So you may have noticed my absent for the past few weeks. What happened? Well, a few things: work- which you all know about, has slowly chipped away at my soul and energy, for one. Also, I have been using the recipes I have discovered over and over again- because they are so easy, and so good. Therefore I will take this time to link some fabulous little ingredients that have become staples in my house, and are just gosh darn fun.1: Better than cream cheese by Tofutti It's true! This stuff is purely awesome. I buy it two tubs at a time now because my husband slathers it on his bagels like peanut butter. I recommend bagels with tomato slices topping the Tofutti.
2: Sour Supreme by Tofutti
This is the same concept, but for sour cream. I tried it for the first time the other day on tacos, and it was very much like the real thing. I have never been a fan of sour cream, basically because of the fat content and the reaction my tummy has with it, but this stuff is great!
3. Speaking of tacos, no taco would be complete without Morning Star Farms' crumbles. What I have been doing is cooking the "meat" in a frying pan with a bit of oil, then adding water with some taco seasonings. Once the water has evaporated, you have delicious tasting crumbles. I layer the shell with crumbles, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, avocado and lemon juice. I am turning into quite the fan of the lemon. Good stuff.
4. And lastly, my favorite. Soy ice cream by Turtle Mountain. Just wow. The fudge and coffee flavor was so good I ate half the pint in one sitting (it had been a while since I could eat ice cream) and the vanilla is perfect for smoothies. If it's been a while since you have had soy ice cream, give it another chance, as it is very good now.
