Soap is great. It makes you feel clean and smell better, which I find to be one of the simplest pleasures in life. However, the difference between a mundane experience and a refreshing one comes down to something as simple as soap.
And Tracy over at strawberryhedgehog makes great soap, which is, not coincidentally, vegan-friendly. I have been using some for the last week or two and I can truly say it is great stuff. Sometimes hard to purchase if you are a college student on a budget, but good for small, thoughtful gifts for others and for treating yourself every once in a while.
UPDATE: For those of us who stink at buying soap regularly, check out the soap club!

Recently, as I was making vegan beef macaroni, I was reflecting upon the fact that I’ve come to fall in love with Classico Roasted Garlic pasta sauce.
I used to be a huge Prego fan, until they started putting sugar in their Traditional pasta sauce. Since then I’ve been bouncing around from product to product trying [...]

Recently, as I was making vegan beef macaroni, I was reflecting upon the fact that I’ve come to fall in love with Classico Roasted Garlic pasta sauce.
I used to be a huge Prego fan, until they started putting sugar in their Traditional pasta sauce. Since then I’ve been bouncing around from product to product trying to find whatever was available at my local store. Noticing that Classico was on sale the other day, and that the Roasted Garlic variety (though not all!) come sans sugar, I picked up a bunch.
It’s not as garlicy as I’d like, but I won’t complain too much, since it’s pretty good for the price and ease.
Some day I’d like to grow my own stuff and can my own sauce, but until then, I wonder what other people do for easy, vegan pasta sauce?

I don’t know if you all have Wegmans or not (you can check on their site here), but just a few years ago they opened up a store near my high school in Moorestown, NJ. At first I assumed that the Wegmans would be a replacement for the old chain Zagara’s, which was none for [...]

I don’t know if you all have Wegmans or not (you can check on their site here), but just a few years ago they opened up a store near my high school in Moorestown, NJ. At first I assumed that the Wegmans would be a replacement for the old chain Zagara’s, which was none for having sort of fancy, expensive food.
It was for this reason I wasn’t excited at first. However, I was drug to the store by some friends on the second day it was open anyway. Even though I wasn’t vegan at the time, I was surprised to find a grocery store with even lower prices than I was used to and a huge selection of vegetarian and organic options.
Returning these days I can generally find anything I want (except the Sunspire chocolate chips I use for cookies), and usually at much lower prices than I’m used to paying for vegan-specific food.
However, the really neat thing about Wegmans, and the thing I really love about the store, is that they go out of there way to have clear labeling on the store brand. I was wandering around the other day before going on my road trip and I bumped into some Wegmans brand soda. I figured I’d bring some soda on the trip with me, so I went to check to see if there was any sugar in it. Much to my chagrin, not only did the soda not have sugar, but it was labeled vegan!
Well, that my seem small, but that just about solidifies my glowing opinion of Wegmans. I’d prefer the Hanover Co-op up at school, but for around home in NJ, nothing can beat the Wegmans. Does anyone else like them or have a store that’s just that amazing?
