Greek Food, A Soccer Game and a Successful Vegan Mexican Food Night

Billy and I had the most fun last weekend! I was so excited about going to Dallas for the night and I was not disappointed! We started off the evening by going to the BEST Greek place I've every experienced (Platia Greek Kouzina if you're ever in the area). They had an amazing veggie plate and BYOB, so we were able to drink a bottle of vino on the cheap :) We splurged and got an appetizer and desert and I tried the Greek coffee, which was surprisingly good. They boil the water, grounds and sugar together and don't strain anything, so you have to drink it before all the grounds cake on the bottom of the cup, but not so fast that you drink all the grounds and lose your ability to sleep for a few nights ;)

After the most wonderful dinner date, we went to the soccer field where it was raining, but nobody seemed to notice. FC Dallas was playing the San Jose Earthquakes and Dallas won, 1-0.

You can tell my husband loves having his picture taken... :)

And last night I made the yummiest strawberry mojito with strawberries, sugar, mint, limes, rum and sparkling water, I've decided that when it comes to cocktails, the simpler, the better.

I also made tamales for the first time! And I was so worried, but they turned out delicious! I mixed the masa with water and olive oil and filled them with roasted mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini and onion. Even Billy liked them, which is saying a lot when it comes to vegan food.
