Valentines Dinner at McFosters!

*Casie Here*

Before we headed out to Kansas City for the weekend, we stopped real quick for dinner at McFosters Natural Kind Cafe. See their website HERE. Check out their menu HERE. It is pretty much Omaha's only truly Vegan/Vegetarian restaurant. We love it, it's always our go-to restaurant. 

 We've always wanted to try the 'Date Shake' and what better night than Valentines Day!! Pretty much just tasted like a chocolate malt with tiny date pieces in it.

  We had their Roasted Creamy Tomato soup. It had a hint of smokey flavor and was very thick and creamy. We thought it would be even better in the summer when the tomatoes are at their peak. The croutons are whole wheat seasoned toast that they make with sun-dried tomato infused olive oil and they are not too crunchy, but a little soft in the middle just like I like them! Very flavorful and a perfect addition to the soup!

  The Mo'Rockin' Salad. Yum, yum, yum! Their hummus is great (but not as great as mine! hee hee hee ; ) Also, the falafel croquettes (if I'm being completely honest) weren't as good as Amsterdam Falafel & Kabob (see their website HERE), but that's what they specialize in so they are going to be the best! 

These were a little too done (too crunchy pretty much the whole way through) and on the small side. Amsterdam's are big and 'meaty' and hearty with just the outer edge crisp. Check out my birthday dinner post HERE from this year when we went there and about half-way down I have a picture of their falafel croquettes. To. DIE. for. You gotta go try them to know what I'm talking about.

I got the Sesame Tahini dressing with my salad. It is very, VERY good and goes perfectly with this particular salad. Honestly, all their homemade salad dressings are fabulous! I would definitely get this salad again.

  Vernon got his favorite Health Nut Salad with Miso dressing. Again, always a favorite for us.

  Vernon got the Portabella Mushroom Dinner. He said it was good, but not fabulous, just kind of basic.

I had the Organic Tempeh Artichoke Mornay. I really liked it. Good flavors, just enough sauce and I like how it was cut up small, it's a thing with me! Their roasted brussel sprouts are excellent. So soft and seasoned beautifully. They are known for their brussel sprouts. You have to try them if you go there, even if you think you don't like brussel sprouts you won't be disappointed! We had a fun Valentines dinner.
