Mock Chicken Salad with Vegenaise

This is genius. I can't believe I never knew about this before! I bought Vegenaise and have been really excited to try it out (and also really nervous). Then on Rachel Ray the other day, Gwyneth & Rachel are discussing their love for Vegenaise, even though neither of them are vegan. That made me really excited to try it! But, the problem - what to try it with? I am not eating tuna, or turkey...what else do you put mayo on?

Then I came across this recipe for "Mock Chicken Salad". Basically you just mash chickpeas and add vegenaise and it's delicious! I tried out 2 types - some with relish and then with kalamata olives. The relish won by a mile! It's amazing! I just threw on a roll, and I felt like I was eating chicken salad. Enjoy!!

Product Review: Gardein Chicken Strips

Since Dan had a work dinner, my sister & her husband came over to keep me company tonight. (Noticing a pattern? I hate to be alone...) Anyway, to repay them for spending their evening with me and a cranky baby, I made them dinner!

I decided to try out these new Gardein Chicken strips I bought the day I decided to go veg. I just popped them in the oven and served them plain (Jeff and I used buffalo sauce, Laura ketchup...we are like children). They were fab! So delicious! I thought they tasted very chicken-like and are a great chicken sub. I am pretty sure Dan is going to enjoy them also.

A+ for Gardein! Can't wait to try out their other products.



My next review will be on Vegenaise & Vegan parmesan cheese...I'm scared.
