    Wow, thanks so much. I've bought a few gluten-free pastas made with corn and rice flours and been pretty happy with them. Good enough for me, anyway! It says they only post products in the US at the moment but I'll definitely have a look out for quinoa pasta around here, 'cause I'd rather be eating quinoa than rice.

    Kale, quinoa, vegan sour cream (must...have...spinach dip), soy or almond milk, tofu and tempeh, steel cut oats, and miso paste. And of course fruits and veggies and the occasional pint of vegan ice cream.
    See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.

    The greatest mistake is to do nothing because you can only do a little.

    Question Help With Grocery List

    Hi! I am going shopping today, today is day 10 of my new lifestyle and I have made a lot of mistakes from not understanding labels, things like Vit D and other additives. I'd like a few ideas for some vegan must-haves in the kitchen, and some stay-away ideas as well. Grape Nuts are not vegan I was bummed. Anyway, any help is truly appreciated, thank-you all.

    I think everybody approaches food shopping differently. Some people plan meals before they go to the supermarket, others (like me!) pick up things that look yummy and try to figure out what to do with them!

    And another one for the 'misread topic titles' thread ..

    At first glance I though this one said 'foods that keep you on a regular basis'.

    I was expecting a topic about prunes.
    All done in the best possible taste ...

    I do not carry that long a list of staples. Soymilk, soy yogurt or pudding, tea, sugar, rice cakes, bread, vegan margarine, sunfower and olive oil, peanut butter, chocolate spread, chocolate sprinkles, potatoes, brown rice, pasta and noodles could be classified as items I always buy when run out of. Cucumber, bell peppers or tomatoes, endive or lettuce, apples and carrots are also bought every week, but most of that is eaten by our rabbit and guinea pigs. Vegetables and things like tofu or other meat alternatives vary every week. Depending on the type of week or my budget we buy a mix of fresh and frozen or just fresh. I seldom if ever buy in bulk.

    Lentils and instant oats (crushed up rolled oats no added sugar or anything). Nuts and seeds. I like sunflower seeds cause they seem to be the cheapest and almonds as I have read they are healthy. I don't really keep anything else as a staple. I used to keep rice all the time as well but I've found that I eat all together way to many grains as it is so I probably don't need to eat the rice for any nutrients or what ever and I never really liked it all that much anyway. If I had unlimited money id add frozen berries to the list but I dont and so only buy them when im feeling rich.

    Jars of pasta sauce
    Pasta (of various kinds - pasta addict!)
    Onions, peppers, tomatoes, garlic, mushrooms, cucumber
    Rice (I buy it in bulk in Indian supermarkets and keep a huge huge bag for months)
    Tortillas and packs of mexican seasoning and jars of salsa
    Sriracha
    Frozen peas
    Nori seaweed and sushi rice

    And I always keep a well stocked collection of dried herbs, spices, good quality natural sea salt, black pepper etc, as well as baking ingredients like plain flour.
