Have you ever had hesitation to try new food…especially something that consists of mainly vegetables?
Bee adventurous explored Veggie Fest Chicago with vegan legend Karyn Calabrese. (karynraw.com) The 72 year old energetic raw living-foodist and holistic health expert took us on a behind the scenes tour. To our surprise we loved everything we tried…
We sampled vegan pizza, jackfruit tacos, loaded fries, wonderful indian cuisine, nutella pie, vegan ice cream…just to name a few!
What’s next:
We took the amazing opportunity to be a guest chef with Karyn Calabrese. Mixing up simple and delicious raw vegan cuisine. Even her cauliflower salad dish got 2 thumbs up from Charley.
Next we took a lap around the fest. We made a stop to meet NBA legend and speaker John Salley,(johnsalley.com) He is now known as a wellness master and advocate and spoke about his amazing journey to becoming a vegan.
We made a stop off to get some henna tattoos and a lap around all of the vendor booths.
Overall the energy at this event was amazing, the food was delicious, and the people were so friendly. It made me wonder: if I changed my thinking, would it change my life? Do vegetables make people happier?!?!
