New Vegan At Universal Studios CA Instagram Account & Blog/First Universal Studios Hollywood Vegan Meal Highlighted

As a vegan since 2009, I recently noticed that although there are several Instagram accounts highlighting vegan food at Disneyland, there's no account (that I could find) focusing on Universal Studios in California. Having said this, I've created a new Instagram account called "veganatuniversalstudiosca" with the goal to discover & highlight vegan food options at Universal Studios Hollywood & Universal Studios CityWalk. Here's the logo for the new Instagram account.

In addition to the Instagram account, I've also created a new blog  which can be found at www.veganatuniversalstudiosca.blogspot.com.

Below is the first vegan item highlighted on my new Instagram page which is the asparagus platter from the Three Broomsticks Restaurant inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. For $16, you receive seared asparagus with mashed potatoes (swap for roasted potatoes,) cabbage, and minted peas garnished with a roasted plum tomato. This was cooked very well and looks better than described online.

I'm excited about discovering & highlighting vegan options at Universal Studios Hollywood as well as Universal Studios CityWalk and hope that this account will lead more vegans visiting the theme park as well as the culinary staff making more vegan options. As I add more photos to the Instagram account, I plan to update them to this blog as well so subscribe to read about all the vegan food options I discover!

 

Celebrating Our 15th Wedding Anniversary (with Less COVID Restrictions)

 On June 26, marked me and my hubby celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary. It's hard to believe that we've been married for fifteen years and together as a couple for 23 years! Here's a collage of photos from various times in our relationship. 

Since we're both practical people, the anniversary gifts we exchanged were items we could used or items we could both enjoy together. Having said this, I received a new vegan wallet made of wax leather and hubby received an Amazon fire stick.

To celebrate our anniversary, we decided to keep things simple and treated ourselves to seeing the new Fast & Furious 9 aka F9 in an actual movie theater. It was great going to a movie theater in person again and the new COVID-19 rules in place are that in you're fully vaccinated (which we both are) you don't have to wear masks inside most buildings anymore. After watching the movie, we went to cinnaholic for a vegan cinnamon roll and vegan banana bread. 

After seeing the movie and enjoying desserts from Cinnaholic, we ended our anniversary day by completing a tropical painting provided by my job for our adult summer reading club. Here are photos of the blank canvas followed by the completed painting by me and hubby. 

Overall, our anniversary was a great day and a wonderful celebration of our life as a couple.
