Merry Christmas!
Sometimes you have to get your competing breakfast sides into a fight to the death to decide on taste supremacy.
Let us BATTLE!
Smart Bacon is salty, but as far as I can recall, it does a decent impression of the real thing. Tempeh Smoked Maple Bacon is tasty, but does not look or taste like bacon at all. So if you really want something that tastes like bacon, you go with the former, but if a tasty side is all you require, then the latter is for you.
Case CLOSED.
I’m not the worlds biggest lover of chocolate, but I know what I like. I don’t feel that the peppermint is especially strong, nor does it have that overpowering dark chocolate taste – it’s just good. I highly recommend it to vegans and non-vegans.
Vegan chicken salad sandwiches have become a major staple of my diet. I can get it at my local Whole Foods, but perhaps it’s available elsewhere.
I highly recommend it!
I have what you’d call a love/hate relationship with Whole Foods, but all is forgiven when they whip out the Curry Apple Pumpkin Soup.
This soup has everything: it’s sweet, spicy and hearty – it’s full of flavor in a way that most things are not. It’s a seasonal soup and I have no idea which WF stores carry it, but if you get the chance, I highly recommend giving it a try.
Much to my surprise, Amy’s Tofu Scramble was a microwaved breakfast delight. I have high tofu scramble standards and was not disappointed. I was skeptical of the side of tomatoes, but they ended up being a welcomed addition. If you’re vegan (or have high cholesterol or just want to try something different) and don’t mind the price tag, I’d check out Amy’s Tofu Scramble.
Starbucks sent me a Gold Card as a membership upgrade – who knew such a thing existed? It’s pretty much the same as my old Starbucks card, but it does have a few additional bells and whistles. For example, its guady design and my name on the front.
As a vegan, there isn’t really any other coffee chain to turn to besides Starbucks when it’s time to get my soy milk and latte on, so I’m a loyal customer… but they didn’t need to send me a card with my name on it so I can prove to everyone that at least one major corporation is aware I have an addiction to their product.
Anyway, now my Red Card can suck it- it’s all about the Starbucks bling up in here!
My never ending search for vegan snacks has led me to Tapatio Kimonos Salsa Picante Potato Chips by Ruffles – they are vegan and they are awesome!
Beyond the fact that vegan snacks produced by a major corporation (however accidentally) rank high on the awesomeness scale, the Tapatio Kimonos Salsa Picante Potato Chips have a nice spicy kick to them which is paired with a hint of lemon to insure general ass-kickingness. I highly recommend them!
The picture of my eggplant doesn’t say it all… I think this gives the impression that I’m some sort of bad ass farmer, but its not true. I just buy little baby plants through em in the ground and make sure they get water. Still, eating stuff that grows around your house is awesome.
DELICIOUSLY VEGAN!
Bless the good people at Nabisco.
I love cookies, and I particularly like chocolate mint cookies. Since I’ve been a vegan, I haven’t been able to come by that holy grail of snack… until last night.
Yes, the Mint OREO Fudge Cremes are vegan and they’re AWESOME. I wasn’t expecting them to be vegan; when one sees the word ‘fudge,’ this is usually a read flag, but I read the back, and sure enough, they passed the test. I handed the package to my girlfriend for a double check. “What am I missing here?” I asked her,because I still didn’t believe the cookies could possible be vegan. But nothing escapes her eyes, and she confirmed it: vegan chocolate mint cookies.
Like all oreos (as far as I know), the Mint OREO Fudge Cremes have that resealable top opening, but to take it a step farther, you have this executive cookie tray inside that gives each cookie it’s own individual home. Maybe this is excessive packaging, or maybe the cookies are just fragile… but I don’t care. The cookies are awesome!
Sure, there are the proper Mint Oreos, and I like those very much, but they just weren’t what I was looking for to satisfy my particular need for a chocolate mint cookie in the tradition of the Girl Scout’s thin mints or Keebler’s Grasshopper. (Yes, my knowledge of chocolate mint cookies is second to none!) Mint OREO Fudge Cremes, however, are getting it done for me.
If you’re vegan, this is a no brainer. If you like cookies, I highly recommend you give them a try – and even if you don’t, pick up a bag every once and a while anyway because I’m paranoid they’ll stop making them.
