Trader Joe's Organic Brown Rice Marshmallow Treats

mbr8135 — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 15:36:45 -0700

I am going to assume this is the Trader Joe-erized version of the Glenny's brown rice marshmallow treats that I saw posted here. However, I haven't tried the Glenny ones to offer a comparison.

Jyoti Indian Cuisine- Punjabi Chhole

lauren ikon — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 17:49:36 -0700

I was a little skeptical of eating Indian food from a can, but holy moly, it's gooooood shit.

Soy Curls~*

cacey — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:10:12 -0700

I had not heard of these until a few weeks ago! I l-o-v-e them! We came across them at Food Fight in Portland where they are carried in Bulk, which I also love! They are great in stir-fry, but I have all kinds of other dishes I would like to try them in. The best part is that they are good for you too! :)

Uncle Eddie's Vegan Cookies

Katy-did — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 21:42:52 -0700

These are the best vegan cookies I have ever tasted and they are organic to boot. My niece and nephew, who are not vegan, think they are very tasty. We found Uncle Eddie's Vegan Cookies at our local Whole Foods Market. They come in a variety of types including Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate Chip with Walnuts and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. My only complaint is that the cookies are not very big. A bag of 12 cookies will cost you roughly $5.00. Given the size of the cookie I think they are a bit pricey but for a junk food fix every now and again it is well worth it.

Kansas City Veggie Guide

HippieVeganite — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:34:56 -0600

Didn't really know where else to post this website: http://www.vegkansascity.com/

Not only do they let you know all the veggie options in KC but let you know which chain restaurants are veggie friendly. Also includes flyers to print and distribute, activism opportunities in KC, recipes, etc.
It's a nice resource even if you don't live here or don't plan on coming here :)

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day line

trisreal — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:31:08 -0600

Products include pet supplies (shampoos, stain removers), candles, hand soap and hand lotion, dish soap, laundry detergent, fabric softener, TONS of various household cleaners for bathroom and kitchen. Excellent scents include lavender, lemon verbena, geranium (my favorite), and I have a set of holiday cleaning supplies with a spicy gingerbread scent. AND THEY WORK!

Never tested on animals. Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day products do not use any animal derived ingredients except the Furniture Cream, which does use the animal by-product beeswax.

'Fantastic' Falafel

tmar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 03:12:50 -0600

I am always on the hunt for the perfect Falafel. It took about 25 minutes to make and I opted to Broil it instead of deep fry. It wasn't aweful but it wasn't great either. A little to much salt.

Oh it says it's vegan but after taking a look at the packaging I saw that it says it was made on shared equipment that also processes milk.

Guess I'll keep searching for that perfect Falafel.....

Odwalla Bar

Calypso — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 07:36:22 -0600

On all Odwalla products it says "Real food for humans." Which is true for them to say because it's healthy and organic and doesn't taste like something you'd only feed an animal. They're full of flavor. They have a few bars I really like that is called Berries Gomega which is packed with vegetarian omega-3's, Banana Nut that has calcium and folate, and Choco-walla with antioxidants, beta carotene and vitamins C & E.

Frozen fresh Recipe Beginnings

MollyMormon — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:43:48 -0600

Kroger came out with frozen mirepoix mix vegetables. They also have peppers and onions an a few other starters. Sure it's not organic but on those busy nights it's so easy. I can still cook without the forever chopping.

MaraNatha Organic (no stir) Creamy Peanut Butter

cacey — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 15:34:34 -0600

Okay, so I know that almond and cashew nut butters are probably so much better for me, but they are a bit too expensive for us to buy very often. So as a compromise to my nut butter lovin' self this is what I have found to be the best tasting Peanut Butter, thus far...

try it!!!

Zen Soy Pudding (vegan)

cacey — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 11:49:14 -0600

This stuff is Yuuuu-mee! I have only tried the chocolate and the vanilla/chocolate swirl! They also have banana and vanilla. If you open one and put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes it sort of tastes like a puddin' pop! for real...

Vegan Edge Kate let me in on these goodies :) thanks girl!

Road's End Organics NonDairy Nacho Chreese Dip

veganvampira — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 14:14:41 -0600

Good, but not as good as homemade from nutritional yeast.

