May 31 Redcrest Fried Chicken

I have several friends that had been to Redcrest and raved about it. I didn’t realize that they had a pretty extensive vegan selection which was confusingly good. How do they do it????

Prior to running several errands this weekend, the husband and I popped into Redcrest for a quick bite. I ordered the signature (vegan) Redcrest sandwich which comes with red curry mayo, spicy onions, and lettuce.; the husband got the same but non-vegan. We shared an order of fries which was plenty, they are generous with the fires :-)

The sandwich was so good that I’m really looking forward to going back to try the Buttermilk, Drive-Thru, and South X Southwest sandwiches. Drool…..

I’m usually a fan of the heavier type sauces; your red sauces, cream sauces, and cheesey type sauces. Well, the husband usually favors a lighter sauce so I try to make them every so often ;-) The other night I was craving pasta and decided to try one we’d not had before: Kite Hill Tortellini. Given that the pasta itself was heavier than a traditional noodle I thought that this was a perfect night to try out one of those lighter sauces that the husband likes :-) Time: 10-15 minutes Servings: 2 Ingredients • 3 Tbs lemon juice • 2 Tbs olive oil • 2 Tbs non-dairy butter • 2 Tbs chopped chives plus additional for garnish • 1 Tbs herbs de Provence • ½ Tbs garlic powder • ¼ tsp salt Add the olive oil and butter to a small sauce pan and set to medium-low heat to melt the butter. Add in the chopped chives, herbs de Provence, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Turn the heat to low and warm the ingredients together for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Spoon over your pasta of choice, garnish with additional chopped scallions and serve! . . . #veganaf #vegan #veganrecipes #plantbased #plantbasedrecipes #veganblogger #vegansofinstagram #veganrecipe #dairyfree #foodporn #findingvegan #bestofveganrecipes #friendsnotfood #crueltyfree #animalrights #plantpower #vegancommunity #vegancomfortfood #fussfreevegan #whatveganseat #veganfoodporn #veganfoodlovers #tortellini #pasta #lemon #herbs
