Vegan Ladies of LA!

I joined a vegan meet up group a couple of months ago and unfortunately I was not able to attend any of the events...until last night. I joined the Vegan Ladies of LA for their one year anniversary at Cafe Gratitude. We sat on the patio and took in the fresh air after a little drizzle of rain. You could see a perfectly crafted rainbow from where we were sitting. We talked, we drank, we laughed, and we ATE...lol. The food was delicious. Cafe Gratitude is known for their raw cuisine but they do have some cooked dishes on their menu. I tried two of their appetizers and a raw milk shake. As you'll see from the captions below all of their dishes have really fun names.
