365 Organic Yellow Corn Taco Shells Review

365 Organic Yellow Corn Taco Shells Review

It is very difficult for us to find organic gluten free taco shells here in Greece, in fact, so far it has been impossible. The only taco shells we have been able to find here have been non-organic and may contain traces of gluten. When we have tried these shells, they have made us itch all over and do not agree with our digestive system so well. So, my mom sent me a pack of these 365 organic yellow corn taco shells. There are 12 shells in a pack and surprisingly only 3 of them were damaged on their journey across the Atlantic Ocean!  Continue reading 365 Organic Yellow Corn Taco Shells Review

So, thank you Bamboo Vegan! In this review we will be taking a look at two different kinds of the Sheese cheddar vegan cheeses available.

Vegan Meatball Marinara Sub – Gluten Free

Vegan Meatball Marinara Sub - Gluten Free

Before I was a vegan I used to love to eat the Subway meatball marinara sub. It was the inspiration behind making this vegan meatball marinara sub and I must say it was delicious! We used a Schnitzer’s gluten free vegan bread from Botanica Bio-market (we have noticed Bamboo Vegan carries Schnitzer’s bread in Athens as well) as the bread for this sub. You could always make our simple gluten free vegan bread (click here for recipe) as well. Other than that, here is what else you will need to prepare to make this sandwich yourself:

Vegan Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza

*Sigh* Vegan bacon cheeseburger pizza. As a boy growing up there were three things I loved: music, American football and bacon cheeseburger pizza from a joint known as Godfather’s Pizza. In this recipe I wanted to make my favorite kind of pizza on my favorite style of pizza crust: stuffed crust! To make this pizza vegan and gluten free was a nice treat for me. Here is how it’s done:

Organica Hazelnut Nougat & Dark Chocolate Candy Bar Review

Jake: One day Athanasia was looking around the internet for vegan gluten free snacks and treats to have something she could bring with her for school. That is when she found these Organica Hazelnut Nougat & Dark Chocolate candy bars (click here to order in Europe). She read some reviews from other people who had tried them and said everybody loved them! So I ordered some for us to try and sure enough, we loved them too! Of course, it is always nice to have a quick snack that we do not have to make or prepare…

We ordered some of this vegan gluten free easy bake bread mix from Orgran. We could not be more impressed with it! We followed the instructions exactly as they are written on the box (except, we took it out of the oven about 3 minutes before they recommended since our knife came out clean).
