I stumbled upon this cute little Trader Joe's video and thought some of you might like it. I especially appreciate the top secret, stealthy film making involved.
And he mentions the Thai Chili & Lime cashews that I enjoyed on my most recent road trip. (Those cashews are really good in curries, too, FYI.)
That video makes me even more excited about TJ's coming to Kansas City next year.

Product Review: Brody's Bakery's MockTarts
Back in August, I shared a review of some vegan and gluten-free cookies from Brody's Bakery in Kansas City. All of their baked goods are vegan and gluten-free, and their availability is expanding around the KC-metro area, as well as their flavors.
After posting that first interview, I was asked if I'd be interested in sampling and reviewing their MockTarts, once they were perfected. How could I say no?
From their website:
Mock-Tarts -- A better breakfast pastry. Available in four delicious flavors: Fruit filled (strawberry, raspberry or blueberry), brown sugar & cinnamon, Smores, or PB & Jelly. Since our glaze is actually made from real food, you do NOT wanna put these babies in your toaster. Delicious just how they are or warmed up for a few minutes in the oven (or the microwave, if you must.) 4 for $8
I had the delicious task of sampling the strawberry mock-tarts, but I didn't want to keep this job all to myself, so I asked a couple of friends to give them a taste, as well.

Tasters' Thoughts:
"Delightfully chewy."
"Dense and flaky in a good way."
"Very hard crust."
"Better than a Pop-Tart for sure."
"Uneven filling distribution, but the filling is really good and tastes like real strawberries."
"I would buy these over regular Pop-Tarts if they were less expensive."
The real fruit filling is definitely the star of the Mock-Tart show. It tastes like real strawberries because it IS real strawberries! I only wish that there was MORE of the filling, as it was very thin in some areas. These tarts are much heartier (and harder) than regular Pop-Tarts, which are filled with artificial everything, including ingredients that are hard to pronounce. Warming these Mock-Tarts up is vital - just 30 seconds in the microwave was plenty of time to heat them up completely. I found the unheated tarts a little too hard to bite into.
If you are anywhere in the KC-metro area (including the Kansas side), seek out some Brody's Bakery products and try them for yourselves. If you're looking for vegan, gluten-free holiday treats for later this month, they are also offering Halloween goodies (which look ADORABLE!). You can also find Brody's Bakery on facebook.

Friday Food Day
Here are some of the meals I enjoyed this week.

Roasted veggies (broccoli, peppers, and chickpeas) with some Romaine lettuce, drizzled with Annie's Natural's roasted red pepper dressing. This was enjoyed at L's family reunion, and was actually prepared by L, too. (I'm thankful he did because the other offerings there were all meat and cheese as far as the eye could see.)

garlicky fried tofu for breakfast (Man, I love tofu.)

spaghetti made with brown rice pasta (gluten-free). I used a jarred roasted garlic sauce, but added spinach.

A hefty sprinkle of this vegan Parmesan "cheese" is always a delicious addition.

A big pot of roasted red pepper and corn soup.

Seen here with a dollop of non-Daisy (Tofutti Sour Supreme, that is).
I picked up a box of these crackers on a whim the last time I was at the store. The flavor sounded pretty good.

I was impressed to find actual sunflower seeds in almost every single cracker.

I ate them dredged through my beloved Sabra roasted red pepper hummus. As far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as too much hummus.

One of my go-to meals, a coconut curry. Made with bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, fried tofu, and local yellow squash and green zucchini I picked up from the farmers market.

Another meal made from local squash: spaghetti squash casserole, based on this recipe. * I added more spices and skipped the cornmeal crust.



Another golden opportunity to add Tofutti Sour Supreme.
For the time being, I'm going to aim for sharing the majority of food pics on Fridays. However, this will change in November, which is Vegan MoFo time! That's right, I'll be participating, which means at least 5 days a week, I'll be updating about the joys of vegan livin' and vegan eating. (And it really is a joyous thing.) Stay tuned and brace yourselves for regular doses of vegan food porn, folks!

