When not to argue with a meat eater

Today while I was out with my family, we went grocery shopping and we're going to pick up a pancake mix; for a breakfast this week. My family stated that I would have to eat eggs in order for them to make the pancakes because that is the only way you can make pancakes. Right then at the exact moment I bit down my tongue knowing that it was one of those moments in life that test you about your beliefs and way of life.

I decide that this was not the argument that would be worth the hard time and mental thinking to get my point across. However I guess that it was one of those days that I had to get my point across about vegans being able to eat the same things as meat eaters. This wasn't my first run in with this argument I have avoid it once before , because I don't like to push my thoughts on to other about my beliefs nor prove myself either. 

This argument  started about with how I like baking, and my family  chimed in will you can't bake without eggs. Oh boy that was when I was like man the ship for all weapons it's time to go to war. I was locked and load . 

See I used my knowledge to make sure that I could backup my argument , but about the baking apart that was the beginning. The argument ended today in the store over the pancake mix, after I stood their looking at my family while they were shopping for pancake mix. I just said look I am not going to argue about this anymore, if you don't believe then don't but their are facts backup me showing that it is possible for vegan's to make pancake mix with ANY eggs,honey, or milk.

I have a feeling that this argument may come back, but what I really learned is that if you believe in something . Sometime it is important to argue your point and sometime it is not. Which leads me to the title of this post when not to argue with a meat eater. I choose it simply because I live in the land of meat and potatoes ; I have to learn when to choose my battles.

Have you ever had an experience like this or anything similar?

Moo Moo's Poblano Patties Review

Moo Moo's Poblano Chickpea Patties

I was so excited when I found vegan & gluten free frozen dinner in the frozen section at H*E*B. Moo Moo's had a few frozen dinner options at the store , but I went with this one.

Simply because I love spicy things and I figured it would be spicy because of the Poblano. I would have to say this frozen dinner was not cheap it was about almost $7.00 after tax.

Nutritional Information for the Poblano Patties


Based on the nutritional information and it being poblano patties, I got the frozen dinner. I waited to try it for a couple  days, so I finally did try it. I wasn't that happy with the frozen dinner, first of all the plastic broke while microwaving the food. Which mad me really upset ,because half the sauce that was in the dish was on my microwave.

What came out of the dish on the side was the roasted corn salsa that was supposed to be part of the poblano chickpea patties. The patties were very mushy, and lacked a little flavor their was no real spice. It seemed like the poblano was lack of from the patties, if their was a little more poblano that would have balanced out the mushy part of the patties. If they were more firm that would have been excellent, but they weren't.

I had to add in a little more salsa my self to make the patties better, because they are mushy. The mushy thing was the part that I didn't like at all. Overall the flavor was okay , the product was  good and the plastic of the product is okay. I would not buy this again simply because the flavor was off and wasn't what I was expecting. 


* Dis closer: All reviews are of my own and I was not paid to review this product. 

To cute tofu

I recently went to a H*E*B which is a grocery store here in the Houston , Texas area. While I was in the store my mom told me about a tofu fried rice that was completely vegan and it was in the store we're at. She told that she meet the people who own or make the products , and that the food was to died for.

I am not a person who likes tofu very much but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try the fried rice.  So I got the rice it was like around $5.00 or so , can't remember but what I do remember when picking up the rice is that they made egg rolls that were completely vegan. Now those were very pricey in my opinion it was like $6.97 for a box that had maybe 6-9 egg rolls in them , they looked yummy.

This is what it looks like right after microwaving it.

So I bought the tofu fried rice from Banyan Foods , which to be honest someone who doesn't like tofu. I actually liked it which surprised me and my mom.This is a very simple tofu fried rice that is very good the box has two servings inside of it and  nutrition was pretty good. It is very easy to make the fired rice they give you two ways to make it. I made it by microwaving it , I was hungry.

 However I did noticed that it had a slight lack of favor , I add in Bragg's Liquid Amino's to it with some pepper and Toasted Seamese Oil. Which add these things it made it taste better. Overall I would have to say that the Tofu Fried Rice is pretty good in my book.
