Sharing some of my favorite vegetarian-friendly spots in Philly, a bomb recipe for a hush puppy goli bajje mash up and more!

Hey friends!

Hope you enjoyed your week and are starting off March with some positive energy!

If you’ve been following me for a while, then you know I have a special place in my heart for the city of Philadelphia. It shaped me into the person I am today. I went to undergrad and grad school in Philly and fell in love. Last year Rhut brought me back to my old stomping grounds for our anniversary and we took a small trip to Reading Terminal to buy some Amish donuts to binge on for the day. As I drove past Walnut Street, I remembered all the solo shopping trips I took here and how I learned to be independent, and that hanging out by myself is ok. I started tearing up as I slowly drove (Philly traffic, gotta love it) past new restaurants and shops, and I couldn’t help feeling a bit of FOMO. I always knew Philly had the potential to be a fantastic city, not that it wasn’t already, but I wanted others to see the city how I saw it. To this day, I believe that Philly is the most underrated city for foodies. I remember saving up all my cash during college and waiting for that one special week, Restaurant Week, where upscale restaurants would have $35 prix fixe menus. Six years into living in Philly, I had eaten at almost every restaurant in the city! Now that I see all these amazing new places popping up in the city, I can’t help but go out and try as many as I can when I’m in town!