Bake Sale Photo Shoot
The vegan bars that I donated to Rosey Rebecca's blog bake sale last week have been made, wrapped, and are ready to go!
Actually, I already shipped them this morning. I just wanted a segue into posting the "Ready to Go" video after I had that song stuck in my head while I was wrapping up all the bars.
Even though there is only one winner who gets to devour these bars, I thought I'd be nice and show what the rest of you are missing.

Peanut Butter Rice Krispies. These were made with brown rice syrup, which gave them a candied feel.

Energy bars - packed with power from chia, sunflower, and pumpkins seeds.

Peanut Butter Blondie Bites. You can get an idea of how fudgy they are from this angle.

I hope the winner enjoys them!
And if any of you ended up with cavities after looking over these pictures, I'll have more food of the savory variety to share tomorrow.
Now, who wants to help me with the dishes?

Special Guest Post: Yes and Yes

I really enjoy the blogging world. It's a wonderful (and inexpensive) way to get to know different people, to hear about new things, and to see new places. The kind of blogs I like to read generally fall into three categories. The first is obviously around vegan food. The second is also pretty obvious, and that's about traveling. The third is about average people who go out of their ways to make their lives extraordinary. The people who are fearless and creative and live out loud and take risks and make big leaps and changes. One of my favorite blogs, Yes and Yes, falls into this category (and also in the travel section, too). I've only been reading Yes and Yes for a few months now, and when I read that its writer, Sarah Von, would be embarking on a big, transatlantic voyage soon, I knew I wanted to interview her before she took to the skies.

