Food for Thought’s Great Lakes Pear Preserves (product link not exactly what I have, but looks similar) is organic and comes in a small jar. The jar I purchased was of a small batch of only 140 jars. The preserves are this sort of ochre-ish color and are chunky. It looks as advertised: cooked down…

Another Violife product! This time vegan feta. It’s not very feta-like at all, but it still tastes good. It comes as a solid block and it can kind of be chunked/shredded easily. It’s sort of firm but supple. Doesn’t have a strong flavor, but the unctuous texture/experience makes it really work. Definitely wouldn’t be a…

This vegan mozzarella from Violife come as a bag of shreds rather than a full chunk of fake mozzarella like the Miyoko’s Mozzarella from way back. It is made from coconut oil, starches, and some other stuff. Coming as shreds, it is much easier to top pizzas with due to that convenience factor. It didn’t…

This stuff, Tennessee’s Best Very Berry Jam, despite its name, doesn’t have an over powering berry flavor, but that’s not a problem at all. I can’t say if it’s Tennessee’s Best, but it is quite delicious. It tastes good without being cloying. The lack of overpowering sweet/berry flavor was a major plus in my book.…

Lightlife Smart Dogs are plant based hot dogs. For some reason the mood to have hot dogs struck me, so we picked these up. They were really easy to cook. The instructions gave boil, grill, or microwave options, but we opted to boil them then finished them in the pan. The texture was soft and…

This creamy chive vegan cheese is not the first Miyoko’s cashew milk cheese product I’ve reviewed: I had Miyoko’s Cashew Milk Mozzarella before and thought it was pretty good. This is a very different type of product, though, but also good. It is more of an acquired taste, however, due to its strong chive flavor.…

I picked up a pack of Primal Spirit Vegan Jerky on Amazon after a friend mentioned them. The pack contained six different flavors of vegan jerky from the company, but I’m only reviewing five of them (I am not reviewing the Thai Peanut flavor). They all come in the same tight packaging…which I hated. It…

This is my first foray into the vegan egg world. I have long seen the Just Egg bottle looming on grocery shelves and now I have finally decided to try it out. I just needed to know what it was like. I’m not fully vegan and probably won’t ever be as I love eggs. But…maybe…

I had previously reviewed Miyoko’s Cultured Vegan Butter made with cashew and coconut oil. It was really good and we’ve gotten more of it since trying it. Then we recently tried Miyoko’s Oat Milk vegan butter alternative. It comes in a tub instead of a block and is less expensive for more butter. The texture…
