Cascadian Farm's Organic Lemonade

Summer is over but I'm not ready to let go just yet. I'm sure you're just like me and love a nice cold glass of lemonade on a hot day. My lemonade of choice for some time had been Cascadian Farm's Organic Lemonade. I used to buy the cheap $1 stuff but you get what you pay for. This is exactly what you want in a lemonade. Lemony, sweet, perfect.

And there is no better way to drink your cold lemonade than a Return of the Jedi glass! Well, unless you have Return of the Jedi Dixie Cups.

Arrowhead Mills Creamy Peanut Butter

Along with yogurt, peanut butter is my most eaten food. I really take it for granted how much I love my peanut butter. The manner in which I eat the pb varies, but unless I'm on vacation I have to have my peanut butter. My pb of choice for the last 10 years has been Arrowhead Mills Creamy Peanut Butter. At first I was aghast by the amount of oil at the top of the jar, but then I realized that is what real peanut butter does. A little shaking or stirring fixes it right up.

During the summer, I'm a celery peanut butter connoisseur. It's healthy and refreshing, a winning combination. The cold of winter calls for me to have peanut butter sandwiches. And if I get really crazy, I'll have crackers and pb. It's just the perfect food! I want to thank Arrowhead Mills for such a delicious and nutritious peanut butter.

Annie Chun's Garlic Scallion Noodle Bowl

A while back someone on the Laziest Vegans FB Page suggested I try an Annie Chun's product since many are Vegan. I've seen them in the store before but for whatever reason I never got one. I checked out all of the different Vegan options and decided on the Garlic and Scallion Noodle Bowl.

First of all I have to come out and say that this is the laziest meal EVER. You put some noodles (already soft) in a bowl, add a cup of water and put it in the microwave. Then when it's done you drain the noodles and pour the sauce packet on top. Easy/lazy dorm food.

Taste-wise I thought it was decent. It seem more like emergency food to me than an actually dinner. It definitely had a garlic/ soy sauce flavor going on. The noodles were nice and moist. You wouldn't want to eat it every day but I found it enjoyable. It's funny to not have to boil the noodles for once. Also, it isn't much to look at but that's to be expected. So if you are in a jam, keep one of these in your pantry and you'll have some excellent emergency Vegan food!

Ian's Gluten-Free Onion Rings

Onion rings are pretty great. I mean, to me, they're better than fries. You can have them as a side or make them the main meal. I've always been pretty bummed because there has never been a decent frozen Vegan onion ring. A couple months ago I spotted these Ian's Onion Rings and just had to have them in my belly!

So I got them home and fired up the oven. The first thing I noticed on the package is that they are gluten free. So instead of wheat, the batter is made from corn. The rings were sweet and crunchy. I enjoyed the corn taste a lot. Oh course I had my mixture of ketchup and Frank's on the side. Except for a little breakage, I thought Ian's did an amazing job making a Vegan AND gluten free onion ring. I did notice they do burn very easily so make sure keep an eye on them.

Bottom line, if you are ever in mood for a little Vegan onion ring action, I wholeheartedly recommend Ian's Onion Rings!

Today is the start of Vegan MoFo and I couldn't be more excited. It's also time for my favorite holiday of the year, Halloween! So I was thinking of a contest where I could celebrate both things. Enter the Sweet & Sara Halloween Marshmallow Giveaway!

I decided that one person from each of the seven continents will get a Sweet & Sara Halloween gift pack which includes: one package of Pumpkin Marshmallows, one Marshmallow Bat and one Marshmallow Ghost.

All you have to do is write your country and continent on the Laziest Vegans Facebook or below in the comments. I will pick seven winners on October 8th 11:59 pm Central Time. Good luck and Silver Shamrock!

Almond Dream Lil' Dreamers

Being so impressed with the Rice Dream Bites, I've made it a point not to overlook the "Dream" brand as I have in the past. My next conquest is Almond Dream Lil' Dreamers. I've always had mad love for ice cream sandwiches, so I was hoping they wouldn't disappoint. There is just something special about ice cream sandwiches to me.

They're delicious! My first impression was that they're very rich. The cookie part was nice and soft and the almond ice cream was a pleasant surprise. I wouldn't mind more Almond Dream stuff in the future. Lil' Dreamers are obviously small, which is good if you want a quick dessert. But a word of warning, you're gonna eat the whole box. So if you love ice cream sandwiches like I do, then pick up some Almond Dream Lil' Dreamers!

Trader Joe's Vegan Chips Galore!

The thing I love about Trader Joe's is that you never know what you are going to find. On a recent trip I found three bags of chips that had the magical "V" on the packaging. It seems a lot of Trader Joe's products are seasonal, so get them while you can. Let's see what I found!

Trader Joe's Popped Potato Chips are a nice light potato chip. I'm going to take a huge guess and say they are basically Popchips. I found them to be a decent dipping chip but great out of the bag, too.

Pita Puffs are cute little puffed pita chips. Thin and light, they kind of melt in your mouth. There's not much to them but they sure are tasty! Great for soups and chili.

Whoa! When I picked up these Rice & Bean Chips I really didn't think I would like them. I saw that they were Vegan so I felt obligated to buy them. When I finally had a chance to try them I was blown away. I guess it must be the power of Adzuki because I ate the bag in one sitting. They are a tad salty but I think they are delicious.

So three thumbs up for Trader Joe's Vegan Chips!
