Awesome Vegan Food Finds at Costco in Brooklyn, NY
A couple years ago when I moved to NYC, I was surprised to find many vegan options at Costco in Brooklyn. There are even several organic and/or non-GMO products, as well.
Here are just some of the vegan items I noticed at the Costco location in Brooklyn, NY. I picked up most of these, and the kitchen is now well-stocked for vegan eating!
Back to Eating My Vegan Way Through NYC
Spending a month in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio for Thanksgiving and Christmas was awesome! While I was there, I got to see some friends and family. Catching up with them meant I had lots of lunch and brunch dates at Park + Vine and Melt Eclectic Cafe – two of my favorite places in Cincy for vegan eats. I also had some tasty vegan dessert. Now, I’m back in NYC, a city with so many vegan restaurants and offerings. It’s one of the best cities in the world! Here is some of the vegan food I’ve had in Brooklyn and Manhattan the past few weeks.
These Awesome Food Products Will Help You Transition to a Plant-Based, Vegan or Vegetarian Diet
In 2013, I decided to stop eating yogurt and try more of a vegan diet. I was a vegetarian at the time. Now, I consider myself a plant-based eater or a 99% vegan. I eat primarily plants, but I occasionally have dairy depending on the situation (like a birthday party where the cake has already been baked).
This blog is for people who want to make better eating choices, who want to eat more plant-based and need resources. I am not interested in making people feel excluded or like they need to be perfect. I often wonder if the more militant vegans understand that their tactics actually turn people away from veganism. I am interested in helping people eat less meat and dairy (or none at all!), not scaring them away from the vegan message of compassion.
In order to change your eating habits, you need to know what the heck you can eat! I assure you that there are SO MANY options; you just have to look and learn!

Food Review – Dairy-Free, Boxed Mac n’ Cheese From Earth Balance – Lazy Girl Vegan
As a child, I ate plenty of boxed mac & cheese, and I loved the Kraft kind in particular. Now, I have completely changed my diet to cut out most of the things I grew up eating – including cheese. But that doesn’t mean my taste for those childhood products has gone away! I still want some easy, creamy mac n’ cheese as much as the next American. Luckily, Earth Balance is here with a new, vegan mac n’cheese product that sits on the shelf.
Pre-Made, Vegan Turkey Alternatives That are Easy to Heat and Eat on Thanksgiving!
Are you an herbivore in a land of turkey gobblers on Thanksgiving? Perhaps you’re like me and will be the only vegan sitting at the table. For those of us who avoid meat and dairy, having a Thanksgiving dinner with non-vegan family and friends can be a struggle. Many of us have had dinner with family who love meat and dairy, while we sit there pretty much just eating the side dishes. Well, not anymore!
This year, I’m seeking out an alternative main course for myself since I’ll be the only one abstaining from real turkey at the table. Here are some of the pre-made, dairy-free alternatives to turkey. Now, the question is: which one to buy?!
5 Cool Companies That Are Using Science to Create Perfect, Plant-Based Replacements for Meat, Eggs and Dairy
What deters many people from switching to a vegan diet is that they don’t want to give up the taste of their favorite meat, dairy and egg dishes. A veggie burger just doesn’t taste like a beef burger, and veggie cheese can never perfectly replace dairy cheese, they say. Well, change is here to prove those assumptions wrong! It’s getting easier than ever to go vegetarian or vegan.