Miso my mayo! An amazing mayonnaise alternative

Sat, 30 Aug 2008 05:19:14 -0600

I wasn't exactly looking for an alternative to mayo before someone recommended Miso Mayo to me. I don't eat a lot of mayonnaise normally, but still, it's a steadfast condiment that always hits the spot when I need it. But I figured I give this soy-based vegan alternative a try--anything to liven up a dull sandwich, right? Miso Mayo is so good! You can tell for yourself because it says it right there on the bottle: "So Good!" They ain't lyin'.

Herban Cowboy Shave Cream

Micah Perry — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 13:36:08 -0600

Herban Cowboy
Organic vegan shave cream!

Its pretty manly smelling but my special lady friend likes it so I'll use it. It works good, no complaints. Kinda weirds me out putting man smells on, if I were a little more gay I'd be into it. Smells like man-machines in the traditional sense.

Super happy to find a nice vegan product.

Preserve Double Razor

Micah Perry — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 13:25:43 -0600

Most razors aren't vegan. This one is. Works great. Not gender-specific. I'm really happy about this find.

Vegan Lunch Box

SaraMonster — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:20:56 -0600

Now back in print!

I just got a copy of this last week and read it cover to cover. Very unique and fun lunch ideas for kids AND adults. Healthy too.

Vegan lunches just got cool.

Purely Decadent made with coconut milk

veganvampira — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 07:26:52 -0600

This one is for the vegan sinners out there. I had a coupon so I bought it to try it. It is amazing. I bought the cookie dough flavor and I can't believe how good it is. Beware, it could get addictive!

Sharon's Sorbet

sassafras — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 22:19:43 -0600

YUMMY vegan sorbet. I LOVE the coconut flavor. More creamy than any hormone-laden dairy ice cream could ever aspire to be :)

The other flavors are great, too.

Just $1.99 in the frozen section of your local Trader Joe's!

Skinny Bitch

betsy — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:13:53 -0600

The authors of this book are very blunt and very funny! My favorite chapter is about sugar/artificial sweeteners. I no longer drink anything diet!

Matt & Nat Zebrano handbag in Brown (Cognac)

KK — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 14:16:20 -0600

I cannot even tell you how much I LOVE this handbag. First of all, the color, texture, etc are AMAZING! (I have it in the brown/Cognac color). I feel obliged to tell everyone who compliments me on it that's it's vegan/non-leather b/c it looks so good, you wouldn't know that it wasn't. It was a little expensive, I won't lie ($145), but worth every penny. Great details, with the zippered pockets, really cute plaid lining, pockets for cell, i-pod, etc. Just a really nice looking, well-made, super cute, super functional, quality handbag. Every time I look at it, it just makes me happy!

Spectrum Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing

betsy — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 13:48:42 -0600

This is SO good!! I have never tried regular caesar dressing so I can't compare the two, but oh man! I could drink it right out the bottle!

Vegan marshmallow kit

Alice at Angel Food — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 15:53:20 -0600

I've just joined Vegifide and hope it's not bad form to be submitting a review of my own product... Don't hate me!
But I really really want you people to know about this: here at Angel Food we sell kits so people can make their own fresh vegan marshmallows. True story.
You get two sachets of powder, plus the recipe, of course, and you add water, sugar, syrup and vanilla essence. You also need a candy/frying thermometer and an electric mixer. And then you're good to go.
Each kit makes about 50 good sized marshies. Or 15 huge marshmallow cones. Mmmmm, marshmallow cones....

Orville Redenbacher's Natural Garden Herb and Olive Oil

HippieVeganite — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:56:08 -0600

Going vegan I had to give up Butter flavored popcorn but... Alas!!! This is a healthier vegan alternative. It smells funky as hell while popping but it makes a great replacement for my junk food craving.

Plamil organic orange chocolate with cranberries

Firebird — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 18:35:14 -0600

:) This is an unusual new product from Plamil, and one of a range of 3 new smaller-sized organic 50g bars.

This bar is basically chocolate just like their standard organic orange chocolate, but also with chunks of Cranberry in.

I've decided to give it 3 stars out of 5 because while the chocolate was no worse than it is usually, the spotlight does seem to be on the Cranberries with these bars, and the berries just ... well... fundamentally fail to excite me... you know ?
