I just celebrated my birthday yesterday. Went to the gym, did some homework and celebrated a colleague going away.
I made mini blue velvet cupcakes for the party. I found a box cake mix that was totally vegan-friendly and so is the icing (yay!). It also gave me the opportunity to use the egg replacer that I bought a while back. I don’t think anyone could tell the difference. I will say that the cupcakes took much longer to cook and that may have been because of that.
The original plan was to eat sushi, but apparently they didn’t have rice and weren’t willing to buy anymore that night. Sure enough I was peeved. So we walked to another restaurant.
Pretzel bread with beer cheese. Yup. I ate cheese.
I also had a gyro with black bean hummus, roasted bell peppers, mushrooms and avocado. There was more beer cheese in there. As for drink, there was a coffee chocolate beer. It tasted very much like the name suggests. The coffee and the chocolate are from a local seller.
For dessert, I had the oatmeal raspberry bar which I thought was going to be a an actual bar but it was more like a crumble. It was super sweet, thankfully the beer made it a little bearable.
My birthday was very low key but I enjoyed it. I made mostly good food choices even though it wasn’t completely vegan, but I won’t beat myself up about it.
