Wegmans is a fairly new player in the Richmond market, migrating from up north. I have friends who grew up with Wegmans and swear they are the best grocery stores ever! I’ve found the stores to be very nice, however, a bit pricey for some items. They also lack a few brands of my favoritesContinue reading “Grocery Store Tour for Vegans: Wegmans”

Easy Whole Grains: Village Harvest
A few weeks ago, I answered a random survey from Village Harvest to possibly engage in a consumer panel. I was excited to learn that I was selected, and I received some of their products last week! We all know how healthy whole grains are. It’s a staple of a healthy vegan diet! Farro, brownContinue reading “Easy Whole Grains: Village Harvest”
Grocery Store Tour for Vegans: Costco
The mecca of suburban consumerism lies within the walls of Costco. But who minds, really? They treat their employees well, the stores are clean, and in non-pandemic times, you can score free food. During these strange times, they were also one of the first stores to require face coverings to protect the health of bothContinue reading “Grocery Store Tour for Vegans: Costco”
Bake the World a Better Place
I was trying to come up with a clever title about cake for this post. The one I chose stuck with me. Because what I actually wanted to write about was the amazing cake I made last weekend. The interesting part of this wasn’t actually the cake, though. It’s the reason why I made itContinue reading “Bake the World a Better Place”
Buffalo Chickpea Salad
As we head into Independence Day weekend, we are also likely going to small, socially distanced get-togethers, and bringing food. In Virginia, we have officially moved into phase 3 of reopening with regard to the pandemic. If you are wisely choosing to stay at home this weekend, you can at least pretend you’re at aContinue reading “Buffalo Chickpea Salad”
Grocery Store Tour for Vegans: New Grand Mart
There’s a vegan I follow on Twitter who recently recommended to explore your local international market. I remembered that there is one not too far from us in the West End of Richmond that took over an abandoned Food Lion store. My daughter and I were up for an adventure the other day, so weContinue reading “Grocery Store Tour for Vegans: New Grand Mart”
Easy Guacamole
The old vegan party dip debate is… hummus vs. guacamole. Which one do you bring? Because, honestly, you are bringing this snack to guarantee that you’ll have something to eat! Alas, party days may be few due to the pandemic, but at my house, at least, guacamole is also an essential addition to our MexicanContinue reading “Easy Guacamole”
Grocery Tour Series for Vegans: Walmart
If I could afford to return to school, I would go back for an MPH. A master’s degree in public health with an emphasis on exercise and nutrition would expand my knowledge base, and it would help me fulfill my desire to help people live more active and healthy lifestyles, especially in the communities thatContinue reading “Grocery Tour Series for Vegans: Walmart”
Vegan Chorizo Stew
We’ve had a bought of cooler weather and rain this week in Richmond. We could all use a little comfort right now, don’t you think? This is a stew I threw together about a year ago, and it was so good, I’ve made it a few times since. The key ingredient is soy chorizo, lendingContinue reading “Vegan Chorizo Stew”
Grocery Tour Series for Vegans: Ellwood Thompson’s
Since we have begun to re-open in Virginia, at least for now, I will go ahead and continue on with my grocery tour for vegans series. This week, I’m taking you to one of Richmond’s locally owned organic grocers. My younger daughter is always up for an adventure, so before our visit, we took aContinue reading “Grocery Tour Series for Vegans: Ellwood Thompson’s”
