Vegan at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport

I recently stopped in Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport as I was catching my next Delta flight to Washington, DC. I should point out this was dinnertime and with an already delayed flight, I was dreading my next meal. I went to a nearby bakery looking for bananas or something that I could munch on for dinner. I was quickly in disbelief as I discovered this unimposing bakery with several clearly marked vegan items in their menu.

A Must Have Vegan Summer Wine

Fascination is a clear pale golden wine. The wine has a moderate aroma with hints of grass, green pepper, lemon, grapefruit, apricot, and light scent of vanilla flower. In addition, the wine is semi-dry, with a medium body, and tart acidity. There is a low presence of soft tannins. Fascination is a fair balanced wine with moderate flavors of pear, honeysuckle, with a slight buttery finish lasting about five seconds.

Vegan at a local Farmer’s Market

Earlier this morning I visited our local farmer’s market, the Wellness Connection Farmer’s Market, which is located at the Gum’s Spring Library parking lot. Since this a vegan blog, I went on a mission looking for vegan friendly products. As this is a small farmer’s market, I managed to find four vendors offering vegan friendly products.

Vegan Hors d’oeuvre with Polenta and Tostones

This is a perfect vegan hors d’oeuvre for when you have guests. The recipe uses fried plantains (tostones), tofu, avocado, black beans and polenta. The recipe should take about 20 minutes to prepare and about 10 minutes to cook. The recipe was inspired from a recipe submitted by angloesque via allrecipes.

Wine pairing: If you plan to pair this recipe with wine, please omit the garlic from this hors d’oeuvre, as it will take away from the wine experience. I recommend a white wine, such as a dry Riesling, a white Zinfandel, a Gewurztraminer or a Virginia Viognier. Like I said, stay away from the garlic on this one!

Not all wines are vegan friendly?

While wine is made from fermented grapes or other fruits, some wines are not vegan because of the clarification and stabilization process, specifically the fining agents used in the process.
