Beatlemania - The Beatles, 50 Years Later
The Beatles arrived in the United States 50 years ago today, on February 7, 1964. They were greeted with fever-pitch excitement by fans, concerts throughout the United States, and several appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. I was a toddler when they first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. I understand that I stood up and put my hands on my ears because I was scared of all the screaming in the audience. That changed quickly, and I became one of their youngest (and most fervent) fans. How about you - do you remember the Beatles from the 1960's? I would love to hear your Beatles thoughts and memories in the comments, below.
Friday Faves: The Food Edition
Happy Friday, y'all! Hope you've had a great week.
My faves this week are all food related, probably because it is winter and I'm in the mood to cook.
My first fave is Silk Pure Coconut Coconutmilk. I bought the original (unflavored), and it is so delicious! It is dairy free, gluten free, and has 50% more calcium than dairy milk. I love this on cereal, and can't wait to try it in smoothies as well.
I also love Boca Original Vegan Burgers. I've been vegetarian for years, and have lately been trying to make the vegan choice when possible. I just started buying the Boca Vegan Burgers instead of the traditional Flame Grilled (vegetarian). At first bite I wasn't sure about the burgers; they taste simpler, but I have gotten used to the taste and actually crave them now.
I have a restaurant to recommend, too. The Local No. 7 is located on Main Street in Tucker, Georgia (a small town outside Atlanta). The restaurant is a cozy pub, and they have a terrific menu! They have several vegetarian and vegan options. I had a veggie wrap (spinach tortilla, hummus, veggies, vinaigrette) and homemade fries. They also have a bar, with team trivia a couple of nights a week. Fun! I will definitely go back.
How about you -- do you have any great vegetarian or vegan food products to recommend? I would love to hear from you in the comments section, below.
