Charlotte Veggie

Luna’s Living Kitchen

This all organic, all vegan, mostly raw food(the house made veggie burger is cooked), mostly gluten free(they do offer Ezekiel sprouted bread), soy free, nut free, only naturally sweetened full service restaurant and juicery is bright and fresh from its creative food to its atmosphere. I consider it a big gem! Talk about a place you can eat out guilt-free! I don’t think there is a one single item on their menu that can be considered unhealthy. Luna and her staff have truly made their mark in Charlotte introducing plant based food that is appealing to all palates. From green to non green juices to smoothies to juice cleansing plans to options like sunflower seed hummus (you would never know) to the savory raw falafel to hearty burritos wrapped in collard leaves that are so filling to decked out satisfying salads to their “lunasagna”, you will have an amazing meal! Pictured above is the Fire & Brimstone wrap, Purple Rain juice, and the Arugula Harvest salad.

(Above is gracious Luna and I as well as the “Lunasagna” with basil cashew cheese and below is the “manicotti” which was mind blowing – full of Italian flavor yet so light and refreshing to eat!)

They offer coffee with either almond or coconut milk and have also introduced organic and sustainable beer and wine. They also sell packages of house made cacao granola, macaroons, and other goodies. The juices are around $9 but keep in mind it takes a far greater amount of produce to make a glass of juice than a smoothie, they are using all organic ingredients, and Luna’s bottles are perfect reusable vessels!

All that shopping and wrapping and just being home more has me in mega snack mode. These two zesty recipes take less than thirty minutes to prepare together!

White Bean Pesto Hummus

We have some rainy day blues going on here with a pretty empty fridge and pantry as well as a dead car battery. That’s no bueno when you’re feeling snacky! Thankfully, I had a carton of beans and still tons of basil in my summer garden. You can use this recipe as a rough guide. [...]

Dilly’s Gourmet Guacamole

It just warms my heart when my little man pulls up the step stool to prepare food with me! He thoroughly enjoys mashing up the avocados and mixing various toppings in. And I’m telling you: food tastes better to a child when they have made it! He isn’t always the quickest or most willing eater, [...]
