This month's Laziest Vegans Top Ten shines the spotlight on Vegan luminary Melisser Elliott. Melisser is the author of
The Vegan Girl's Guide to Life, creator of the blog
The Urban Housewife and the face behind the website
Cruelty Free Face. Recently she even found the time to create a Twitter account specifically for Vegan questions called
Vegan Answers. And last but not least, Melisser is from the Bay Area and her Dad loves the
Oakland A's. Oh, and she worships
Morrissey. Now that's my kind of bio! Without further ado...I present you Melisser Elliott.
What is your favorite veggie burger?
I'm not much of a veggie burger gal, although the new
Gardein burger is good. I'd rather eat the
Crispy Tenders! I was a tester for
Joni Marie Newman's "
The Best Veggie Burgers on the Planet", so that ruined most store bought options.
What is you favorite frozen dinner?
I can get down with an
Amy's Tamale Pie.. but I suppose the answer would be
Gardein Crispy Tenders with some dipping sauce like spicy mustard.
What is your favorite ice cream?
Anything from
Lula's Sweet Apothecary,
Tempt Vanilla Bean,
Temptation Cookie Dough, or Limetta Eis from
Tanne B in Berlin. Ice cream is my favorite food.
What is your favorite chip or cracker?
Mr. Krispers
Sea Salt and Pepper Rice Crisps, they're always gone in one sitting.
Trader Joe's Wheat Crisps and EcoPlanet
Vegan Cheddar Crackers are great as well.
What is your favorite cereal?
Flax Plus, I know, not that exciting, but I miss it here in Europe. We do have vegan Cinnamon Toast Crunch though, called
CinnaMinis, no added D3!
What is your favorite candy?
Manner Schnitten!! I can DEVOUR these. I'm also not afraid to throw down on a Go Max Go
Jokerz bar!
What is your favorite cookie?
I think I'm going to have to go
Uncle Eddie's Chocolate Chip, if I have to pick one, or maybe,
Candy Cane Joe Joe's. I prefer to make my own!
What three pre-packaged food items would you take to a desert island?
Tortillas, Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus, and Pineapple Salsa; to eat together, of course! Can I have some fire to warm it up too?
Name a product you would like Veganized?
I would say Peeps, but
Dandies made that happen! How about Angel Food Cake, the gnarly kind you buy at the supermarket that sticks to the sides of the plastic tub.
What are your favorite local and/or online stores for Vegan products?
Veganz supermarket in Berlin is the mecca of all things vegan and delicious. Online, I appreciate that
Vegan Essentials ships overseas. My fave American shops are
Food Fight and
Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe though!
And that concludes The Laziest Vegans Top Ten. Thanks Melisser!
