Tempt Hemp Tofu - Chorizo


What on earth is hemp tofu? Is it regular tofu that just has hemp in it, or is simply made purely from hemp? In this case, it is the later - I had no idea that such a thing was even possible. I only just recently discovered Burmese chickpea-based tofu, and now there's hemp tofu too?! I'm honestly very curious to see what it's like!

Grocery Haul - Safeway



I don't often go to Safeway, as every time I go there I look at everything and just complain about how over-priced it is. I feel much the same about New Seasons honestly, it just seems like their sale prices are the normal prices that I can find elsewhere, like Winco or Fred Meyer.

So what got me to go to Safeway on this day? I heard a rumor that they had the new non-dairy varieties of Ben & Jerry's ice creams. And sure enough they did! But as you can see, I ended up picking up a few other things as well.

Trader Joe's Scandinavian Swimmers


Scandinavian Swimmers? What exactly makes them "Scandinavian"? I can only guess that this is Trader Joe's way of letting you know that it's their take on those red Swedish Fish candies. Swedish Fish have a reputation for being vegan, but how does this version from Trader Joe's compare? Keep on reading to find out!

Miyoko's Creamery - Double Cream Sundried Tomato Garlic



Fancy vegan cheeses are all the rage these days! No longer are vegans relegated to eating gritty, gummy garbage or no cheese at all. Several months ago, I went to the Portland VegFest, where I got to sample a huge variety of vegan goodies, including many of the Miyoko's Creamery cheeses. These vegan cheeses comes in a handful of different flavors, but today I am just reviewing the Double Cream Sundried Tomato Garlic flavor. Keep reading to see my take on it!

Grocery Haul: Grocery Outlet


I've said it before, but I'll say it again, I love shopping at Grocery Outlet! It can be hit-and-miss, but it's fun when stumble across interesting vegan "treasures" for cheap. Everything you see here only set me back about $30. I do feel like I paid a little too much for the potatoes, but I needed potatoes and didn't feel like making another stop.

I'm usually hesitant to review Grocery Outlet finds, as it's likely stuff has found it's way there since it's been discontinued, but if you want to see anything here reviewed, let me know in the comments!

Another fun trip to Trader Joe's! On this trip I picked up some stuff to make pizza, and some other staples I was needing. From this trip, I'm hoping to review the mini churros, brownie crisp, Tofurky sausage, thai sweet chili burgers, and the scandinavian swimmers.

Nana's Peanut Butter Cookie


Cookies! What's not to love about a big ol' peanut butter cookie? How about a cookie trying to pass itself off as a "healthy" option since it's made with fruit juice? I suppose there could be worse things to put in a cookie, but read on to see my take on this one.
