilo's...and had breakfast...I got a bean taco with no cheese...a small bowl of grits and dry wheat toast...
...which I made the most of by splitting it up...so I could have marmalade...blackberry jam...and syrup...
...I made a lot of tea...and I loved these big owl mugs...
...we cooked burgers on the grill one night...and had corn on the cob on the side...
...Our Airman wanted to try Big Red...it must be a Texas thing as I'd never heard of it...it tastes sort of like bubble gum...and there's a Blue variety as well...
...and a big pan of tater tots...
...and that was an easy fun and delicious meal...
...the last time we were here...we tried the Nada Moo N'ice cream...
...this is the Rockiest Road version...so yummy...

...what do you eat when traveling?...

~Have a lovely day!

  1. This himalayan black salt is awesome! I use it everywhere!
    I'd love to find this vegan bacon here... the one I find tastes too much like real one ... I don't like them! Maybe this one...
    Seems you managed very well to find vegan nice meals!
    Is your airman coming back? Hope he does!

  2. Yum, that all looks good! Loved the little song they played at the Mexican restaurant.

  3. I've never tried the black salt only the pink one which I prefer to white sea salt. The vegan bacon looks delish and all your restaurant pics look like they serve delicious food. I don't do well eating when travelling unless I am in an Air BnB. I eat too much fast food.
