a place for vegan food
We all make mistakes, except in this case, where I MADE A MISTAKE. Nobody was injured, but I accidentally ordered a non vegan item from Donna's Pizza of Saddle Brook, NJ, which caterers to both vegans and non vegans alike. AND I didn't check the receipt. Which I received via email. All I had to… Continue reading I blew it. Donna’s Pizza of Saddle Brook NJ fixed it.
While not a complete vegan shop, Jack's Cafe has a competitive vegan menu. Located at 669 Westwood Ave, River Vale, NJ 07675, Jack's Cafe features both vegan breakfast and lunch. You can find their menu on their website here. I personally had the Chipotle Chicken Bakin sandwich and I enjoyed it so much that I'm… Continue reading Jack’s Cafe & Market (River Vale, NJ) review
So... I forgot to take pictures of our Tofurky Plant-Based Holiday Feast. The rendering on the box is pretty accurate, so I guess that'll have to do. And now, PREPARE YOURSELF! A complete and total lack of enthusiasm follows. (Which probably explains why I didn't think to take pictures.) When it comes to prep, MAKE… Continue reading Tofurky Plant Based Holiday Feast review
I'm glad these exist. Vegan pet products can be hard to find. Maybe I'm just a cynical middle-aged man, but since my dogs don't know who Snow White or Crush are I realize this is just to entice me to purchase them but in an underserved market, it's pretty superfluous... Ugh, the future is complicated!… Continue reading Disney Corporation sells vegan dog treats
After following this video to turn our pumpkins into puree https://youtube.com/shorts/Tj6Pgg4fWBE?si=dYCz4CGI1lN-OMG4 I then followed this video to fry the pumpkin seeds rather than bake them https://youtube.com/shorts/e4WfGxiheoM?si=psaNI4pZKwttunC0 I used less oil and I seasoned with salt pepper and rosemary. I put the rosemary in immediately with the sesame oil. I'm super happy with how they turned… Continue reading Fried pumpkin seeds
You never know when you're going to find an accidently vegan item at Trader Joe's. Hotteok, as the packaging explains, is a traditional Korean street snack.
I finally wandered into Uptown Coffee Co on Pleasant Ave in Maywood, NJ. This casual coffee shop has a number of vegan options and deceptively comfy chairs. Today (I'm not sure if this is always the case), they have two vegan muffin options and a vegan roasted tomato soup. Pretty nice! They also have a… Continue reading Uptown Coffee Co, Maywood NJ
A fridge too far In most instances in life, there's a proverbial line. When it's crossed, I'm gonna make a thing about it - especially when it's in the name of profits. Look, you can't convince me that a frozen breakfast burrito, even one that's Just Egg based, is worth $6.79. On sale for $5.69?… Continue reading I love Just Egg BUT I won’t pay $6.79 for a frozen breakfast burrito
I'm rarely in need of fast food. And just to be clear, I'm an out of touch middle-aged man. However, I am on TikTok and the internet in general, but even that did not truly prepare me for the greed-flation and shrinkflation at Burger King, a one two punch from which I am still reeling.… Continue reading Burger King Impossible Burger meal price and small vs medium
The previous version on the left had, I think, been a victim of its own cleverness. We get what a Just Egg is, of course, but the new packaging on the right eliminates this problem. Now, it clearly does what it says on the box. Also, Just Egg is fantastic and I love it.
