Coming up in KC & Share the Love; 7/8/11

Time for another wonderful summer weekend!

{Coming Up in KC}

• Westport Food Truck Festival: This weekend in food trucks we have The First Annual Westport Food Truck Festival. Put on by The Pitch and Boulevard, this event will be located at The Backyard at The Beaumont (4050 Pennsylvania Ave, KCMO).
  
  It will be held THIS Friday, July 8th from 5pm-12am, and Saturday, July 9th from 3pm-12am, and feature up to 20 local food trucks along with festival activities including pitchers of Boulevard Brewery beer, margaritas, DJs, bands, food demos, performers, local artisans and more. Cost is $5.00 per day. I love it when all the food trucks come together! (That last sentence is to be said in the voice of Hannibal Smith).

• Meet up:
  Erik and I are attending our first ever meet-up this Saturday with VegKC meet-up group, Kansas City’s vegan and vegetarian group. We thought it would be a fun way to meet people, and we’re eating at Eden Alley, already on my top recommended Kansas City restaurants list. We’ve never been to any meet up groups before, so it should be fun … I will report back later!

{Share the Love}

• Itzy’s Kitchen: Erica’s blog was actually the first food-related blog I found over two years ago, and is a huge reason why I started my blog. It would be hard to someone as sweet and helpful as her! The above link goes to her recent black bean burger recipe (that looks delicious!) On top of all that, she’s very close to having her first little one, and I couldn’t be happier for her!!

• Athlete’s Plate: Most simply put, Matt always has awesome healthy recipes and useful tips, and info. It also just so happens that this week I’m his featured blogger. So go check it out! Warning: you may start drinking kombucha if you stick around Matt’s blog for too long, ha.

• Eat, Live, Run’s Vegan Blueberry Almond Tart: Words really aren’t needed, this vegan tart looks way too good not to pass on!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
