Great hot chocolate!   Review Date: December 29, 2007 Reviewer: SSG, NJ This is the best hot chocolate next to Cadbury bought in Europe. Our 13 yr old would never drink her chocolate milk until we switched to this (unfortunately we don't have a steady supply of Cadbury's). It's great! Ghirardelli chocolate mocha hot cocoa-16 oz. can   Review Date: February 10, 2008 Reviewer: J. Gerard, Breckenridge, CO If you've never tried any of Ghirardelli's hot cocoa products you are in for a treat! Made with milk, the cocoa is far superior to any other cocoa product on the market. I don't drink coffee, but have a cup of this every morning. When made in the Froth Au Lait hot chocolate/latte maker, you will get the best cup of hot cocoa you ever had. It's the best for Coffee   Review Date: July 13, 2009 Reviewer: Faith Brennan, Put two tablespoons. in a large cup of fresh coffee and you have a great coffee mocha. I have recently tried several others that have been recommended and got great customer reviews online. None are as good as this one. Good stuff   Review Date: February 27, 2009 Reviewer: Alexander Kolozvary Jr., Orlando, FL Found this product discounted at a good price at slickdeals.net for about $10. First time drinking this stuff since I bought it. I was blown away at how awesome it taste. This was my first time trying something other than the Nestle brand cocoa (other than the few times I ordered cocoa at a cafe). Has a nice blend of mocoa/cocoa and doesn't taste too sweet like what I'm used to with Nestle. Definitely giving this a thumbs up. Rich, chocolatey beverage mix   Review Date: April 1, 2009 Reviewer: Michelle Szilagyi, Gregory, MI USA We appreciate the short list of ingredients on the Ghiradelli hot chocolate mixes. The Chocolate Mocha flavor is rich and chocolatey with out being overpowered by the coffee. This is one of our favorite cold weather drinks.

Melissa’s Vegan Blog

I’ve been working a lot more now and sadly my cooking was pretty non-existent for a while. That, and I also forgot to take pictures of the food I did make. But I do have a few things. A couple weeks ago, I made sticky pecan squares from 125 Best Vegan Recipes. They were really good. It’s basically a shortbread type base with the crunchy sweet pecan mix on top.

From V’Con I made the cashew quinoa stirfry, which was really good. I really enjoyed the quinoa cooked in pineapple juice. I also grilled some smoky tempeh to go along with it.

And for a party this weekend, I made vanilla gluten freedom cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes…mini style! They were so cute, and everyone really enjoyed them. I prefer the chocolate ones, but the vanilla ones aren’t bad either. Today, I made the chocolate ones to use up the icing I had leftover, which is just the buttercream frosting with a bit of red food colouring.

Ethiopian food in Las Vegas

Our last stop on our way home from California was back in Las Vegas for the night. I found a little Ethiopian restaurant, Cottage Cafe, for us to try. We were even able to talk my mother-in-law and her friend into trying it out with us (they are often skeptical of what crazy foods we’ll make them try next!). They were reluctant to join us, but were glad they did! I told them that eating Ethiopian food isn’t just eating. It’s an experience- one to share with your friends and family. On top of that, it’s super cheap.

This cafe was empty when we got there, and isn’t too pretty. Our waitress didn’t speak English, and there were holes in the table cloths. But, the food made up for it, and the price was worth every penny. We ordered the vegetarian combo plus one other dish (I forget which one.. but it was the one that was not included with the combo), to split between the 4 of us. There was plenty of food, and we even had leftovers.. all for about $22! You can’t beat that anywhere!

Oh, and by the way.. we stopped at Ronald’s donuts on our way out the next morning, and stocked up on donuts for the ride home! I wish we had one of those here!

Vegan in West L.A.

On our way out of Los Angeles, I really wanted some pancakes. I was jealous of our travel-mate that went and got pancakes in the cafe below our hotel, so I researched a bit online to try to find a place were we could get some too. I found a place called The Vegan Joint in West L.A. where we could stop on our way out of town.

Finding it was really easy, just off the freeway, and on a nice little corner-street. I got what I came for- pancakes with tofu scramble, called “Cowgirl Pankcakes”. Hubby was overwhelmed with all the options so he ordered pancakes, fresh spring rolls, and Pad Thai. My mother-in-law got some chicken pancakes- with fried chicken that was some of the best fake chicken I’ve tried. And our other travel mate that ate before we left really regretted eating so much because it was all so tasty!

Vegan in Santa Monica

Eating vegan in Southern California is easier than any other place I’ve been. There were a few options within walking distance from our hotel in Santa Monica. The first one I wanted to try was Juliano’s Planet Raw Cafe. I read an article in Men’s Journal about Woody Harrelson, he and the interviewer went to this cafe, so I thought it would be cool to try. I liked that they mentioned something about eating desert first, and I am always curious about raw vegan food, but don’t really plan on eating a raw diet at this point in my life.

I really loved the deserts here, and if I lived in this area I’d come back for them often. But the price tag was crazy-expensive! Oh, and there is also honey in some of the desserts.. and some of them are with agave nectar, so be sure to ask.

That same evening hubby and I got to go out to dinner by ourselves! We choose another restaurant within walking distance called Real Food Daily. I loved this place! It was very crowded and not very big, but the food was awesome. I ordered the soup of the day, Leek and Chickpea, the TV Dinner Meal- tempeh loaf with mashed potatoes, gravy, and veggies, and Tirimisu for desert.

Vegan on Catalina Island

Vegan dining on Catalina Island was much harder than I anticipated. You’d think that a hip little California town would be more veg-friendly, as they almost always are. Yet that is not the case when it comes to this island.

I did my research ahead of time to try to find a nice place to eat for our first and only night there. I found Ristorante Villa Portofino
which isn’t vegetarian, but I figured since the Chef also works for Vegetarian Times that the place should at least be veg-friendly. Well, I was wrong, as everything we ordered came back with cheese on it, even though we ordered everything without cheese. I’m not sure if that was just the fault of our terrible waiter, or the restaurant itself. The menu item we ordered, the Funghi Portobello, also looked like it should be vegan as well. And did you look at that price? $17.00 for the dish you see below! Hubby and I shared it.

The next day we hung out at the Casino, where all the Scuba diving happens. We stopped at a little beach side burger place to see if they had anything, and surprisingly they had a few veggie items on the menu. Their beans are lard-free and cooked fresh everyday. We ordered a plate of nachos- minus the cheese and sour cream, and a veggie sandwich- minus the mayo. It was all tasty, and satisfying for what it was.

So, if you are planning a trip to Catalina, you can get by as a vegan. There are plenty of pizza places you can order a veggie cheeseless pizza, but there is not much else. I’m sure we’ll be going back someday, since hubby is an avid scuba diver, and next time maybe there will be something vegan at the Mediterranean spot we saw on our way out.

Vegan Donuts in Las Vegas

On our way to California, I had to make a stop at Ronald’s Donuts… it was so worth the trip! These donuts are not healthy. But, they are vegan. I started out with a vegan cream filled/chocolate covered that was my favorite of all the ones I tried. I didn’t choose all the donuts in our box, if I would have there would be less apple filled ones (not much of an apple filling fan).

The top two shelves in the shop are all vegan. The bottom shelve is not, but all of those are the cake-type. There is every flavor you can imagine; glazed, sugared, bear claws, cinnamon twists, maple bars, jelly filled….

I’ve never tried the other ones that vegans rave about.. but these are the real deal!
