Brand new Greek yogurts from everyone’s favorite dairy-free company, So Delicious. These almond milk Greek yogurts are soy-free, dairy-free, and coconut-free. They come in berry flavors as well, but I only purchased the chocolate and vanilla. Both were tart, yet slightly-sweet, with a custard-like texture.
One of my favorite (fair-trade!) chocolate companies has just introduced a coconut-flavored chocolate bar. The Sweet Riot Dark Chocolate Kickin’ Coconut bar is delicious! Soft dark chocolate, with sweet coconut shreds in every bite.
Love in a wrapper.
New from Clif Bar: Kit’s Organic Fruit and Nut Bars. Imagine a Larabar, but with a higher nut-to-date ratio (so more rich and less sweet). The chocolate flavor tasted almost like a cocoa macaroon. (I actually only bought the chocolate and peanut butter ones. Sorry, but berry-flavored snack bars just don’t interest me!)

Can’t please all the people all the time!
I had a quick question: I have a houseguest who’s going to be staying with us for a while, and he’s vegan. That’s fine, I wasn’t planning on force-feeding him beef or anything, but he doesn’t do a lot of cooking, and he’s from another country, so he doesn’t really know where to start with vegan convenience foods in the States. We’ll be having probably most dinners together, I can accommodate that, and your blog’s given me plenty of dessert ideas, but he’s going to be on his own for breakfast & lunch. I plan on going to the store with him so he can get his favorite fruits & veggies, but do you have any favorite convenience foods (burritos, pizzas, things like that) that I can stock the freezer/fridge with in advance, in case we don’t make it to the store right away? I don’t believe he has any other food restrictions, so soy, nuts, wheat, etc are all fine.

The Amy’s brand has a ton of great vegan convenience foods including burritos, frozen meals, soups, pizza. I’m a vegan and I always have these items in my freezer when I need a quick bite. Your best bet is to go to Whole Foods – they have a nice selection.

Oh YUM! Katie- first and foremost, thank you so much for your incredible blog! (You get that a lot, but now you have it a lot + one =) )
The Greek Yogurt hasn’t reached us here, north of the border, quite yet, so I may just have to hop over to try some!
I would love it, and would be so honoured, if you did a Zimt Artisan Chocolates product review- may I send you raw chocolate to try? Let me know the best method to reach you- you would get the chocolate within the next month and a bit!

Katie, I love this blog! You do a fantastic job of creating new recipes that are healthy and appetizing. Bravo! Thanks for the tip on the yogurt. I will definitely keep an eye out for it.
Moni Meals says
Great finds Katie.
And if you offend anyone (accidentally) they can get over it!! I have been reading your blog long enough and you’re the sweetest thing ever! There are some looney and unhappy people in this world… don’t let it bother you doll. 🙂

Just wanted to lend my support to you. There are SO many people who appreciate your blog, and even if I don’t agree with every little single thing you say, that doesn’t take away from my absolute enjoyment of your wildly creative recipes. I’m sure you already know this, but I encourage you to pay no mind to people who attempt to criticize you or your posts. Even if you think they might have a point, there are more and more haters where that came from. Haters gonna hate. And honestly, if you’re receiving negative commentary about your blog or your recipes or even your choice of words, that means you’re making it 🙂 It’s a good sign, trust me.

I have tried the So Delicious Greek style coconut milk yogurt (loved it!), but I’ve never seen the almond version. I’m on the hunt! 🙂
Christine Moore says
I think you made a great point! If you find yourself offended by something another person says, it is better to believe that he or she probably did not mean it that way, and more often than not this is true. However, if you jump to conclusions and remain bothered, that can lead to hurt feelings and misunderstanding. A very healthy perspective to live by.
Thank you for the advice regarding youthful appearance and actual age. It makes me feel better to know that I am not the only one who has encountered age-inappropriate comments based on my looks. I shall do my best to keep living the way I wish to live!

Lexi @ You, Me, & A World to See says
Yum those yogurts sound really good! How did the almond milk ones compare to the coconut milk version?
Amanda says
I just stumbled upon your very nice blog. Trying to go vegan, and
Greek yogurt is my last holdout. I read the article which was critized. I do not see what was offensive….people should lighten-up. You do not need to defend or explain yourself. Just continue with these fabulous recipes.
