I went to Natural Grocers and Trader Joe's yesterday. I did not want to be anywhere near Trader Joe's on the Saturday before Mother's Day!! I wish I could afford to get all my groceries at Natural Grocers. The aisles are big and wide and they're never super busy. They also play the best music. It's always very relaxing to shop there. But some of their prices really stress me out!
I got the pink Himalayan bath salts for my coworker who suffers from eczema. I'm trying to help her heal her little hands! The soy curls and Epsom salts are for me. Afro wouldn't stop circling these three things as you can see. They love the bags that the Epsom salts come in for some strange cat reason.

I'm so mad at myself for grabbing the Ezekiel wraps. For some reason I compared them to the gluten free rice tortillas and they seemed more flexible. But the problem is Ezekiel wraps and bread are not gluten free so I am a total spazz. If I'm going to have gluten I would have preferred to go all the way with regular flour tortillas. Like I always say vegan is super easy, gluten free is a total pain in my arse!!
This was my treat for making it out alive! Last week I tried the lemon last week so I decided to try the blackberry. Delicious!
I had some soy curls for dinner last night. I marinated the curls in a mixture of hoisin, soyaki, sambal oelek, crushed red pepper and a little tamari. While the rice cooked I baked them in the same dish I used to marinate them. After tofu soy curls are my favorite soy product. They're so easy to work with and they have a great texture. And they are just like tofu in that they absorb all the flavors!
Sometimes yogi tea freaks me out. I always love the quotes on the bags but some days it's scary how much I needed to read what is on my tea bag!
It's been a really weird spring here in SLC. One day it's almost ninety, then two days later you see snow. Last night dipped down in the forties so I turned my heat on this morning to bring the temps up and Joan made sure the extra room got none of the heat!
Love the Ezekiel breads.Wish we got the wraps.Protein cookies are pretty yummy too.We have a 7-11 up here that sells them.I have not tried the soy curls yet only place I can get those up here is online or I have to go into the city.Really nice haul tho.😉
ReplyDeleteThe wraps are pretty good. This was my first time trying them. They are pretty flexible.
DeleteI only like the chocolate chocolate chip and the regular chocolate chip. The other flavors are too protein powdery for me.
I hope you get to try the soy curls sometime!!
You can return anything to trader joe’s if you don’t want the wraps. GF is certainly no fun, but ya gotta do what you gotta do to take care of yourself! Hope you got a good watermelon :))
ReplyDeleteOur weather in nyc is also whacko, some days in the high 70s and then today and tomorrow rainy and 50s.
Your soy curl dinner sounds delicious! It’s so weird but I can’t find them in nyc and have never bothered to order online since that’s multiple packages.

I thought about returning them, but since I only go there once a week it just seemed like a hassle to make an extra trip. I actually used them last night for some quesdadillas an I actually liked them!
DeleteI've been having good luck with watermelon so far, so I hope that streak continues! How was yours?
That's a shame you can't find soy curls. They're so good. I hope they start selling them in more stores. I'm surprised Whole Foods doesn't carry them!
Hello Fellow Vegan Friend,
ReplyDeleteThere's a new Crunchy, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Vegan & Budget-Friendly snack in town. A snack that loves you as much as you'll love it. Love Corn is out now! I hope you'll get a chance to try it!
Your soy curls dinner looks so good! Sweet Joan!
ReplyDeleteIs Joan lying over the entire vent?
ReplyDeleteI love soy curls, but we don't get them here. Something similar, but not quite as good. I have a stash of soy curls in my freezer from the US that I am hoarding away, though I really just need to start eating them and enjoying them!
