~Betty and Franc Day 15 - Traveling

Today is Saturday and we are traveling for the weekend. We planned to visit my sister and attend a Steelers party she was hosting. We knew that the majority of the food she would be preparing we would not be able to eat, and we did not want to force her to become vegan chef just for us. Therefore, we planned ahead and brought some of our own dishes. We didn't have a lot of time so we also bought some items just so we had enough to eat. Here's the party fare we brought to the party:

Taco Dip
 Many thanks to Francs sister who gave us this awesome recipe !
We've made this many times and it was easy to convert to a non-dairy version
These amounts make a 9x9 size dip you will layer:
1/2 can refried beans (make sure you choose vegetarian beans)
1/2 cup non dairy sour cream
1/2 cup non dairy cream cheese
I mix the cream cheese ans sour cream together well and layer it on top of the refried beans
A layer of guacamole (we really liked Trader Joes brand guac)
A layer of Salsa
To top it off we put pineapple tidbits (sounds weird but its FABULOUS!)

This dip is so good we couldnt help dive in before we took a picture!

5 Bean Salad - from Giant Eagle Salad bar (vinegar dressing)

Veggie subs from subway with Italian dressing (yes their Italian dressing is dairy free - I checked!)

Vegan Beer ;-)
