December’s Best Bites – My Favorite Meals at Dayton Restaurants

December is always a great month for going out and about. Between shopping and catching up with friends and family, it’s just a month where a lot of great meals happen. Here are some of my favorites.

Winter Feast at Wheat Penny

Try to not be too shocked but I actually had something other than the cauliflower steak at Wheat Penny! I started with the warm focaccia and picked the roasted cherry tomatoes and garlic topping. Then I had the butternut squash pasta made vegan with mushrooms. It was all absolutely amazing. Plus, I had their mulled wine-inspired cocktail for a perfect 10/10 winter meal.

Tacos and Vegan Meatballs at Gather

Shopping til we drop at Holly Days made us pretty hungry, but luckily Gather was there to help. I had the Seoul Street Tacos with tofu and vegan chorizo meatballs and patatas bravas. Well, I shared the last two things. It was all absolutely amazing.

Speaking of Gather, I had ordered a box of their pumpkin snickerdoodles before Thanksgiving and froze them. They were the perfect sweet treat to have out at one of our dinner/Notre Dame watch parties this month.

My Birthday Dinner at Sueño

My boyfriend surprised me with reservations at Sueño for my birthday and it was a perfect time. I had their yummy guacamole and butternut squash tacos that had a real kick.

We went downstairs to Tender Mercy and I had a Garbage Sangria (that’s the name of it, it’s not garbage, it’s delightful). It was an absolute dream of an evening.

Hope you had a great December full of delicious local food!
