FULL VEGAN:
Phoenix is another city with more 100% vegan options than we had time to fully explore!
Green New American : Phoenix, AZ
Green New American Vegetarian restaurant is everything you would expect from a hip downtown eatery. They feature all your favorite foods made with 100% plant-based ingredients, vegan cheeses, and mock meats. You can tell they take food seriously and strive to use organic ingredients whenever possible. You can tell they are passionate about food! The cafe features counter order with waitstaff that delivers the food and drink to your table after ordering. The restaurant features sliding garage doors on the front of the build which open to additional outdoor seating during warmer weather. a few additional outdoor tables can be found behind the restaurant. Off-street parking is available, as well.
Pictured here: Chili, Classic Burger, Chicken Nuggs, and Fries
Nami : Phoenix, AZ
This Vegan sweet shop is right next door to Green (and is a sister shop). We didn’t have time to stop in but Green does stock some of their treats and they all looked amazing. It’s super exciting to have some many great vegan choices all in one place!!
Giving Tree Cafe: Phoenix, AZ
This is the sister restaurant to Chocola Tree in Sedona and is just as amazing. They offer a wide variety of ethnic options and even have all-day breakfast. They have a vision for a world of fresh Water, clean Air, fertile Soil and Harmony among all sentient beings, where Life is restored to ecological, social, and economic balance. If that isn’t enough, everything we ate tasted incredible, too!
Pictured here: Buckwheat pancake, Mushroom Mole Tacos, The Whole Enchilada, and Avocado Toast
Bonus: We were able to catch up with Thad’s Daughter and Son-in-Law while we enjoyed great food
ChocolaTree : Sedona, AZ
As mentioned, this is a sister location to Giving Tree Cafe in Phoenix. The food here is fantastic and they offer many raw options. Their vision is for a world of natural beauty where every child is born into a domain of clean air, pure water & their very own garden, with growing fresh foods in a splendid paradise! We all play a part in nurturing this Vision together as we make conscious choices that honor ourselves, the planet and each other.
The absolute best part is the dessert case full of house-made chocolate treats!
Pictured here: Green Goddess Salad, Avocado Toast, Corn Chowder, Vegetable Uttapam, and a flatbread special
Verdura : Phoenix, AZ
Another really cool vegan restaurant with a diner vibe. This one features counter service ordering and waitstaff delivery. They offered outdoor seating, as well as, a traditional diner counter. to many great choices to pick from here! Their menu is super diverse and should offer several options for everybody.
Pictured here: Ethan’s Mac N Cheese, Wedge Fries, and Chili (soup of the day)
VEGAN OPTIONS:
Whole Foods : Sedona, AZ
You can, of course, find all sorts of vegan goodies in the grocery section here but…they also have an inhouse restaurant (Bar 1902) which features a daily dinner special. The special includes a meal and a drink special (which ends up being the same price as a meal without a drink). They offered vegan options each day.
Pictured here: some sort of cauliflower tacos, I think?
We were able to catch up with Heather’s friend, Vanessa, while we enjoyed great food here, too!
Thai Spices : Sedona, AZ
We had the place to ourselves when we popped in for lunch here. Separate vegetarian section on the menu with the following subtitle: “Recommended for Vegans, as it contains no animal products ever!”
Pictured here: Pad Key Mow w/ tofu, and a vegan Thai Fried Rice (not on menu)
Dellapiane : Sedona, AZ
We stopped in here one afternoon just to see what they had to offer and were pleasantly surprised by several explicitly vegan choices on the menu (including a vegan breakfast omelette)! Outdoor seating is available here and seems like it could be a pretty happening spot for nightlife later in the day. Waitstaff was super attentive and very vegan knowledgeable.
Pictured here: Impossible Vegan with sweet potato fries

OMG. Don’t let anyone be the reason for YOUR happiness! Yup. You read that right.
That is TOO much power and responsibility to give away to another person.
I mean we all say it. I say it. “You make me happy.” or “You’re the reason for my happiness…..”
but really, the ONLY person responsible for your happiness… is YOU!
If you are the reason for someone’s happiness, then you’d also be the reason for their despair if you do something wrong. It’s actually unhealthy.
How ’bout we all just decide to make ourselves happy and attract people who do the same? Deal?
Life’s SO much more rewarding when you take complete responsibility for your feelings, behaviors, actions, thoughts, and life!
Now go have some FUN and show others by example how to love yourself fully and completely!

Thad and I spent last week volunteering at the Isagenix conference and hanging with our friends who also attended.
Our dear friends Dave & Kate rented a big house with a pool and hot tub and invited friends to join them, and even had plenty of room out front for us to park our RV so we could stay and visit too!
One night, after a long day at the conference, we all sat in the hot tub and talked and laughed about our day.
Thad makes a joke about farting in the hot tub, which he didn’t actually do, and another friend says this…
”I’m so glad you said that…. I’ve been farting all day!”
To which I straight faced replied “He was just joking.” 😬
Everyone just fell out laughing! 😂 😆 😝
Although it was really funny, and the woman who said it wasn’t too embarrassed, it was nice to get in that vulnerable place with each other!
The conversation got deeper and more connected and everyone had a really great time!
Sometimes we just need someone to break the ice and make it OK for us to be real with one another…. and it doesn’t have to be with a fart joke.
Too much of life is polished for social media, curated perfectly to convey just the right message when what we really need is some good old-fashioned human connection!
I don’t know about everyone else, but that hot tub time was precious to me. ❤️
I admit that even when I’m not working- I’m working. My mind is trained to see opportunities so it was nice to shut my brain off and just laugh, connect, and love the people I was with!
Are you looking for awesome people to connect with? Call or text me and ask me about joining my inner circle!

FULL VEGAN:
Hip City Veg: Washington DC + other locations
We ate here the first day we were in DC and then I didn’t want to go anywhere else. They had me at chick’n nuggets. I ate so many nuggets and sweet potato fries that weekend… omg. Thad showed little restraint as well with the Smokehouse burger and fries, and chick’n nuggets he was able to get from me when I wasn’t looking. They are good… REALLY freakin good!
