Roasted Vegetable Pizza - Trader Joe's

My mom found a delicious cheese free pizza with roasted vegetables at Trader Joe's.

I did doctor it a slight bit, but it was also delicious without any extras.

I cut up a chicken patty (we had no grilled chicken) and put it on the pizza before cooking.

Once the pizza was done, I put some balsamic glaze on top.  The pizza already has a balsamic type sauce but this gave it a little extra flavor.

Soy Ice Cream

     I tried many a terrible, icy, watery ice creams before I found Purely Decadent.  Cookie dough was my favorite flavor which made me excited to try it.  Having big chunks of cookie dough (as seen below) and being oh so creamy are definitely a plus.  It doesn't have an overly soy taste and it is made with mostly organic ingredients.

     Obviously since it is ice cream it will have a lot of sugar.  I only have a few spoonfuls before I have satisfied my craving.  This means I usually don't waste a bowl and I eat straight out of the container. ;)  

Vegan Pizza!

     I went food shopping for my mom yesterday since she wasn't feeling well.  While shopping, I happened to find a vegan pizza made by American Flatbread in the frozen naturals section.  I have been skeptic about trying dairy free pizza, but it was on sale so I figured I would try it.

     I was not disappointed!  This pizza is made with a vegan cheese that is dairy AND soy free.  The cheese has a great taste but it was a little too sticky.  The crust was a flatbread which was very crispy and delicious.  I enjoyed it, but I was not the only one since my little brother even liked it!

All in all, I was very happy with this pizza and I will definitely buy it again. :)

Butter Spreads

     I have tried different dairy free or vegan butter spreads.  Some were tasteless, some had an odd consistency, and others were just gross.  I found Best Life butter spread which tasted good but didn't melt well.

     Now, I use Earth Balance whipped butter spread.  I like the flavor, consistency and it melts really well on toast!  Even my siblings, who use regular butter, like it.  I finally feel like I am not missing out when people have melted butter dripping off of warm bread because I can now have the same thing.

     I am running low on my first tub so just bought the original version.  I will update this post with my opinions on it when I start using it.

     Started using the original and I still love it!
