Long Holiday

Thanksgiving is such a nice holiday to see family and spend time with them but it is also a very long holiday. If you include black Friday as part of that. I spend most of my Friday recovering from the long trip to my family's house near Huntsville , Texas. It was a great day , however I didn't capture my plate of food that I bought with me.

I bought butternut squash dusted with cinnamon , green beans, brussels sprouts and rosemary rolls which was all from whole foods; and of course vegan pumpkin pie.I think I have found my new lover for pumpkin pie, because sadly the pumpkin pie gelato now has milk in it. I was sad to hear that but oh well , whole foods makes a killer pumpkin pie.

Needless to say my family was slightly interested in how I eat , except for one family member whom was general interested at the same time. I kept my cool with all the questions about why I was vegan and what I eat. I mean I haven't seen my family in 4 years so I could understand, because the last time they saw me I was vegetarian.

Enough about me rambling about Thanksgiving and stuff. Some exciting news, I am going to be reviewing Larabar and Amy's courteous of both of theses companies. I should be posting a review of Amy's frozen items sometime this upcoming week. Along with those reviews I will be posting a review of the pumpkin pie above that I had for Thanksgiving, plus two restaurant reviews from the Houston area.

Does anyone know how to transfer pictures from iPhone to computer to use on a blog?

Please leave me a comment below if you know anything on how to do that.

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?

Who's a which witch?

I love sandwich's of all types and I love most sandwich shops too. However my favorite shop since I got to Texas is Which Witch, personal  this is the best sandwich shop hands down. The location I go to ; the employees are so friendly and nice.

It's nice to go Which Witch because of the employee's and of course the sandwiches; enough of me rambling. I got a Tomato & Avocado sandwich from them tonight, it was my first real meal since I got sick. 

Which Witch is not vegan shop they make all types of sandwiches but however they have a special set of sandwiches that are vegetarian. 

Note all the vegetarian sandwiches can be made vegan if you don't select anything animal related. Above picture shows how you order your sandwich . 

You select which type you want , then you select what type of bread. It goes on how much you can customize your sandwich to the way you want.

As you can see I ordered a Tomato & Avocado on wheat toasted with salsa, red onions, lettuce, cucumbers,black olives, mushrooms,oregano, pepper and of course garlic.

I took a picture of the sandwich for you guys before I bit into it, Which Witch is my favorite go to sandwich place but they are higher than Subway.

What's your favorite go to sandwich shop? Have you ever been to Which Witch? 

If so whats your favorite sandwich?

Holy Amy's

My best stash of Amy's products , this was before I left Oregon. Can you tell that I like Amy's soups a little to much. What's your favorite Amy's product?

Wonderful Purple

I am a sucker for purple things because it's my favorite color in the whole world. I have most things purple, but I didn't think that would be part of my lotion collection that I have. I recently got Victoria Sercet Lotion  and a few other things from them. My favorite smell is love spell , which happens to be purple( I think that's funny).

I would have to say that this stuff smells great and I love it. I love Victoria Sercet customer service , they helped me alot. When I got the box from UPS the body spray was missing from the box, I know its in the picture. I called them told them what happen , and the rep ordered me a new one with three day shipping because of what happen at no charge.

What I got was the shimmer lotion , hand lotion , two body butter's and a body spray for $ 30.00 dollars. Which they have that deal going on with the whole collection right now , however the simmer spray and brush are not included. Victoria Secret lotions and body spray are cruelty free which I love that and they are sulfa free expect the shower stuff that has sulfa in it.

Prefect Pumpkin

Add caption

My new favorite thing to get besides Luna & Larry's Coconut Ice Cream, is Pumpkin Pie gelato. I was like omg! they have something that tastes just like pumpkin pie, I haven't had a pumpkin pie since I went vegan. The area I was living in was a really small town, so when I saw this I was like wow.

I had the Phoenicia cafe make sure for me that it had nothing from animals in it , and they stated that it's dairy free, egg free and honey free. So I picked out Pumpkin Pie and my mom picked out pistachio with orange blossom. So inside the container half was pistachio and half was pumpkin pie which made it hard to spoon out the pumpkin pie to avoid pistachio part. 

I was finally able to just get the pumpkin pie part out , and it was just like eating pumpkin pie.Here's a picture of it

This was from Phoenicia Deli & Coffeehouse which is on  12151 Westheimer Rd Ste P in Houston , the Neighborhood it's in is Westchase.

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.

Cute Cat Necklace

Cat Necklace From 1sayasale.

I was very worried about buying from one of the sale websites , the one's that have great deals. I decide to give one a try which is 1dayasale.com, and they had this wonderful cat necklace. I was for $7.99 which normally it's $112.00. First thing that came to mind was that it might be of poor quality, oh boy was I wrong. This necklace is of really good quality plus it only cost 13.98 with shipping.

I just love this necklace which is my new favorite, I just had to share. I was not paid to review the website all opinions are my own.

Grocery Finds

I recently had a chance just to go grocery shopping with my boyfriend and me instant of me and my mom. When I shop with my mom I don't really get that much time to look for things I like to get. I got quiet a few things that I was surprised about from Kroger and Super Target which are down the street from me.

Super Target was the first place I went to get some food, at first I was thinking I am not going to be able to find anything. As I started from frozen food section to dry foods my hope got better and I found quiet a few interesting products. From Annie's to Guacamole to anything else, I lost the receipt so I am just going to show the pictures I took of what I got.

Annie's from Super Target, I am so excited.
