WIAW - Australian Vegetarian

I've been back in the states since Sunday night, however I have two more Oz themed posts before I wrap up my global travel.  Hope ya don't mind!

Today's I'm talking vegetarian eats on What I Ate Wednesday!



I guess I'm a picky eater. I'll eat almost any fruit or vegetable, but I am rather picky when it comes to my meats.  I like chicken breast and fish.  And I don't like them fried. When I was dining out in Australia I found myself picking the vegetarian option quite often.

I am totally on board with more vegetarian eating and I try to implement it here with Kyle too.  We struggle. But that's another post.

Here's a look of some of my fave Aussie vegetarian eats.
There's an upscale, trendy part of Syndey called Surry Hills where I dined at an all vegetarian cafe called Ulli's.

I was with a co-worker and his daughter so we shared three dishes.  Falafel, goat cheese polenta sticks, and salt & pepper tofu.

I really didn't think I would like the tofu. OH ME GEEEEE I loved it! It was served with a thai peanut slaw.  The outside was crunchy and the inside creamy.  I would love to know where I can get tofu like that in Orlando.

Pumpkin is eaten as a vegetable in Australia and I was determined to eat as much as possible.  After several days of Thai pumpkin soup, I had this overflowing beet, feta, and pumpkin salad.

I have a permanent remembrance of this salad on a white shirt of mine.  Note to self - beets are messy.

I also spent some time with an old standby - quinoa.

Oh and then I had this salted caramel cupcake.  Totally vegetarian.

What's your favorite vegetarian eat? Share a recipe if ya like!

Love and soy beans,

Carissa & Kyle
