Perhaps the hardest thing to give up when attempting a vegan lifestyle are eggs.

Let’s face it.

Just type in google images right now “breakfast ideas” and watch what comes up.

In fact, I will do it for you now and tell you what I got:

1. Pancakes (made with 1 egg).
2. Breakfast Burritos (made with egg whites).
3. Spinach and Mushroom Frittatas (made with 4 eggs).
4. Over easy egg and avocado (made with eggs…I guess you knew that).

When my husband and I lived in California, there was a place that we really loved to dine at named Dharma’s.

Yes, it lived up to the name…

Cooky owner, rockstar looking workers, New Age decor…

Yet it was a wonderful place to eat out at. In fact, if you were in my town, it was an absolute must – everyone knew that.

This restaurant, beautifully was full of all sorts of healthy, organic, vegan, and gluten free clean eats. It was known for its colossal sized breakfast, lunch, and dinner options to try that crossed all cultural bounds – Indian cuisine, Asian, Mexican, Italian, American – you name it.

That was indeed our default go-to restaurant.
