Midweek Munchies

Hello friends, I hope you've been having a nice week, with some good food. This will be my last post now until MoFo starts next week, I have a lot of prep to do! But first, some random food.

First up, these Bark Bites (I ripped into the packet before taking the photo). I was gifted these by my brother, and they were really yummy. I love the tartness of the goji berries and the crunchiness of the coconut. They have some other flavour as well I'd like to try some time, though they are pricey so I'll wait to see them on sale.



Vegan bacon bits have been hard to come buy here. I have a very treasured packet of Wayfare Pig Out Bacun Bits that I brought home from the US once that I have been rationing out carefully, or I make my own using TVP (I have a number of recipes). But these crunchy treats from the Cruelty Free Shop are excellent and fill the void nicely.



So Delicious almond yoghurts hit Woolworths earlier this year. They are made in Australia, so I guess So Delicious is expanding. I hope they expand their ice cream making over here then so we can have less expensive pints! Anyway, the yoghurts come in three flavours - strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate coconut. I just got strawberry and vanilla. They are nice, good texture, though the Impressed Almond Milk Yoghurts are still my favourite. I have since tried the chocolate coconut one as well, which I grabbed on a super sale, just to try. It was just borderline for too coconutty for me, but was nice and tangy.



Finally, a fancy cheese! There are a lot of very fancy (and very expensive) vegan cheeses these days, even in Australia. Unfortunately most of them just seem to be made from coconut oil, which means I don't try them (good for the wallet!). But when cashew-based Dilectio came out earlier this year, their Camembert was coconut oil free! They also have a blue cheese, but that does have coconut oil. I bought this very small round of cheese for the grand price of AU$17. And... look, it was good. But I think it turns out that I am more a brie girl than a camembert girl. It was a bit...something for me. But I still enjoyed it, and my omni mum said it was indeed a good camembert, so I think it would be good for cheese platters!







Hope everyone has a good week, and I'll see you on the 1st of August for VeganMoFo!

Cute Kitty Photo of the Post



Remember all the kittens in the basket? Well, they all got homes fairly quickly, except for poor little Panko. He was all on his own for a bit. But in excellent news, this week he found his forever home! He will be very happy there.
