We picked this Skinny Butcher vegan chicken up at Costco after trying a sample of it. It is very good. So crispy—it has the perfect texture for fried chicken. It being called ‘Crazy Crispy Chick’n Breasts’ is absolutely on point. Taste is good standalone. We’ve been having it with salads. You can cook it in…

Lightlife Smart Dogs are plant based hot dogs. For some reason the mood to have hot dogs struck me, so we picked these up. They were really easy to cook. The instructions gave boil, grill, or microwave options, but we opted to boil them then finished them in the pan. The texture was soft and…

I picked up a pack of Primal Spirit Vegan Jerky on Amazon after a friend mentioned them. The pack contained six different flavors of vegan jerky from the company, but I’m only reviewing five of them (I am not reviewing the Thai Peanut flavor). They all come in the same tight packaging…which I hated. It…

This is my first vegan bacon product and my first from Hooray Foods. This vegan bacon product is soy free and gluten free. I was interested to see how this vegan bacon would turn out. As a kid, I really liked bacon. I was intrigued to see how the texture and taste would come across…

I picked up this vegan fake turkey deli meat option from the Simple Truth brand to use with sandwiches. Shocking, I know. I had it primarily with Daiya cheddar cheese slices, lettuce, tomato, and honey mustard on rye bread. The vegan cheddar (plus the mustard) brought the flavor and it brought the body to make…

This vegan chorizo is the first El Zapatista product that I’ve tried. I picked up it to get some vegan meat for pseudo-fajitas we cooked Easter weekend. I’ve had fake chorizo before, once I think, but it was not at all like this. The El Zapatista vegan chorizo comes in this really nice rectangular box…

I think this is the first Gardein product I’ve had. Or that I’m aware of, anyway. This is a plant-based jerky product that is more akin to real meat jerky than to the Louisville Vegan Jerky Co. products. It comes in the form of flat strips and chunks. Texturally, the Gardein jerky is sort of…

I originally reviewed the Louisville Vegan Jerky Co.’s Maple Bacon flavor….and my takeaway was that I enjoyed the product, but not the specific flavor. So here I am, trying a flavor that is more my speed: smoked black pepper! Yes, smoked black pepper…despite me saying the maple bacon was too smoky, I chose this flavor…

Lightlife is another plant-based food producer. They have a wide-range of plant-based meat substitutes. The substitute reviewed today is their Mexican Smart Ground product. I think it is supposed to mimic ground beef. Well, whatever it was meant for, we used it as the ‘meat’ in tacos. The texture was light, fluffy, and had a…

I am no stranger to Field Roast products, but I was a stranger to their vegan apple maple breakfast sausage. And to, I think, vegan breakfast sausage in general. I can’t think of another product I’ve tried like this. I remember real breakfast sausage fondly, so I was intrigued to try these out. Admittedly, the…