1. For starters, introduce yourself - who are you? where are you from? what do you do? etc.
Hello, friends! I'm Sarah Von. I'm originally from a tiny town in rural Minnesota but these days I split my time between St. Paul, MN and, um, other countries. As a 'day job,' I teach English as a Second Language but I'm about to embark on 1) a seven month trip 2) a dry run of working for myself and writing as my only source of income. Hopefully that rupee/dollar exchange rate will be working in my favor!
2. Tell me about your traveling history. Were you raised by gypsies/in a family that loved to travel? When did you take your first big solo trip? When did you first realize you had been bitten by the travel bug?
My parents are public school teachers so they had three months off each summer to travel. They'd both traveled pretty extensively before they had kids (my dad even lived in Europe for a few years) so it just made sense to keep doing it. Travel was just a normal part of life for us - that's what we did in the summer!
When I was 18, I spent a summer in Germany as part of an exchange program - does it count as a solo trip if I was living with a family? In terms of 100%-by-my-lonesome, I traveled to the Amazon rain forest in Brazil while I teaching down there in 2002 (Don't be too impressed. It was a package tour.)
It was after my time in Brazil that I realized that travel was something that I could do on my own - and regularly. It wasn't super easy navigating Brazil by myself with beginner Portuguese, but I did it and had a great time. After that, I felt nigh-on unstoppable!
3. I understand you're vegetarian. When did you first go meat-free and for what reasons?
My vegetarianism springs mostly from the fact that I don't like meat. I have vivid memories of trying to avoid ground hamburger at the tender age of 6! My parents had a "two bites of everything" rule, but once I was 12, they finally let me stop eating it. Mostly I think they were just fed up with my whining!
Now that I know more about meat's impact on the environment, I'm glad that my habits have a positive side effect, but I can't claim that my vegetarianism has a base in ethics. I think it has its base in texture! Gristle = gross.
4. Where was the most veg-friendly place you've ever visited? What place was the most challenging for a vegetarian? What are your travel tips for meat-free travelers? Describe your best veg meal abroad.
Thailand is a great place for vegetarians! The curries are amazing and mango sticky rice is to die for! Also, vegetarianism is significantly more common in Thailand, so you don't have to deal with those people who inevitably say "Oh, it's okay. It's only chicken."
I really, really had trouble finding food I liked in Peru and Bolivia. The most common meals were meat-filled empanadas, roast chicken and beef. I ended up surviving on peanuts, yogurt and Pringles! I lost too much weight, got sick and even fainted a few times. No bueno.
Probably the best vegetarian meal I've had abroad was a giant bowl of red curry with vegetables and tofu that I ate in Phuket, Thailand. I suppose eating in a sunny garden courtyard of a beautiful old hotel didn't hurt either.
5. You're going on a mighty big trip soon. Please tell us all about it: how you chose where to go (countries & service work organizations), how you planned it out (transportation, lodging, length of service time, etc.), and how you've prepared yourself (mentally, physically, financially, emotionally).
Where I go depends a lot on a) the exchange rate b) the weather while I'm there c) if I know anyone who lives there. Most of the organizations I've worked for/volunteered with were found via good old fashioned internet research or recommendations by friends.
In terms of planning, I honestly try to do too much! I nail down lodging for the first few nights, pin point a few non-negotiable things that I must see or do, look in to the transportation situation (is it easy to get around? is it safe?) and try to find a few contacts there. But I like to leave things pretty loose and not psych myself out to much. When an amazing opportunity presents itself, I don't want to miss it because I've already committed to a group tour of old churches!
Preparation? I get (most of) the shots, save a lot of money and create a giant spread sheet of addresses and phone numbers of the places where I'll be so my friends and family don't freak out.
I've written heaps of how-to posts about travel, so if you'd like more specific information you can read my travel archive here. Or buy my ebook on quitting your job to travel the world here!
6. You'll be traveling for 7+ months. Tell us: what are you packing?!
Black stretchy, layer-able things. Chacos flip flops. Me Too ballet flats. Adidas shelltoes. A sarong. Beauty products that are in solid form.
7. List all the countries you have visited to date. Any favorites? Which of the nifty fifty have you visited? (Or, if it's easier, which states have you NOT visited?)
Canada
Germany
France
Brazil
Taiwan
The Phillipenes
Thailand
Vietnam
Cambodia
Greece
Italy
Scotland
Wales
New Zealand
Australia
Fiji
Peru
Bolivia
I did most of my stateside travel when I was under 15, so I don't remember that much! I've seen most of the states out west and the southeast but I haven't seen that much of the northeast. Maybe once my thirst for international travel has been quenched a bit, I'll explore our shores a bit more!
My favorites? Greece and Cambodia! I'd been wanting to go to Greece since the ubiquitous 'Greek Gods' unit in fifth grade and it's one of the only places I've ever been that has lived up to my expectations.
Cambodia is like the Southeast Asia that you imagine - tuk tuks, fried cockroaches being sold in buckets on the side of the street, golden temples, skinny cows, monkeys. I loved it!
8. Your blog is called Yes and Yes. While it is fun to say "yes" more often, we all have to draw the line somewhere. What are your No-Nos?
Ground hamburger, high heels, nay-sayers, processed cheese, stuff for the sake of stuff, excuses, unreliable people.
9. Your blog is so delightfully whimsical and full of information that is both fun AND useful. The umbrella theme, though, seems to be about reaching goals, living the life you want, and being happy. Without thinking about it too much, just spit out the first 5 things you think of when I ask: What makes YOU happy?
funny pictures of cats
irresistable dance music
long, open highways
old friends
cheese
10. It's far off, but what do you have in store post-epic journey? What is your plan for when you return to the USA? What does the future hold for Yes and Yes? (And will you be blogging live from overseas?)
Ooooh, that's a great question! I'd like to be teaching part time and devoting more time to writing blog posts/magazine articles/anything interesting and designing cool products for Yes and Yes. I'm also interested in helping small businesses develop their web presence and break into the sexy, sexy world of social media.
11. What else would you like to share with the class?
I'm constantly humbled and thrilled by how sweet/smart/amazing Yes and Yes readers are. I'm so touched that they stop by my little corner of internet on the regular!

