I finally did it! Finally got to try these:
Coconut Kale Enchiladas from Bliss Raw Cafe.
Menu description:

and cashew sour creme wrapped in coconut tortillas
It’s the coconut tortillas that really got me. Somehow, they were soft and crispy at the same time. And their sweetness made a perfect foil for the acerbic kale.
This was actually my first time ever trying enchiladas– raw or cooked, vegan or non. Somehow, even though I’ve lived in Texas for years, I’d never had them before. If other enchiladas are as good as these, I’ve been missing out! But then again, other enchiladas don’t have coconut and kale… so they couldn’t possibly be as good as these!
Other things I’ve ordered at Bliss:
Loved loved loved this! The basil pesto was especially yumlicious.
Not so big on this one. But really, you can’t expect to love every item on a restaurant’s menu.
On this trip, I brought along the Bamboo Utensil Set I received as a Christmas present. My friend asked, “Aren’t you ever worried people will think you’re weird for bringing your own utensils to a restaurant?”
Well, first of all: No, I don’t care. If people want to think I’m weird, that’s their loss. My grandma always said, “If they’re laughing at me, at least they’re laughing!”
Second of all: It was a raw restaurant, for goodness sake! The guy serving us had about ten tattoos on his arms, and a lady across from me had hot-pink hair. Not exactly the kinds of people who judge you for going against mainstream society.
yum! I remember you talking about these and I think I was almost exited to hear about them as you were to eat them!
We have NO vegan cafe’s around here… It makes me want to open one! Your meals look SO good. I am making a vegetable lasagna this week and i made pumpkin enchiladas tonight…Not exactly the same as yours but close 🙂
Woah, pumpkin enchiladas… I might choose those over kale enchiladas, especially if they were homemade. They sound so good!
new nut butter recipe, definitely!
NUT BUTTER— HAND DOWN!
Wow, Bliss Raw Cafe wins major points for presentation! Those enchiladas are works of art!
Hi Katie! This is my first comment but I have been reading your blog for a while and I hate it. Why? Well…
1. I never get any homework done because I read one post and click on a link and read another and another and before you know it it’s time for bed and my paper still isn’t done.
2. I’m broke. All of your food looks so good so as soon as I read a recipe I feel the need to go buy eleven dollar coconut butter and stock up on organic dark chocolate and larabars.
3. I’m cold. I love to run as much as you but when it’s cold I hit the dreadmill. Then I see that you ran in the cold so I say “If Katie can do it, so can I.”
So, thank you for your wonderful, distracting inspiring posts!

Awww Emily, I think yours is one of the cutest comments I’ve ever received :).
(And lol, I have a Canadian friend who serves as my cold-running motivation. I say, “If she can do it in below-zero temps, I shouldn’t complain about the 20s!”)
NUT BUTTAH!!! 🙂
We have a vegan cafe opening up in my town next month – I am so excited! Your meals just made me salivate!
