Look what I saw at Smith's! Kroger/Fred Meyer/Smith's is making their own vegan and organic ice cream! It's almond based and I saw three flavors, chocolate, butter pecan(?!!) and vanilla. It's only $3.29 a pint which is way less than any vegan ice cream I've seen. I've had a few of the simple truth products, they're also making their own kombucha and I've always been satisfied. I will probably be trying the chocolate this week. It seems like all I want at the end of the day is a frozen treat!
Speaking of frozen treats, I finally got the fruit frenzy frozen bars from Trader Joe's, and you guys WOW. I am obsessed with these. I remember seeing them on Sarah's
blog last summer. and I never got around to trying them, but man I LOVE them. If you haven't tried them, you need to!!!
The first part is my favorite, it's raspberry, then lemon which is sooooooo good, and then strawberry. The raspberry is sweet and a little tart, the lemon is tart and then the strawberry is a sweet treat at the end. Man I love these, expect to see them on a lot of my hauls. They're so refreshing at the end of a long, desert hot day.
This beauty was my dinner last night. A tofu rice veggie bowl with peanut sauce. Lots of spinach and cucumber with Jasmine rice and baked tofu. I really love meals like this with different temperatures and textures in every bite. And what isn't better with peanut sauce!
So yesterday morning I'm sitting in my new chair as I blog and stuff, and every time I would get up Roxy would steal my spot. She is notorious for that. Well, Afro decided to join in on the thievery and look at that epic glare she's getting from Roxy!! They got into a slap fight seconds after the picture. Roxy gets in her moods where she is not to be messed with!
And here is another picture of sweet Louie. His dad wanted me to send a picture of him because he misses him during the day. How awesome is that!!! Louie is like my Etta in that he does not want to pose or cooperate at all! This is mid yawn. Look at my sweaty legs all imprisoned in long pants because of my stupid rash! Anyway today is the last day of the festival, so Louie will be headed back to Austin tonight or tomorrow. I will miss his little face and his total strut!
Good job for Roxy it was Afro and not Brutus ;) Louie is very cute, what a shame he is gong home. I hope more dog walking clients come along soon. The frozen treats all sound great. That is fantastic about the own brand ice cream and that it's organic too! Look forward to hearing your review.
ReplyDeleteRoxy and Brutus have gotten into it a few times and it's always nasty. I'm glad Brutus doesn't come out often.
DeleteI miss little Louie. I wish he lived here so I could see him every day.
I can't wait to try the ice cream too!!
Louie is sooo cute! I love it when I hear about people loving their animals as much as we do. Looking forward to hearing about the Kroger/Smith's ice cream. I don't have a kroger near me anymore, but loved to coupon there when I lived by one! Those popsicles look awesome. Your meal bowl looks yummy too. So cute about the cats. I'm going to put a picture of my cats on Twitter later so you can see them. Just can't figure out how to put a picture on here.
ReplyDeleteI love it too. When he asked me to send the picture, I was like, "ahh one of my people"
DeleteI can't wait to try the new vegan ice cream. It makes me happy to see new vegan things, especially at a decent price.
Can't wait to see your kitties!
Oh wow! I've seen these ice creams at Kroger and just assumed they were dairy. Didn't even bother to look at the labels. YAY!! I can't wait to try them now! Also that peanut sauce-rice-tofu bowl looks AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteI almost didn't look at it either. I assumed it was organic dairy ice cream. I can't wait to try them too!
DeletePeanut sauce is the BEST!
Yay!! Love that there are so many brands that are embracing dairy free ice cream flavors! What a great price too! I'm looking forward to seeing a review :) So glad you liked the fruit bars too!
ReplyDeleteThe fruit bars are amazing! I've already bought more!
DeleteI'm excited to try the ice cream too!
Awwww! Is that dog a full Chihuahua??? Frozen Treats, SCORE!
ReplyDeleteHe's part Chihuahua part dachshund. He is seriously so cute and sweet!
DeleteThat ice block sounds super yum! On a really hot day, I actually think fruity iced treats are better than creamy ones.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I haven't really been wanting creamy ice cream, I want fruity, tart frozen treats. More hydrating and refreshing I think.
DeleteThe ice pops sound fun with the different layers, and your bowl looks like a perfect summer dinner! The picture of Roxy and Afro on the chair is too funny -- Roxy's glare and Afro's innocent expression, haha!
ReplyDeleteThe ice pops are so good, I can't recommend them enough!
DeletePoor Afro had no idea what was coming her way!
