    well my favorite vegan food product WAS the health is wealth chicken free nuggets...but the recipe has been changed to "enhance flavor" by adding egg albumin. They were GREAT before. Now they even have 50 calories more per serving.

    I'm obsessed with bushes vegetarian baked beans...no other brand comes close

    tofutti fudgesicles

    omg I could go on forever...i like so many different vegan food products!

    near east creative grains roasted pecan and garlic flavor

    www.neareast.com

    fantastic foods sloppy joe mix

    hip whip...its really not THAT great but im addicted

    tofutti used to have this really great frozen supreme flavor called plum crazy OMG SOOOO GOOD they dont make it anymore...I basically love all vegan frzen desserts

    organic food bars almond flax bar

    sweet dreams, smores, cranberry oatmeal luna bars

    DOTS!!

    I really dont eat all this junk all the time..these are just some of my favorite products aside from things that arent already prepared ...ill probably post again when I think of more lol

    I'm not sure if it would freeze and thaw well but maybe you can try with a carton of regular silk and let us know the results.

    I wouldn't want to see you waste a precious drop of that lovely silk nog in experiements.

    You can make soy milk nog by adding soy lecithin and spices. I've made a nog like drink from simple bitter soy milk, soy lecithin, succant, and cinnamon. It's good.

    I like earth balance
    Soy cream (I stopped eating tofuti after I tried soy cream)
    Haig's Hummus
    Haig's Baba Ghannouge
    Maranatha raw and cooked nut butters
    Tropical Source chocolate
    kettle chips

    Hmm, amy's is good, but so many dishes are vegetarian and not vegan, but the 'dairy free' labeled ones are often vegan.

    I am pretty sure they now say vegan on the back right before the ingredients are listed.

    Amy's brand does make some tasty TV dinner style meals. I recently tried the samosas and they werre great. I also like their breakfast burritos.

    There's an odd thing here. Even new amy's premade meals sometimes are vegan but don't have the '(vegan)' marking in the ingredients, yet have no animal products in them. I've even picked up the same meal a couple weeks later and found the '(vegan)' marking on the ingredients, and it's not there when I return. Out of paranoia I've compared the two and they have the exact same ingredients. I don't know what the deal is, I wish it was always there because it makes purchasing pretty easy when it says vegan right on it. Then again I have no business eating pre-made dinners...

    Okay I have to complain a little here. I LOVE earth balance. But I couldn't find any at the store, so I got this other vegan stuff, figuring "it's all the same, right?" No! This stuff is weird. It doesn't melt, and it's all rubbery. It's called Spectrum Natural Spreads. NEVER get it!!!

    I already posted this in the brownie thread but I'll post it here as well, Allison's Gourmet makes the most delicious organic, vegan caramels and chocolates (which my husband gave me for Mother's Day ) as well as cookies and brownies which I haven't tried yet. When I say their caramel/chocolates were delicious, I mean better than any non-vegan ones that I ever had in my pre-vegan days and I used to work at a Swiss speciality store in London, UK that sold all sorts of high-end Swiss, French and Belgium chocolates. I, of course, had to sample a few hundred of them during my 6-month's there but as I said, Allison's is much, much better.

    It's summer again so my favorite food is soy ice cream. Especially Soy Delicious. I was thinking about ordering Dulce de Leche through my health food store 'cause they don't carry that flavor. But the cashier told me I would have to buy it in a package of 6 quarts. Hmmmmmm......I think I'll do it anyway.

    Other than that right now I definitley love pita's w/veganaise and any veggies I set my mind on.
    From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.

    I like Peelu Dental Chewing Gum and it's vegan!! I checked with the company and the label says it's cruelty-free. No artificial sweeteners either. A bit hard to find though, only at health food stores.

    Well, I used Nayonaise...Soynaise...all kinds of yucky stuff, and I thought that's just how vegan mayos taste like, I better get used to it. I was about to give up before I hit on Vegenaise. Tomorrow I'll make a yummy potato salad with the stuff!

    You can, it does work on everything. Follow Your Heart, the makers of Vegannaise and Vegan Gourmet cheese deserve a nobel prize.

    I think Vegannaise tastes better than traditional mayo. I don't like Nayonaise to me it tastes like Miracle Whip which I never liked. I agree with you on the Vegan Gourmet mozzarella. Very good. I has Ezekieal 4:9 bread yesterday for the first time. I toasted it with Earth Balance. It was drop dead awesome.
    What I think is cool is that I never would have tried these really good products if I hadn't become vegan. Omni's are missing out.
    I actually brought some Earth Balance to a barbeque at my parent's house my mom put it on some rice, and no one noticed the difference between it and butter.

    Ok, I found some amazing things in America:

    Larabars - I only liked the ginger, cherry pie and cashew cookie.
    Alternative Bakers Cookies - double chocolate was the best, but I loved the cranberry orange one as well as the peanut butter choc chip
    Soy Delicious Cookie Avalanche (which we now have in Australia)
    Forget the company, but raw walnut butter is amazing!

    Annie's Goddess Dressing can be put on anything, giving it a tangy--almost cheesy--taste. I love to steam spinach, put it on some rice, and mix in the Goddess Dressing. It's heavenly. It's also great on steamed asparagus.

    I shop at a big Asian food store. It has all these crazy vegan meat products: duck, shrimp, prawn, salmon, scallops, squid, etc. The duck is wonderful and the scallops cannot be believed. I adore them. I haven't tried the salmon or the squid yet.

    Other good stuff:
    Alternative Baking Company coookies (espresso chip and pumpkin spice, esp.)
    Cowgirl Cookies
    Near East couscous mixes (for those times when I need a quick dinner)
    Tofutti Cream Cheese
    Silk creamer
    peanut butter-filled pretzels--I forget the brand, but I can find out
    Tamarind Tree Indian meals (not all are vegan, but at least three are)
    Sharon's sorbets (the coconut is out of this world; Edy's sorbets are almost as good but often too sweet)

    Mostly, I cook a lot of whole foods for myself. The products I've listed are for quick meals and snacks.

    Cheers,
