11 Fast Food Spots With Plant-Based Options — Because Even Vegans Get Late-Night Cravings
@laila_zackaria_mua

Not eating meat can sometimes make it hard to eat out with friends if you aren't looking to spend a lot of money to eat somewhere nice. When I first became a vegetarian many years ago there were almost no plant-based options and chain restaurants that weren't salad.

Luckily that has changed! Now many fast food joints filling and delicious plant-based options that will satisfy any meat craving you could have (if you are still getting them). So can still eat all that yummy fast food grease without the guilt of hurting an animal.

In the past year, so many chains have added a planted based option to their menu. Hopefully, many more like McDonald's jumps on this trend soon and makes their fries vegetarian soon. But till then here are some plant-based fast food I have tried.

1. Burger King

@burgerking

BK was one of the first fast food places to offer a plant-based option. The Impossible Whopper will definitely curve your late-night cravings.

2. Dunkin'

@never.not.satisfied

The Beyond Sausage Breakfast Sandwich is probably my favorite on this list. It's so good my meat-eating friends didn't realize I had brought them the beyond version.

3. Taco Bell

@veganishmama

Just replace the meat with beans on any of their menu items! I recommend black beans in taco like items and refried beans in burrito like items.

4. Chipotle

@rodriguez_fam5

THE SOFRITAS ARE SOOO GOOD! My go-to is a burrito bowl with rice, sofritas, black beans, lettuce, guac, and cheese when I still ate dairy.

5. Moe's

@thejewishvegan

i recomend the homewrecker with organic tofu.

6. White Castle

@theyogalifechicago

You can get cute, little Impossible sliders.

7. The Hard Rock Cafe

@thebexsweet

Not so much a drive thru but stiil a good chain. They carry the Impossible Burger with some other veggie-based meals.

8. The Cheesecake Factory

@cherimisfitvegan

Impossible Burger is one of many options they have, you can also get Impossible "meat" sauce for your pasta.

9. Red Robin

@that.tamm.vegan

Their Impossible cheeseburger comes with Red's pickle relish, red onions, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, and your choice of cheese and you can't forget the Bottomless Steak Fries it comes with.

Also, you can request the Impossible patty to substitute any meat on other sandwiches.

10. TGI Fridays

@cora.etc

A great spot that is probably close to you to get a Beyond Burger.

11. Denny's

@taramichellez

They have immaculate late night vibes and now my favorite Beyond Burger to match.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
