Vegan Sunday Brunch!

Happy Sunday morning friends. I hope that before you head out to enjoy the day you can collapse at your kitchen table and feast on a friendly Sunday brunch with the fam. Here are a few of my Vegan Sunday Brunch ideas and how I'm spending my sunny (sort've) weekend...

OK, so last night I had to switch back into my winter coat and boots. But during the day .. I was all spring-ed out in my flip flops, sunglasses, tank top and spring sweater. It was fabulous. Even if I was freezing in just a few hours after we started our stroll.

My husband and I took a long walk down to Pier 25 here in NYC. It had been rumored that there was a mini golf course opening up this spring - and since there are literally NO mini golf courses in the city - we decided to venture down there and see for ourselves if it was open. Plus the walk was fun. We saw the beautiful course - but it was closed. However, if you have kids and live in the city - there is an awesome kids playground. Wow, swings, jungle gyms, climbing towers, spaceship-looking things and more. Super fun.

Here I am on the pier. If you squint, you can see the Statue of Liberty in the distance. I was half-smiling because I was kinda freezing from the windy air!..


Blue Sky in SoHo. Spring is here? I hope so.
