Sometimes I forget that not everyone knows the same things I do. When one of my friends recently told me she was trying to make more plant based choices in her diet, she asked for a list of brands to look for while shopping. That question prompted my 15 meatless brands blog post. When I looked at my YouTube statistics recently I noticed my review of the Gardein Holiday Roast was one of my more popular recent videos. All I did was cook it on camera. This all got me thinking that I need to …

Meatless Monday: Trader Joes sweet potato fries review
If you love fries and you like sweet potatoes then combine the two with these Sweet Potato fries from Trader Joes. I really prefer to make my own from real sweet potatoes to bake in the oven but sometimes life and time dictate that opening a bag and throwing food into an oven is quicker. So I always have a bag of these on hand. Note the servings size, which means 5 servings per bag. I'll tell you that's bullshit. A serving of fries is TEENY TINY. Nobody eats that few fries, least of all …

Review: Trader Joe’s Corn Pasta
As I've mentioned I've been trying new products over the last couple of months in an effort to avoid wheat, one of the products I tried was this corn pasta from Trader Joe's. I don't get any compensation from Trader Joe's I just want to share my opinion on the products I'm trying whether it be fitness, food, health, beauty or pet products. So here is my review on Trader Joe's corn pasta. I have to admit that Trader Joe's could have been selling this for YEARS, but I tend to get …
Review: Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Brown Rice Bread
So I've mentioned how I'm trying to be wheat free. Over the last year I've noticed that I definitely react to wheat. When I ingest wheat I bloat, like a balloon, it's not only unsightly it's damn uncomfortable! As such I've been looking to some wheat flour alternatives to bread and pasta. So today I thought I'd review the Gluten Free multigrain brown rice bread from Trader Joes. This bread like all things gluten free is more expensive than regular wheat based products, this small loaf is …
Review: Trader Joes Lentil Soup
Nothing solves cold winter weather like SOUP! Usually I'd make soup but sometimes you just don't have time (or energy/ingredients on hand) so soup in a can is a food alternative when you are on the go, go, go! Recently I tried the new Trader Joe's lentil soup and thought I'd write a little review :) Your can may not come with attached dog nose ;) Love how River used to photo bomb with her nose! I love the design of the can :) Just doesn't look like a soup can. It feels very …
Review: Trader Joes Soy Yogurt
So recently I tried to go vegan, I've been vegetarian for 20 years and figured it was time to take the final push. That didn't work out so well but we tried some new foods and I figured they deserved a proper burial review. I reviewed the cultured coconut yogurt milk previously and this was the other desert option I tried. Listed as Vegan and Gluten free right on the container this Soy Yogurt caught my eye immediately on our vegan shopping trip. I picked up this large 24oz vanilla, and a couple …
Review: Trader Joes Cultured Coconut Milk
Todays post I thought I would do a review of a product I picked up recently at my grocery store mecca (Trader Joes). Anyone else love that place as much as I do? Seriously, much love!!! Anyway as we've been trying to make a few changes at home to a more vegan way of eating (more on that at the end of the month when I do a recap) I was in full lookie loo mode grocery shopping last week and spied these 'new' products in the chiller cabinet! Well they were new to me, I guess if you don't look for …
