During this morning's Whole Foods shopping spree (during which I picked up a few delicious baking ingreds for Gitana's wedding), I decided to test a few new food items:
Blackwell's Organic Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Gelato. This stuff is gluten free, cholesterol free, dairy free, and vegan (oh, and they don't mention this on the packaging, but its also delicious). By the time I got home from the store, the gelato was perfectly soft and melty - of course, it was necessary to take a few bites before tucking it into the freezer for a rainy day. (NB: this had more of an icy/sorbet texture than a creamy texture. My favorite [store-available] vegan ice cream stands to be Temptation's chocolate chip cookie dough. It's tastier and creamier than it's regular dairy counterpart, I swear!)
Asherah's Gourmet Protein Powerhouse Vegan Burgers. I got to try a sample from Asherah herself, who was manning the tasting table. Made from organic quinoa and organic vegetables, these burgers are chock full of nutrients and leave you feeling wholesomely full. (Unfortunately they're only available at local grocery stores and restaurants!)
SoyBoy Roasted Red Pepper & Tofu Ravioli. I'm making it for the 'rents for dinner tonight. I bet TequilaDad won't even be able to distinguish the difference between tofu and ricotta cheese after his signature happy hour glass of Old Smuggler Scotch Whiskey ;)
*UPDATE: I made the vegan burger for lunch today. As per Asherah's suggestion, I prepared it in a whole wheat wrap with hummus, lettuce, tomato... Delish! Between Asherah's burgers and the desserts at Vegan Treats, it might be worth making a trek to Suburbia, PA after all!
