Claire - you are so right, those...Thanks everyone.<br /><br />Claire - you are so right, those biscuits do taste like weird tim-tams! But that hasn't stopped me having them occasionally :)<br />And thanks for the suggestion. Why haven't I made nut and date balls yet? Think I will make some today!<br /><br />Allysia - so true, that fake vegan stuff is not good for us. One of these days I am going to challenge myself to go totally natural for a month (no preservatives etc). Okay, maybe I will try it for a week first ;)<br /><br />Sarah - thanks for the link to the tofu cream cheese recipe. Will have to give that a try. I think Subi IGA will probably have more stuff than the Morley/Maylands IGAs. Will check it out next time I am over that way.<br /><br />xxxMandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615563913854946465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749491115727358019.post-53452488229675792732011-10-06T10:54:27.058+08:002011-10-06T10:54:27.058+08:00And this tofu cream cheese looks pretty easy to ma...And this tofu cream cheese looks pretty easy to make:<br />http://www.theveggietable.com/recipes/tofucreamcheese.html<br />I guess you'd just leave out the pepper and salt if using it for muffins.Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749491115727358019.post-2949346072969160312011-10-06T10:46:40.564+08:002011-10-06T10:46:40.564+08:00I found tofutti cream "cheese" really ea...I found tofutti cream "cheese" really easily in Perth, but can't remember where. It was with the tofu in the fridge section of a supermarket - probably IGA in Leederville or FarmerJjacks in Subi as they were where I shopped most often.Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749491115727358019.post-76553805669448066202011-10-06T08:26:14.455+08:002011-10-06T08:26:14.455+08:00I guess the good news of your scenario is, vegan c...I guess the good news of your scenario is, vegan cream cheese and all those specialty products are crap for you anyway. That's what I sometimes tell myself wandering past vending machines! :)<br /><br />But I hear ya, my city isn't exactly the vegan mecca. Not like Portland...holy crap. I ate so much. Heaven.<br /><br />And it's folks like us who are turning the tides and making it easier for vegans of the future! :)Allysiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16097190577011498780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749491115727358019.post-38910351299061799952011-10-06T07:06:52.739+08:002011-10-06T07:06:52.739+08:00I know exactly what you mean, when I'm feeling...I know exactly what you mean, when I'm feeling blah about the little hard things about being vegan I think about people doing it in the 60's/70's and how easy we have it by comparison. <br />I've found having quick & easy recipes can really help. If I'm grumbling about how I just want junk and have a look over my blog I can usually sooth myself with home made hummus, a smoothie or a nut and date ball.<br />It might be a good thing that you can see vegan junk food as a treat and really appreciate when you get to eat out. <br />You're right, it will always get easier, hang in there :)<br />p.s. I think those biscuits taste like weird tim tams.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632090562711819003noreply@blogger.com