Thank you to Sarah Von for taking the time to answer some questions for Hungry Vegan Traveler readers! I hope all of you will stop by her blog and read about her adventures, past and future, and wish her happy trails, as she's leaving for her next voyage soon!
What blogs inspire you?

Birthday Recap
I entered the "upper 20s" on Saturday and the only plan I made for the day was to go on a little scavenger hunt to cash in some coupons for free birthday stuff. It sounds silly, but it ended up being a good time. I gathered a few friends and we were off, with our first stop at Noodles & Company.

This was my first time at Noodles & Company, and honestly, the only reason I was there was because I had a coupon for a free bowl. I did my research in advance, though, and was impressed to find very thorough nutrition and allergen info on their website. They even had a little section for their vegan dishes, and they served rice noodles, too. Perfect!
For any Sriracha lovers out there, you'll be happy to read that there was a bottle of it on every table in the joint.

I ordered the Indonesia Peanut Sauté with tofu. It was lovely!

The ultra-crispy bean sprouts and fresh cilantro were my favorite components of this meal.

It was also a lovely meal to photograph.

The weather was also lovely and we strolled around Zona Rosa for awhile...
(Ah! There's our chauffeur!)

eventually stopping at Coldstone Creamery to cash in my free "Like It"-sized dessert. I was happy to find that they had THREE different sorbets to choose from. I went with mango-strawberry-banana with graham cracker crumbs mixed in.

The sorbet was okay, but it was really just a vehicle for the graham cracker crumbs.
A little more strolling, and then we headed to On the Border.

I had a coupon for free queso dip (obviously not vegan), but I handed that over to my (non-vegan) friends and enjoyed an overpriced blood orange margarita instead. (I think I came out on top with that trade.)


Next, we were whisked away to Crown Center to check out the free John Lennon art exhibit. (John Lennon and I do share a birthday, after all.)

No photography allowed inside the exhibit. It was a collection of sketches and ink drawings by John Lennon. If I was a super Beatles fan, I would have been more excited. Some of the works were really cute, though. They were all outrageously expensive, though, especially considering they were all reproductions.
Next, a quick stop at Caribou Coffee to cash in on a free drink. It was so hard to decide, but I knew I wanted to try something new. I went with the iced cinnamon rooibos tea. I can never remember how to pronouce "rooibos," so I just called it Roy Orbison tea. Close enough.

Verdict: not great. I ordered it because I thought it would be similar to hibiscus tea, which I love so much, but this actually just tasted like sipping weak tea with cinnamon gum in my mouth. The cinnamon was overpowering, and I just don't like cinnamon that much. Oh well.
Our last coupon for the evening brought us to Mimi's Cafe, which ended up being a bad experience due to, in a nutshell, our condescending server telling us exactly what he thinks of people who don't eat meat, and it wasn't very nice. We spoke to a very understanding supervisor, though, and that's all I will say about that.
The rest of the evening was spent with a surprise visit from a dear friend who was originally out of town for the weekend, but ended up being IN town due to car trouble (which is not so great). However, she threw an impromptu camp-out in the middle of nowhere (seriously - it was a little creepy to get there) and we had a fabulous time around the little campfire.

Naturally, the lighting was terrible/non-existent, but I do have a few pictures to share of the cast of characters (minus the birthday girl because I didn't take a picture of myself. Oops!).



And here's a little glimpse of the delicious mulled cider, heated over some flaming charcoal with love, by the hostess. (Seriously, if you want something mulled, she's your girl.)

I'm usually pretty weird about birthdays. I often feel like there's too much pressure to make it eventful or memorable or whatever. This birthday was great because it took little effort, I tried lots of new things (and for free), and I spent it with some lovely people. And it was certainly memorable.
