My boyfriend’s family invited us to spend a weekend at the Catskills Animal Sanctuary. Little did I know, I would leave that weekend making the choice to become a pescatarian. When we first arrived, we took a tour around their farm. I heard stories about each animal and what their life would have been like if they weren’t saved. All I ever knew was having meat and dairy in every meal as a necessity. This place taught me otherwise. Not only was the view of the farm breathtaking, but The Homestead (bed and breakfast, if you will) that was on the property was so quaint. They even made us a full vegan breakfast. & to be honest, I could hardly tell the difference that it was dairy free.
At night we visited the downtown area of Woodstock, NY. It was the cutest little town! We ate at The Garden Cafe, a delicious vegan restaurant. I had the spinach pesto pasta and again, could hardly tell that it was dairy free! If this trip taught me anything it’s that there are so many alternatives now to making equally delicious meals with out meat or dairy.
You can check out their food blog with all of these amazing recipes here. The recipe for the pancakes they made for us can be found here.
