Since I’m trying to eat more plant-based things this year, I decided to try Violife Plant Butter (salted). I got to try in a couple of nights ago when I took some to a potluck party I was attending. I was expecting it to taste more like margarine, but was pleasantly surprised that it tasted…

Gardein – Chick’n Filets, Ultimate, Plant-Based, Spicy
For 2024 I’m going to try and eat less meat and switch to more of a plant-based diet. Today I tried a new product (to me) called Gardein – Chick’n Filets with the spicy flavor. I was dubious about eating something pretending to be chicken since past products of this nature tasted horrible. This product…
Lundberg Brown Rice Couscous
Since I’ve been making a lot of middle eastern meals, I was bummed that I could serve couscous with them due to my husband’s gluten sensitivity. Luckily, I’m savvy enough to search the internet….certainly there was a product on the market…I was sure I wasn’t the only one wanting such a product. And there was…Lundberg, my…
Daiya Non-Dairy Cream Cheese
I just discovered that Daiya has a cream cheese! Tonight, while shopping at Whole Foods, I saw it next to the regular cream cheese. I bought the chive and onion flavor and I’m currently having a late night snack of a bagel with the faux cream cheese. Yum! If you have been missing cream cheese,…
Amy’s Kitchen Vegan Margherita Pizza
Finally…a pizza that cures my craving and tastes like a real cheese pizza! Having a dairy allergy really sucks when it comes to cheese. I adore cheese and this is the one thing I really miss. Recently, I found a vegan pizza from Amy’s Kitchen that uses the Daiya cheese (see my previous review). I…
Living Without Magazine
If you have any kind of food allergy, I highly recommend a magazine called Living Without. It’s not just for those with gluten allergies, but covers a wide range of food allergies. In each issue, in the back, there is a list of foods and what you can use for substitutions. They have recipes in…
Suki’s Nanwiches
I spotted something new in the freezer section at Whole Foods the other day and thought I’d buy one to give it a try. It was a nanwich from Sukhi’s Gourmet Indian Foods. Actually, I bought two…the Chicken Tikka Masala Nanwich and the Tandoori Chicken Nanwich. This morning, I wasn’t interested in traditional breakfoods and…
Amy’s Kitchen Dairy Free Rice Macaroni & Cheeze
I just tried Amy’s Kitchen Dairy Free Rice Macaroni & Cheeze for the first time and have to give a two thumbs up! They have managed to find a non-dairy and non-soy cheddar flavored cheese that tastes pretty much like the real thing. I have been jonessing for mac ‘n cheese, but couldn’t find anything…
Ice Cream Goodness
One of the things I miss since I stopped eating dairy is ice cream. I tried some soy versions and they tasted horrible. Today, I tried a bar by So Delicious. It tasted so much like real ice cream that I could barely tell a difference. It was creamy and covered in chocolate…what more could…
Daiya Vegan Cheese
Cheese is the biggest thing I have missed since discovering my dairy allergy. Most of the rice or soy-based cheese I have tried tasted like plastic…until now. I recently bought some shredded pepper-jack vegan cheese from Daiya.It doesn’t exactly taste like real cheese if eaten raw. But it’s great if you melt it between a…
