WANT MORE OF WHERE THAT CAME FROM? Never miss a single post and get a little something extra on Saturdays. Eugene it is pretty much everywhere. In Seattle, my mom can get it in the vegetarian section of Fred Meyer. Second the Toby’s, widely available in Portland! And the tortilla chips must be Juanita’s! When I host I usually shop Trader Joe’s with a theme in mind- Greek night, Tex-mex night, Asian night, cheese board night, it adds a unifying touch that makes the party spread feel so put together.
I have discovered so many fun new products that way. One year I hosted a holiday champagne party and wanted to serve heavy food without doing dishes, so the theme became all hand held items- no fork and knife and must be able to hold glass of champagne in the non eating hand! People were floored by the spread and kept remarking what a fancy party it was, even though I didn’t make anything myself. And the chocolate mousse cakes they make are amazing.
At Christmas time they are in the shape of presents, at Halloween time pumpkins, at easter time eggs, during the summer flowers. So you can have a delicious and seasonally adorable dessert any time of the year! Um, I think we would all agree that Shepherd’s Pie pairs with an ale or stout. And sign me UP for English Pub Night! Just wanted to mention that the samosas and vegetable spring rolls are both vegan. They also have a vegan feta!
I’ve never looked at that bruschetta sauce so I’m not sure if it has cheese or something, but it looks like it may be vegan. They also have a vegan boursin cheese spread that is sooo good on crackers. The vegan Romero sauce is really good. Also the falafel with the vegan tasiki and hummus. I also love their zhong dip on everything. FYI, the lentils are so good I usually just gobble them up alone.
