This is my first vegan bacon product and my first from Hooray Foods. This vegan bacon product is soy free and gluten free. I was interested to see how this vegan bacon would turn out. As a kid, I really liked bacon. I was intrigued to see how the texture and taste would come across…

I tried this Kimchi from Sinto Gourmet, even though historically I’ve not been into Kimchi, because it said it was mild and I needed probiotic foods. It is…not mild enough. My body rejected it. It is still Kimchi, maybe mild, but it’s still very intense. This will not sway people who were not into Kimchi…

This is not a product I would normally buy. However, I was on antibiotics so I wanted to get something probiotic. Then when looking at Imperfect Foods I see this vegan, cashewmilk yogurt from Forager and…was intrigued and also it fit the bill. Not real dairy but with probiotics. Worked for me. But…did it work…

I picked up this vegan fake turkey deli meat option from the Simple Truth brand to use with sandwiches. Shocking, I know. I had it primarily with Daiya cheddar cheese slices, lettuce, tomato, and honey mustard on rye bread. The vegan cheddar (plus the mustard) brought the flavor and it brought the body to make…

Gindo’s Lemon Serrano Hot Sauce is a punchy hot sauce with a gritty spice. The lemon doesn’t really come through that much but the Serrano definitely does. It has that textured spice to it but adds a semi-sweetness to food. It’s pretty good. I’d rate it in the middle of the pack as far as…

This is a sort of blast from the past review! Over five years ago did I last review an Askinosie product. My first review of their product was of their Askinosie’s Tanzania Dark Chocolate bar and then I did their Licorice chocolate bar. Wow! And now I’m reviewing their Intelligentsia collaboration: a dark chocolate bar…

Cheeze & Thank You is a Chicago based artisanal vegan cheese shop. We picked up a wedge of their vegan Mustard Seed Smoked Gouda as an experiment from a local Whole Foods. When I ate real cheese, gouda was a big favorite of mine…so I was intrigued. It did not disappoint at all! Cheeze &…

Imperfect Foods has its own brand of bread so I decided to pick up some of their 7 Sprouted Whole Grain bread. I tried it with fried egg sandwiches, Miyoko’s vegan butter, and strawberry jelly. It worked the least well with butter—the other two it complimented very well with. It’s a hearty, robust bread with…

Due to strange appetite circumstances, I picked up Miyoko’s Creamery Vegan Butter. This is my first vegan butter review but not the first product from Miyoko’s I’ve reviewed. I wasn’t ever that much of a butter person, but I really wanted some in my strange appetite state. The idea of it on potatoes and bread…

This Gindo’s hot sauce is a brilliant red hue. Looking at its contents and what it says it’ll taste like (“deliciously sweet and spicy”)—I knew this would be a winner. Spicy and sweet? Nothing fancy or crazy going on? It had all the makings of a strong, versatile hot sauce. Something that can go with…
