Sometimes we need a break ...

I often find myself in the kitchen. It is my goto place. It brings me comfort. It inspires me.

But, there are those days when something quick and easy is what I need. Those days happen so I prepare myself by having some vegan options available that require little of me. Like turning on the oven is about it. I had already made saffron mashed potatoes and a salad is a given my 'entree' was my cheat food. Gardein offers many very meatlike foods like turkey cutlets (my choice for today's lunch), BBQ 'chicken', fish sticks, chicken strips and crunchy chicken strips, and a host of other options. My caution lies in that the main ingredients for these foods is soy. As a woman who researches, I have learned the dangers of excessive soy. Granted these products use a non-GMO soy, which makes me feel a little bit better, but I still eat these products in moderation and am sure to eat other foods with them.

So, if you're struggling with 'going vegan' or just adding more meatless meals to your menus, Gardein can help.
