Snapea Crisps

Snapea Crisps by Snack Salad.

These tasty little treats come in two flavors, original and caesar. The original is vegan and the caesar is vegetarian. Being vegan, I have only had the original, but they are delicious. Another vegan treat that is hard to put down once you open the bag.
Check out Snack Salads website and show them some love.

Vegan Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips!!!

Can you believe it?? Yep, that's right! We said VEGAN Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips! They are made by the Cape Cod Company and are mighty tasty. In fact, we think they are better than any non-vegan s&v chips we've ever had!


The ingredients only consist of...Potatoes, Canola Oil, Maltodextrin, Sodium Diacetate, Vinegar Solids and Sea Salt. AMAZING! They are available at most grocery stores and you can buy in bulk, along with other cape cod products on their website www.capecodchips.com.
The only thing wrong with these chips is...once you start on a bag...it's hard to stop before they are all gone!

Let us know what you think - Thanks - Jenn and Kate

Kaya's Kitchen is a great vegan restaurant that does offer the choice of organic dairy cheese if you prefer. On our trip there we chose everything vegan. We had the Summer Salad, Chili, Pizza Burger, a Natural Soda - Regular flavor, and for dessert we had chocolate mint pie. Everything was FANTASTIC...well mostly. The Natural Soda and the Cucumber dressing left something to be desired. Everything else was so fantastic that we even took some chili home. It actually may be the best vegan chili I've ever had!

The location is a little remote and took a little driving around to find it tucked away in the midst of a little strip mall. It is totally worth it though, and I can't wait for my next visit there. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and with vegan goodness on the menu such as Shepard's Pie, BBQ Soy Drumsticks, and Vegan Beef Enchiladas, this place has something for every vegan craving.

If you stop by Kaya's Kitchen, tell them we said hi, and drop us a line to let us know what you think. Thanks - Jenn and Kate.

If these marshmallow treats look too good to be true, they aren't! They are delicious and 100% vegan, which we think is completely amazing! Made by Sweet and Sara (http://www.sweetandsara.com/), a vegan owned bakery out of Queens, NY they are available at several online stores, as well as at select WholeFoods stores in the NY, NJ, CT area. S&S have won several awards for their tasty treats, including 2006 product of the year from VegNews, and once we got a taste of them, it wasn't hard to see why. We sampled the peanut butter s'mores and the regular marshmallows and they tasted sooooooooo yummy! We picked them up at WholeFoods, and while they were a little bit on the pricey side ($4.99 for the s'mores and $6.99 for and 8.5 oz container of approx 14 marshmallows), the great taste and high quality-and support of a vegan company- made them well worth the extra loot. Now that we've found these little treasures, we want to try making our own treats and s'mores with the plain marshmallows-rice krispy treats anyone?-and we will most definately report on that. Who said veggies can't have super yummy treats?!? Check these out, you won't be sorry!

snacks!

in addition to veggie eateries, we have decided that we will also include some of our favorite foods, snacks, and other helpful things in this blog too. and being that we both LOOOOVE snacks, we're going to start featuring a snack of the week. it is a misconception that if you are vegetarian or vegan that there are less snacks to choose from or all you can eat is just fruit and nuts. sure, many things are off limits, but who really wants to eat gross and fatty junk food anyway? there are many healthy and yummy options (and some not quite as healthy!) available for all us veggies out there, and for this week, we bring you....

Robert's American Gourmet (http://www.robscape.com/) makes many snacks that are delicious and downright habit forming, and Vegan Booty is no exception! you can find this at most health food stores, whole foods, and even some regular grocery stores, but be warned, once you open the bag, you will have a hard time putting it down!

stay tuned for more snacks and info! thanks for reading!
