Hey Pickles!

We have a recipe for you from our Vegan Cookbook Challenge. This week we made a recipe from Isa Chandra Moskowitz' new book, "I Can Cook Vegan".

What a great book this is. It's perfect for new vegans, the vegan curious, and anyone who's looking for fun, weeknight recipes to make. It would also make a great gift for anyone that is looking to learn more about vegan cooking!

We saddled up the old Hyundai once again, and headed to Batavia and Rochester NY!

We had lunch at the adorable Eden Cafe & Bake Shop in Batavia. They're located at 242 Ellicott St, Batavia, NY.

What a cute and calming space they’ve created. Its a cute corner shop with lots of natural light coming from the front windows. With comfy bench seats lined with colorful pillows, plants in the windows, and a nice cozy color scheme of pink & sage green.

They are an all vegan establishment, and the food was fantastic!

We then had plans to see a couple shows in Rochester. The first of which was a modern dance performance that was part of the Rochester Fringe Festival , called Commotion Dance Theater. One of the dancers was a former student of Sam's, and we were thrilled that we were able to attend!

Before the second show that we were going to see, we had dinner at The Red Fern.

They are located at 283 Oxford Street, Rochester, NY.  With it’s inviting little red door, you step down into the place & come face to face with their awesome looking bakery case!

We throughly enjoyed our meal there, and we will definitely be back! As expected we grabbed a couple baked goods to take home with us. We got a lemon raspberry blondie & a chocolate peanut butter rice crispy treat!

We then made our way to the Kodak Center to see Randy Rainbow Live - The Pink Glasses Tour! What a fun show! If you love musical theater, and political satire, you will love Randy Rainbow. Check out his You Tube channel!

Thanks so much for listening! Enjoy the Show!
