Vegan Products that We Really Like

OK. Since it is just me and the 11 year old, we are cooking very little so I thought I would look through the fridge and offer some tried and true recommendations for the lazy vegan adventurer right from my own tiny kitchen. Obviously I have vegetables and fruit, etc. but I assume most of you have a sense what those taste like so I won't list. I tend to shop at Trader Joe's and Wholefoods a lot. We also have a good local supermarket chain here (Hannaford's). I believe these items are fully vegan but, obviously, you should check if you are worried!

In My Freezer Now:

• GardenBurger BlackBean Chipotle Burgers
• Gardenburger Riblets (my family hates these but I like them)
  
• Amy's Texas Veggie Burgers
• Amy's black bean enchiladas (there is a dairy free one)
• Boca chicken patties
• Dr. Praeger's TexMex burgers (more like a soft potato pancake but yummy)
• Morningstar Grillers Vegan
• Ling Ling Vegetable Potstickers (Vegetable Dumplings)-These are filled with cubed tofu
  
• Trader Joe's Thai Vegetable Gyoza
• Tofutti Cuties-Vanilla

In the Fridge:

• Silk Soy Milk in light plain and light vanilla (I have finally become accustomed to soy milk my coffee but that took a LONG time and, no, I don't lik ehte soy cream because it is sweetened and I hate sweet coffee)
• Vegenaise Mayonaise-this is the best I have found so far
• Earth Balance Buttery Spread- fabulous!
• Tofutti sour cream-not really very sour creamy but sometimes you need it on a quesadilla
• Better Than Bouillion Vegetable Base- I put this stuff in everything I cook. It tastes great.
• Galaxy Foods Vegan Grated Topping- sort of like parm cheese supposedly. I only used this when making "rich and creamy lowfat vegan alfredo" (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=6955.0). Smells like chemicals to me so I don't use it much beyond that recipe.
• WholeSoy Yogurts - My favorite is Mango Apricot
• Follow Your Heart Mozzarella Cheese- Melts on a pizza. Very expensive though.
• Smart Dogs - this is defintely an acquired taste. I ate one a year ago and did not like it but now I can eat them, no problem.
• Tofurkey Hickory Smoked slices
• Imagine Creamy Tomato Soup
  

Snacks:

• Tings- made my the people who brought you "Pirate booty." They are cheese doodles without the cheese.
• Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos (yes, I know, very nutritious. This is my Snack section, remember?)
• Clif bars
• Orville Redenbacher Simply Salted microwave popcorn
• Mi-Del ginger snaps
• Salt and Pepper potato chips

Well, I hope that helps out somewhat! Happy eating.
