Almost Vegan

But look at these Prime Pastries Croissants, real croissants, and there are no dairy ingredients listed. Now there is a disclaimer on the back of the bag: MAY CONTAIN TRACE AMOUNTS OF MILK INGREDIENTS. But I was so curious as to how they tasted, I was willing to take that risk. (I’m almost vegan for God’s sake)
They are really tasty.
Am I bad, you think…?

An Almost Vegan reader sent me this email today, which I very much appreciate. He is a programmer and IT guy, I could tell this by his website which I found at the end of his email address –> Joey’s Site.

Hey there, don’t know if you’ve ever heard of Dixie Diner’s Club or not but check it out: http://www.dixiediner.com

I found it when looking for some vegetarian sloppy joe mix(and found vegan!). I haven’t had much from there, but the chicken nuggets aren’t bad, and the sloppy joe mix can’t be beat!

A note for the chicken nuggets though, get some barbecue sauce from the store, don’t use the dip that comes with it.
Thought I’d let you know! Love the site by the way!

Thanks so much, Joey.

The Original Boca Burgers are vegan, and not a bad tasting burger.

You have to be careful with Boca and Morning Farms especially. I always want to eat their stuff, but much of Boca has cheese in it and almost all of Morning Farms has egg inside.
Boca’s stuff is fairly well marked.
I was out to lunch with a client that would not really get or (I think) appreciate vegan. (nice guy though) He took me to Bennigans and I was so happy to see a Boca Burger on the menu I jumped at it.
It was really, really good. Very thick and juicy. Now maybe Bennigans just cooks them extremely well or…maybe they serve the Boca Burgers with cheese in them.
I realized they have 2 different kinds later and I don’t have the heart to call up Bennigans and ask. Oh well, no big deal either way, but I really wanted that burger to be vegan.

I made Uncle Ben’s Rice Pudding, using soy milk and soy margarine (optional), tonight and it was extra special.

My one complaint/suggestion: Put in more raisins, there are no where near enough included in the box.
Good and easy to make and completely vegan.
Happy New Year Everyone!

I love this stuff!

If you haven’t tried it, go out before the holidays are over and get some Silk Nog. It is better than the real thing!
Available at Wal-Mart.

This year my family is stopping by on Sunday and I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna make them eat vegan. (Don’t tell them, it’s a surprise!)
But I am going to make Green Been Casserole…Vegan Style. Now I can pull this off, (I think) even with them cause low and behold French’s Original French Fried Onions are vegan!

But here’s the twist…

Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup is not vegan, though Imagine’s Creamy Portobello Mushroom Soup is, but not condensed. I am going to play with the ratio of soy milk to mushroom soup and see how it goes…I’ll let you know.
Happy Holidays!!!!!

These Barbbara’s Bakery, Shredded Oats, Vanilla Almond are great. I taste-tested them in my health food store and then grabbed them.

Very healthy and very delicious. Vegan food from Canada.

The Vegan’s vegan cookies. Very famous with vegan’s in the know.


Cowboy Cookies
<div style=

Frontier Cookies

Peanut Butter Classics

Ginger Snapdragons

Cowgirl Cookies

I was introduced to Liz Lovely Cookies by a regular visitor to Almost Vegan, Danielle (her blog – joeparadox.com), who I suspect is twice the vegan I am judging from the tips and recipes she sends me.
Baking a Difference in the World

Liz & Dan Holtz create their vegan masterpieces in Vermont. They don’t ship all over the USA yet and their cookies are in very high demand. I talked them into sending me some, because they don’t sell them here in Michigan.
Well, it is not just hype. These are really incredible cookies. Obviously hand made (like it says on the bag) and really tasty. Very generously coated with chocolate on the back, (Cowboy, Cowgirl and Peanutbutter) and choc full of all kinds of great things except trans-fats so eat up!
Find out more about Liz Lovely on their — really nice website.

Oh God, are these good…

Back when I ate creatures I used to go to a little sushi joint in Chicago on Division called New Japan. It was a very small, very quaint hole in the wall, but they had the best food and I always got pot stickers.
I found these Health is Wealth Potstickers and thought I’d give them a try and they are incredible. Bake them in the oven (only 10 minutes). I made up a little hot mustard soy sauce dip and YEOW.

These Mad Moose Organics’, Creature Cookies are lots of fun and extremely tasty!

100% vegan.
You know, I went to their site and it seems like these cookies are made for kids, but I got them for myself and ate them, and I’d do it again. I like the fun cartoon creatures on them.
Vanilla wafers, banana wafers, and chocolate wafers all with chocolate-fudge filling. Yum.
