Sukhi's Garden Vegetable Naanwich Review

While shopping at Whole Foods today we came across something we hadn't seen before and decided to  
give it a try. It is the Sukhi's Naanwich and we ate the garden vegetable one. The Naanwich is a "handcrafted naan flatbread sandwich." The garden vegetable one is vegan and has Indian spiced hearty vegetables.

The Naanwich is super easy to make, taking only 90 seconds to heat up in the microwave. And it tastes good. I would buy this again, for sure! It was around $3.00 per Naanwich and would make a good lunch. In our case we ate a big lunch while we were out, so we ate this for dinner.

These are found in the freezer department. Pick one up and give it a try for a quick and tasty Indian lunch!

Here's the ingredients in the garden vegetable Naanwich:

(VEGAN) Garden Vegetable Filling( Potatoes, Carrots, Peas, Canola Oil, Salt, Ginger, Garlic, Fenugreek Leaves, Turmeric, Cayenne) Naan(Unbleached Flour, Gluten, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Fruitrim (Fruit Juice, Natural Grain Dextrin), Vegetable Glycerine, Vinegar, Salt, Sugar, Soy Flour, Dextrose, Yeast, Soybean Oil, Enzymes, Ascorbic Acid, Baking Powder, Yeast.).

Comerica Park Vegetarian Friendly? Depends on what you mean by vegetarian friendly

I just read this article that once again Comerica Park, in Detroit, was named one of the most vegetarian friendly ballparks for 2011 (not the first time they have made this list), by PETA.

It is important to note that just because a place gets nomited or named as a vegetarian friendly place does not mean that it is actually good once you get there.

It is likely that all PETA has done in giving them this distinction is to see a menu of what they offer (a  
self-submitted menu). They probably haven't shown up unannounced as regular patrons, so they could try the vegetarian food as it is being served up to everyone. I have.

Last summer on our yearly trip back to Michigan we took in a game at Comerica Park. We planned to eat there, since we had read how vegetarian friendly they were. You can read the full review I wrote about our experience right here.

So take it as their annual list of places. Not necessarily a review of what was actually good to eat at these ballparks. That is two totally different things.

Vegan Snow White Chocolate Crescent Cookies Recipe

My daughter wanted to make some cookies over the weekend, so found a non-vegan recipe and  
veganized it! They turned out great. These cookies are super simple to make and taste good. They actually tasted a bit like a brownie. Yum!

Vegan Snow White Chocolate Crescent Cookies
1.5 cups of all purpose flour
1/3 cup of cocoa powder
1/2 cup of vegan margarine, softened
1 cup of vegan sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
egg substitute for one egg (Ener G egg replacer)
1/2 cup of confectioner's sugar

Start by preheating the oven to 325 degrees. Combine the flour and cocoa in a small bowl. In a larger bowl, cream the sugar and butter together with a mixer. Add vanilla and egg replacer and continue beating until smooth. Scrape down sides and add cocoa/flour mixture. Blend together. The dough will be crumbly. Take a tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a crescent and place on ungreased baking sheet. Place them an ince a part on the sheet. Bake for 16-17 minutes. Let them cool on the pan for about three minutes, then roll them in the confectioner's sugar and place on a flat surface where they can finish cooling. Enjoy!

Healthy? No...but easy, vegan and tasty!
