The Laziest Vegans Top Ten Asks Leigh Saluzzi

Leigh Saluzzi is the co-owner Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe. Founded in 2005 with her husband Ken, Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe is one of the largest Vegan online stores in the world. From non-leather wallets to gelatin-free gummi worms, Cosmo's has everything a Vegan could want. So it's natural that Leigh has the inside scoop on the best of the best. When Leigh is not busy at work, she is raising her newborn baby Luka and attending any Tori Amos concerts in sight. So in proud memory of Cosmo the Cat, Leigh brings you The Laziest Vegans Top Ten!

What is your favorite store-bought veggie burger?
I'm really into the Dr. Praeger's California Veggie Burgers. It's the only time I knowingly eat peas!

What is you favorite frozen dinner?
I don't usually like frozen meals very much, but I recently tried the Candle Cafe Ravioli and they were crazy good.

What is your favorite ice cream?
Ooh, I love so many vegan ice creams. Maybe the Coconut Bliss Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge could be my favorite.

What is your favorite chip or cracker?
Kookie Karma Cheezy Kale Krackers. Even though I hate that they spell crackers with a K. Also, they aren't really crackers. But they are delicious!

What is your favorite cereal?
Kashi Strawberry Fields. Until a good vegan version of Cap'n Crunch comes out, anyway.

What is your favorite candy?
Go Max Go candy bars find their way into my mouth a little too often. But I do work around them all day. The Twilight bar is fantastic.

What is your favorite cookie?
Liz Lovely Cowgirl Cookie, no contest. Best packaged cookie in the history of cookies.

What three pre-packaged food items would you take to a desert island?
Could I cook on the island? If so, send me with Daiya. Melted Daiya could make any survival food more tolerable. Field Roast Frankfurters. In fact, just send me with a Field Roast variety pack. I love all of their stuff. And I could melt the Daiya all over them. Then, Tofutti Cream Cheese. Wait- are there bagels on this island? Surely there are bagels.

Name a product you would like Veganized? Cinnamon Rolls in a can, like Pillsbury with the little icing tub. Also peanut butter baking chips. Why do those not exist?

What are your favorite local and/or online stores for Vegan products?
Our store is pretty cool, Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe. We also love the folks at Herbivore Clothing and Food Fight Grocery.

And that concludes The Laziest Vegans Top Ten. Thanks Leigh!

The Laziest Vegans Top Ten Asks Lauren Marie

For this month's Laziest Vegans Top Ten I'm keeping it in the family, so to speak. Lauren Marie and I met on January 18, 2008 at my first Vegan Omaha Meetup. Lauren, Jessie "I love to jump out of planes" Schnieder and I rounded out the awesome attendance of three. As I was talking with my new Vegan friends, Lauren mentioned that she knew a certain Isa Chandra Moskowitz. Well you can say the rest is history and I have quite a bit of gratitude for Lauren.

You should follow Lauren at her blog Whoa Wren because she knows what Vegans like. At Vida Vegan Con, Lauren had some amazing presentations, one of them being about Small Town Vegans. Also Lauren recently relocated to Denver and is already kicking butt with Abbie Ray Harris at Vegan Coloradical. Oh, and she is the biggest Hanson fan in the world! But what kind of candy does she like?

What is your favorite store-bought veggie burger?
Veggie burgers aren't really my jam. Give me Gardein chicken tenders over a veggie burger any day!

What is you favorite frozen dinner?
I love love love Amy's vegan mac and cheese, it is compact portion of creamy deliciousness!

What is your favorite ice cream?
Nada Moo's mint chip owns my heart.

What is your favorite chip or cracker?
My favorite crackers, hands down, are the Eco-Planet vegan cheddar crackers.

What is your favorite cereal?
The fake, vegan frosted mini-wheats from Whole Foods. I can't even trust myself with buying my own box.

What is your favorite candy?
Sour Patch Kids 4ever.

What is your favorite cookie?
My favorite cookies are the black and white cookies from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar, when my mom makes them.

What three pre-packaged food items would you take to a desert island?
1) Any hot sauce but Tabasco
2) Chocolate Booty
3) An endless supply of Amy's tofu scramble wraps

Name a product you would like Veganized?
Bonne Belle Lipsmackers in Dr Pepper or Pink Lemonade. Was this supposed to be a food? I want easily accessible vegan chapstick!

What are your favorite local and/or online stores for Vegan products?
I love Cosmo's and Food Fight for food (and chapstick) and Herbivore for comfy, sassy clothing.

And that concludes The Laziest Vegans Top Ten. Thanks Lauren!
