2025 Contest Prize Wins updated March 2025

  Last year I started keeping track of the prizes I won. You can read that post here  2024 Contest Prize Wins . It is a great post to have for memories so I’m going to start a new post for 2025. I won a limited edition veg’n bake box from Wholly Veggie. This is a very interesting prize because there are only 100 of these limited edition boxes made so I’m excited to be one of the rare people that received one.  These are coating blends but they don’t have wierd chemicals ingredients in them. They are made with vegetables, seasonings, and a few other normal ingredients. There are three flavours and the clover one smelled so good I had to try it.  These shakers can be used on anything just wet the ingredients shake it up in a container with a lid and bake. I was thinking when I was vegetarian I used to make shake&bake tofu often and since I have been vegan I haven’t made it. I like these seasonings because I try and avoid chemicals in my food and using a container t...

Another vegan chocolate tasting

Image
 When I was at the mall recently I noticed a lot of new vegan chocolate options. Of course I had to buy a few.  There was a moo free section on the easter chocolate display. I bought the smallest Easter bunny for $2.99 but there is a big Easter egg I really want to try. It was out of my budget for the day but let me know if you want me to do an Easter vegan chocolate review in the future.  The bunny was very cute. The chocolate is made with rice milk which I really like in chocolate. It tasted just like a regular solid Easter bunny.     I found the dwarf stars pumpkin seed butter cups in the sale section of London drugs. I was excited to see vegan white chocolate at my local pharmacy/store. It was on sale for $3.99. These were very good. There is a nice subtle taste in the chocolate the only explanation I can find in the ingredients is rosemary extract. It doesn’t taste like rosemary but the flavour mixed with the ingredients tastes really good. This chocolate i...

I tried to make Ashley’s 2 ingredient instantpot cheesecake vegan

Image
On my heartbeets.com there is a 2 ingredient instantpot cheesecake recipe which uses sweetened condensed milk and yogurt. The website states that she does not have a good vegan alternative. I have tried to veganize this recipe before. I used biscoff cookies, oat yogurt, and sweetened condensed milk. I thought it was good but I don't like oat yogurt and the recipe could be improved. This time I have better ingredients. Activia now makes a plant based yogurt which is delicious. I also have accidently vegan cookies. They have a really fluffy nice filling. I thought I would use the cookies as the crust and mix the filling with the yogurt and condensed milk. I don't have a cheesecake pan so i just used a cake pan that fits in the instantpot. I greased the pan with vegan butter and grinded the cookies in the magic bullet. I was having a hard time mixing the cookie filling into the yogurt mixture so I also mixed it in the magic bullet. Then I poured the mixture into t...
