Trader Joe's vegan soy creamer is quite good, without chalky aftertaste and Soy Delicious Coconut Creamer is amazing. I also use plain almond milk sometimes with good results.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05640887063339305700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551994369636725839.post-91088946056781730762010-10-24T00:17:59.697-04:002010-10-24T00:17:59.697-04:00bitt of raw,.. i have looked, and you are right, i...bitt of raw,.. i have looked, and you are right, i've gotten a lot of ideas from those sites. it does take time, and indeed is like learning a new language. i've just discovered the community, so i'm still walking around introducing myself :) thanks for the post!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927164838699702741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551994369636725839.post-9823762500003005272010-10-23T01:34:55.051-04:002010-10-23T01:34:55.051-04:00There are many vegan substitutes for the things yo...There are many vegan substitutes for the things you describe. I am not good at knowing them all as I tend to eat whole foods and I have allergies. Have you gone to any websites like http://www.veganstore.com/? Even browsing there will give you an idea of what's out there. Hang in there, it takes time. The whole world is full of animal abuse and explotation and it's hidden, so it's like learning a new language to figure out what is/isn't vegan.bitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897733975604744859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551994369636725839.post-892547590738509262010-10-22T16:48:24.746-04:002010-10-22T16:48:24.746-04:00noelle,.. thanks for the post! cheese is really a ...noelle,.. thanks for the post! cheese is really a hard one for me as well. the fake stuff is not that satisfying, because i still remember what it is i am missing. i'm sure that will fade. i know if you drink diet coke for a while, you'll get used to it<br /><br />colleen,.. silk and so-d are both very good, its the powdered ones that are hard to find. still on a quest. EB is great, it was one of the first things we switched over too, and i could have done it years ago. thanks!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927164838699702741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551994369636725839.post-56892209202536183272010-10-22T11:55:14.214-04:002010-10-22T11:55:14.214-04:00Progress is huge, so don't be hard on yourself...Progress is huge, so don't be hard on yourself. :)<br /><br />I can say, however, that Silk soy creamer is the shiznit (as the kids apparently say) and that it is vegan. Absolutely love that stuff.<br /><br />Butter: Have you tried Earth Balance? When I first went vegan, I tried a number of non-butter subs and none were very good. Earth Balance, however, I eat on fresh baguette and everything else (including fiddleheads, which MUST be made in no other way except with salt, pepper, and butter or "butter"); I also use E.B. in baking.Bookphiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155882653615842141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551994369636725839.post-69985671934852979272010-10-20T09:02:31.430-04:002010-10-20T09:02:31.430-04:00I liked your post.

That's the big problem with most people - they eat the bones/fish sauce/ghee... without being conscious of it. You're taking note and trying to do better. That's amazing :)vegangelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859895656773758056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551994369636725839.post-33998146669240215402010-10-17T16:18:41.098-04:002010-10-17T16:18:41.098-04:00thank you cel. its nice to get outside encourageme...thank you cel. its nice to get outside encouragement, as i tend to obsess about how well i am doing.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927164838699702741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551994369636725839.post-44330651140496451942010-10-17T15:44:50.283-04:002010-10-17T15:44:50.283-04:00You don't owe anyone anything.
