We recently placed a big order, including some cold and frozen items. (See shipping notes at the end of the post.) One thing I had been wanting to try: Sophie's Kitchen Breaded Fish Fillets. I liked these a lot (and also like that they use non-gmo soy and corn). They are not that different, I think, than other chik'n patties, I've had. I don't know if I've ever eaten fish in my life (maybe when I was toddler), so I can't really speak on similarities there or anything.
I thought I should make the most of the experience by also ordering this Tartar Sauce. I imagined (and hoped) it was going to be very creamy, but it was more like an oily dressing. It tasted very good on my sandwich, regardless.
Ingredients: Organic sunflower oil, water, organic cucumbers, organic wine vinegar, raw organic cane sugar, organic onions, organic mustard, organic cornstarch, sea salt, plant protein, organic spices, carob bean flour, organic dill.
Here we go. Probably the tastiest thing I ordered: Peanut Butter Pillows with Chocolate. They taste like Butterfingers. I always see these Butterfinger desserts I think look so delicious. So I whipped this bad boy up. Cheesecake from Tofu & Soyfoods Cookery, topped with the Pillows that I'd pounded while they were in the bag. A little Soyatoo on top. The PB/Choc. Pillows are really delicious and not as pricey as some vegan decadent chocolates. ($5.49 for a bag containing enough to cover this cheesecake and some leftover.)
We don't have White Chocolate Chips around here to buy, so I snagged up two bags. And at $4.29 a bag, they're cheaper than most vegan chocolate chips I ever buy.
Therefore, if you win the giveaway, you could always make a batch of Almost Vegan Chef's White Chocolate Peanut Butter Blondies, like we did. Really great recipe!
I had always wanted to try Dr-Cow Nut Cheese. I did not realize the package would be so tiny (and it isn't cheap). I was told that some people love it, and some people just don't. I definitely loved it.
I could have eaten it all at once, but I have spaced it out to enjoy a little at a time. I'd like to try the other flavors (like kale or blue-green algae). I've made plenty of cashew type cheeses at home, but nothing I've made is exactly like this (and Dr-Cow's contains acidophilus).
We got a pack of 2-pack of Strawberry Cream Canoe Boats (which we've frozen away for a rainy day) and also a pack of Chocolate Covered Canoe Boats. Here is a review I'd originally written for my family blog on the Canoe Boats and Moo-Cluck Creme-Filled Cupcakes that we'd ordered from Pangea two years ago (when my kids look so small, sniff).
I ordered two packs of Sweet & Sara's Strawberry Marshmallows. My son saw non-vegan strawberry marshmallows awhile back and asked if there were vegan ones to buy. I said I really doubted it. We did a search on Pangea, and he could not have been happier to see these.
So that we would be ready for any fall cookouts (S'mores!) we might want to have, I also ordered two different kinds of graham crackers, Sweet & Sara and Grateful Grahams. I didn't know which ones we would like better, and I didn't want to miss out on the better choice! Our family was kind of split on which was the favorite. Sweet & Sara's are crispier (which I preferred), and Grateful Grahams are a softer graham (which others in my family preferred). After our taste-test, I also threw these in the freezer for safe keeping.
I bought a few things to put away for the kid's Halloween bags, including Whizzer's Chocolate Beans...
and Eli's Earth Bars. I had forgotten that I think I like the Treasure Bars even more than the Dream Big Bars. (Warning: even though these bars are delicious, they're rather small. Maybe that's a good thing.)
If you won the giveaway, just think: you could order over 40 Bug Bites or Chimp Mints.
Have you tried Vega's Shake & Go Smoothies? I've only gotten to try chocolate, so far, and it is sooo good. I like to make a Choc-a-Lot Shake with frozen bananas, frozen cherries, and almond milk.
Choc-A-Lot: Organic green pea protein, vegan natural flavors, organic coconut palm nectar, flaxseed, hemp protein, organic sprouted brown rice protein, organic green food blend (alfalfa grass, organic kale leaf, organic spinach leaf, organic broccoli sprout, spirulina), xanthan gum, digestive enzyme blend, and dairy-free probiotic blend (L. acidophilus, B. bifidum).
If you prefer hearty or savory over sweet, there are plenty of choices, like these Tasty Bite Meals, Nacho Mom's Quesos, Bragg's, gravy mixes - you name it. I always forget to order Soy Curls, which I'd like to do because I have yet to try them.
We're big fans of Chreesy Mashed Potatoes.
I didn't order any, but I thought these boxes looked really cute and fun. They sell something very similar (but non-vegan) on some airlines, so I'd like to get some the next time we travel.
There are five pages of items labeled specifically gluten-free, including this book.
Pangea is not limited to food. There are vitamins, books, shoes, cleaning supplies, and companion animal supplies. ETC!
I like these.

