Thumbs Up!

 

I know not everyone loved Trader Joe's original vegan shreds, but I didn't mind them as long as they were heated of course. They were much cheaper than other vegan shreds for a similar result. I didn't see the vegan shreds the last time I went to Trader Joe's, and I think these are the updated version of those shreds. 

I made some stuffed shells the other night and used some of these shreds in my tofu ricotta and of course topped the shells with more. It melted very nicely, and doesn't liquefy the way the old shreds did. I like them and will definitely buy again!



I've been hearing so many great things about this simple truth cookie dough, and let me tell you, the hype is deserved! These taste like the buttery tollhouse cookies my grandma used to make. Absolutely delicious, ten out of ten will buy again!


 

 Several stores in my area carry Vegan Rob's puffs, but I've never been able to find the crisps until now! Sprouts has the cauli crisps, dragon, and turmeric crisps. These are tasty, but I do like the puffs better. To me, the puffs replicate the puff experience, and while these are similar to Pringles, I do wish they were a bit saltier. I still would buy again, especially when I'm craving pringles!


Sprouts had Boca products on clearance, so I scored some crumbles for under two dollars a bag! Of course I had to make boca and black bean tacos! I topped them with a slaw made with vegan mayo and green dragon sauce. Delicious! I am team flour tortilla all the way!


Last night I made one of my favorite meals from way back before I went gluten free! Garlic, kale, salt, pepper, and lots of crushed red pepper sauteed and tossed with linguini!! I haven't had this meal in three years! It's so easy and tasty, not to mention super cheap to make!


I'm sure I've mentioned these before, but they deserve all the love! These are one of my favorite after dinner treats. They aren't super sweet, and the crunch is addictive!!

  1. I love those Vegan Robs pringles, though I think the turmeric ones are my favourite. The cauliflower ones are nice, but very mild.

  2. Huh, I really liked the Trader Joe's vegan shreds! You just had to make sure to get them hot enough. Cheese shouldn't hold its shape when melted, I think, but maybe that's just me.

  3. I was wondering why I wasn't able to find vegan cheese at TJ's on my last few trips! I'm glad it's back! I always liked their cheese okay. Daiya is still fave shred (I know I'm in the minority there!). Your shells looks so good!
