Sadie's Diner

The other week Chris and I went to Sadie's Diner for lunch. Chris had a burger in a wrap since they ran out of buns hehe, and I had a BLT. Both are vegan and made us soo happy that we have an other place around work that we can enjoy lunch. Find any fun food places that you really enjoy?

Also Veggielicious is coming up! If your in Toronto and want to try out some good veg food, try it out. :) Dates are Nov. 14th-30th

Here are photos in order of the fair.

Pickled Beets and Cinnamon Buns

Ingredients:

3 pounds fresh small whole beets
2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 cups water
1 cups sugar
4 garlic cloves, sliced in half

So my mom gave me a big bag of beets. So I thought why not make borscht, but I knew I would still have some left over. So I made pickled Beets!

Clean and cut the beets, in a big pot over high heat cover and cook for 25 to 30 min. Once its cool enough peel the beets with a veggie peeler. Then cut the beets.
To make the brine: In a pot over medium-high heat add in all the ingredients (not the beets) :P Stir until the sugar has melted. Reduce Heat and like the brine simmer for 5 min. Remove frome Heat and let Brine Cool before adding them to the beets.
Add the sliced beets in a jar and fill up with the brine. I heat the lids to seal a little better in water. Then put the jar in the frig for at least a week. Beets will last for 2-3 months!
Enjoy.

I also made Cinnamon Buns from Chloe's Vegan Italian Kitchen cook book
I really enjoyed the buns soo yummy, but you need a full day to work on these really. (letting the bread rise)
I also wish her cookbook would have how long things would take in it.
