Awesome Sales, Haul and Pulled Mushroom Sliders!

Yesterday I was in the area of Natural Grocers and Trader Joe's, so I decided to get what I didn't find at the Asian Market. I went to Natural Grocers just for a couple of sweets. Believe it or not, for vegan chocolates and candies they have the best prices. I also found some of my favorite grilled tofu on clearance for eighty five cents! They have a little clearance section in the cooler next to their booch, and they sometimes have some amazing deals. They also were having a wicked sale on Kevita booch.

I saw this at Natural Grocers, it's Portobello mushroom jerky! They actually had a big selection of vegan jerky, more than non vegan jerky. I like the name, Fungy Jerky. I've dated a lot of those. Sorry, I had to.

I took a different street to catch my bus, and I fell in love with this tree. I had to take this picture because the tree is so beautiful, but also yesterday was such an amazingly gorgeous day. I had a setback this week that threw me for a loop, and I've been fighting a losing battle with the blues, but it was hard to feel blue walking through such a beautiful neighborhood on such a perfect day.

This was on clearance for one dollar! It was actually pretty tasty!

Pizza dough, lemons,spinach,cabbage,avocado,taco mix,bananas

BBQsauce,potatoes,fizzy water,frozen pineapple, frozen raspberries,and barely seen rice.

I recently found out that Trader Joe's uses vegan worcestershire sauce for their BBQ sauces, so they are vegan unless made with honey! That is exciting because this sriracha BBQ sauce is seriously amazing. Like the best BBQ sauce ever. Or at least that I've had.

Discount too ripe bananas, booch, grilled tofu, Daiya yogurt,and candy!!!

I tried the daiya yogurt this morning, and I wasn't a fan. It has that daiya aftertaste, but like a sweet version of the aftertaste. The black cherry taste was really good, it just tasted very made in a lab.
Most importantly, last night I made pulled mushroom BBQ sliders with the trumpet mushrooms. Guys, these babies are a game changer. They shred very easily with a fork, you just slice them down the middle and shred away.

I sauteed a finely diced onion with some garlic powder, and once the onions were soft, I added the shredded mushrooms. After a few minutes, I added about 3/4 of a cup of the sriracha BBQ sauce, and let it all simmer for about fifteen or twenty minutes. I made a little slaw and some fries while the shrooms were simmering. I made little sliders because I have never had a slider, and I feel really late on the trends. I'm in love with this dish. The mushrooms are meaty, and much more filling than jackfruit. And the texture is perfect. I hate saying meaty, because I really don't desire meaty, but it's go oomph. I prefer oomph to meaty. This is a perfect meal for a mixed crowd, I feel like this would appeal to non vegans.

Simmering away!

Sliders and fries!

If you see these mushrooms, I really recommend trying this. These sliders were really filling, and so tasty. The mushrooms are called King Oyster or trumpet mushrooms.
Happy Friday!
