Food ramblings…
I brought home some Chicago Teese. The Nacho- flavored version made excellent nachos last night and the cheddar makes the best mac-n-cheese. I think Daiya is better for pizza, but Follow Your Heart will always have my heart for flavor. Althoooooough…have you ever had Sheese from Scotland? Their flavors and consistencies are pretty amazing…

My absolute favorite food item at the VegFest was the iddy-biddy “burger” served in a cup by Vita Cafe. YUM! I thought Gardein had the tastiest meat alternative and Luna & Larry’s had my favorite “ice cream.”

Let’s see, I guess I would be considered C) because I am a preggo veggie, even though ohmygoodness I haven’t used the term ‘parent’ yet! Crazy!

I would also say A) because although I have been a vegetarian for 5 years, I am currently starting my gradual change into veganism. Its so exciting!

A. I incorporate veggie cuisine into my noms. I eat less meat than I used to. Vegetarian food is nom-licious and my husband is curious about it.
