I finally broke down and tried whippable soy topping. I have picked it up and passed it up a half dozen times. It was not until I was going to create the Peach Galette that the Soyatoo! whipped topping seemed critical. It feels unfathomable to have pie or Galette without a la mode or whipped topping. The […]

Love is in the air and this time it is for a new sparkling water. La Croix has dazzled me with the most delicious water I have ever had the pleasure of sipping (gulping). It is a coconut essence sparkling water and it comes in a case of 8 cans. I found it while wandering […]

It is organic, sprouted sunflower seeds in various flavors; I have tried and loved both the Sweet Curry and Teriyaki but they have several, including Cocoa Mole. Yum. Last night I sprinkled some of the Teriyaki onto our biggie salad and it added […]

For the 14 years I was a vegetarian before becoming vegan I feared giving up ice cream. I was of course fearful without having all the information for I did not know how unbelievable non dairy ice cream could be. There are so many flavors and varieties available that I have really been enjoying trying […]

Imagine a natural product with a fragrance so sleep inducing that almost before you could set the bottle on the nightstand you were in full REM sleep. That is the new linen spray from CT Soaps and Candles. I bought one for Sandy several months ago and she is addicted to it the way you […]

The night before last a friend came over for dinner. She brought the most unbelievable bottle of sparkling water with her. It looked like something you would consume if you were having dinner with Portia and Ellen. The flavor was ginger lemon peel and it really blew my mind. The next day I looked for […]
