Good Stuff

Behold two of my current obsessions:

And guess what? They are amazing together, too.

I don't buy too many "prepared" vegan foods, but every so often I get a craving. Lately I've been jonesing for some Better Than Cream Cheese, and since they now make a non-hydrogenated version, I don't feel bad indulging.

Tonight, along with the tofutti, I decided to use some of the chipotle peppers I've had in my cupboard for awhile. If you haven't had chipotles before, you MUST try them. They are hot (they're jalapenos after all), but their smoky flavor is to die for. By mixing them into some faux cream cheese, you take out a lot of the bite, but still get that barbecue-like flavor. Yum. I minced two of the peppers and added them (plus a liitle bit of the adobo sauce) to about 1/4 a tub of cream cheese, and it wasn't too hot by any means.

Of course this would be good on a bagel, but I spread a thin layer on a tortilla, then added some salsa and rolled it up. It was a bit messy, but it tasted awesome!

I love that tofutti cream cheese too.. but I noticed a typo on the container. On top it says "0g trans fat," but on the side it says "2g trans fat." Wierd! I gave it the benefit of the doubt and assumed it meant 0.
