Odds and Ends

Just a couple of tidbits.

First, some good news that Bradley recently found and forwarded on to me.  Tim Horton’s is testing  JUST’s plant based eggs in their Canadian stores! This is exciting, because while I don’t expect restaurants to eliminate chicken eggs, knowing I have a vegan option available means Kevin and I could go out to breakfast occasionally. I don’t know if, or when, they’ll start serving them in the U.S., but I’ll keep an eye out for more information and I’ll keep you posted.

Now, I have to come clean. I’ve never tried JUST plant based eggs. I’ve seen them in both Whole Foods and Fresh Thyme but have never had the courage to buy a bottle. I have read multiple reviews on them and they’re all favorable. So… the next time I’m in a store where they sell the JUST plant based eggs, I’m going to buy them. That’ll be another post….

Second, something we can all sink our teeth into; just a little snack  Abby and I found at T.J. Maxx.  (They sell a lot of specialty foods, many of which cater to individuals with food allergies. (READ your labels!) Some are good, some not so good and then some are ‘heavenly hunks’.

They’re just that, a heavenly little treat, LOADED with flavor.  These, seriously, have to be the best tasting store bought vegan “chocolate” treat I’ve ever had.  I know this judgement comes from someone who has not had real chocolate since October of 2011 (not that I’m keeping track), so I know my tastes have definitely changed; but, I have to tell you, Abby agreed with me wholeheartedly.   She said they made her mouth water and the only way they could taste even better would be to enjoy them with an ice cold Coke.  Specifically, an ice cold fountain Coke, preferably, from McDonalds.  Agreed. On our way home, we each ate two of these heavenly vegan ‘hunks’ with our McDonald’s fountain Cokes.  I put the remaining ‘hunks’ in the cupboard to have another day.  Bad idea, they don’t store well in room temperature.  Next time I’ll store them in the refrigerator or freezer.  Pick some up if you see them, they will not disappoint!

Thanks for stopping!
