Veggies to go

This weekend will be a big test to my veggie breakfast eating habit I've cultivated over the past few weeks as I will spend it out of town. Traveling with dietary restrictions is difficult at best, next to impossible at worst, as I've learned over the years of vegetarianism and almost-year of gluten-free eating. Being away from home makes me nervous -- I don't know exactly what I am getting in all my food, and sometimes good food is hard to come by.

Fortunately, it seems like Houston is rather gluten-free friendly, at least for the south. Look at all the places that offer gluten-free fare! I'm really excited to try out as many as possible in my short stay and on my limited budget.

Now, on to my next challenge: vegetables for breakfast. I'm bringing along a can of soup just in case veggies in the am proves to be harder to find than I'm anticipating. Fortunately, I found this place called "Island Grill" that offers juices, including vegetable juices. I figure a nice healthy serving of Emerald Isle Cooler or The Green Wave should get my day off to a vitamin-packed start.

There's also a couple of tea houses I really want to check out: House of Tea and Organic Tea House on top of several museums, exhibits, and maybe even a little shopping. I'm impressed already, Houston, and I'm not even there yet. Here's to a good, veggie-filled weekend away.