Thank you, Pangea, for offering this
giveaway to one of my Vegan Month of Food readers!
Love Pangea! That was the first store that brought me vegan sweets. I used to order cases of brownies from them. I've been wanting to try those Eli's bars forever.
ReplyDeleteFun fun fun!
I know I would get Eli's Earth bars! They're so good. And white chocolate chips! And other stuff!!

ReplyDeleteOh wow, thanks I didn't know about Pangea, they have so many chocolates! and marshmallows! I'm excited!
ReplyDeleteI'm following your blog now too :)
Oh, that Dr. Cow! I've loved most of the flavors I have tried. I'm a big fan of the kale one.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the white chocolate chips! I've never had decent vegan white chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try some of the vegan chocolates and baked goods they have for sale. Thanks for offering such an awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love Dr. Cow! And I am dying to get some white chocolate chips!
ReplyDeleteAll I gotta say is: CONDENSED SOYMILK?!?! hello...
ReplyDeleteaaand now I'm following you via GFC- yay!
ReplyDeleteI could always use more white chocolate chips. Always! :)
ReplyDeleteI already follow you of course. I'd love to win! Looks like you found some GREAT finds! I still have yet to try the sweet and sara marshmallows. I always wanted to though!
ReplyDeleteI've never ordered from Pangea but it looks like a very cool shop. I'd love some Alternative Baking Company Peanut Butter Cookies and Liz Lovely Classic Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies...among other things! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI tried to get there the last time I was in the DC area and couldn't make it. I would really like to try Rawtella!
ReplyDeleteThe cheesecake and blondies look good. There are so many things I would buy from Pangea if I had the money, and I admit it'd mostly be sweets. Probably a ton of PB cups, some cinnamon rolls, and those canoe boat/Twinkie things. Mmmm.
ReplyDeleteI liked Pangea's page on FB! :)
I just posted a link on twitter (:

I'm just glad to know about the site. I definitely need to check it out. So many awesome products to try! Loving the Dr. Cow.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course I already follow your blog via google!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI liked them on FB as well. And if I don't win, can we please at least get together and try some of the yummy foods????
ReplyDeleteButterfingers were my absolute favorite candy bar as a kid, and I would LOVE to try those peanut butter pillows! I love the idea of topping a cheesecake with them, but I doubt I would want to give any up and would probably just eat them all myself :)
ReplyDeleteEverything you posted looks so good. I never really liked white chocolate (why have white when you can have, you know, actual chocolate?) in my pregan days but these days I see "vegan" and "white chocolate" together and get really really excited.
ReplyDeleteThere was a store around here that was selling Dr. Cow for a while but they stopped carrying it, which broke my heart... thanks for the reminder that it is still available via mail order!
there are so many things here that i would love to try, especially that dr. cow cheese.

ReplyDeleteWow - I want to try the Nut Cheese & Vega Smoothie Mix - I haven't ordered from a vegan store yet, this sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI also just liked Pangea of Facebook - and found out they have a sale on Vegan Jerky! I've been wanting to try that!
ReplyDeleteCool giveaway! I'd get the Eli's Earth Bars or Dr. Cow cheese. I've had both and thought they were great, but I agree with you that the cheese is on the very small side. It's hard to have that much restraint to make it last, especially if two people are eating it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! I've actually never ordered any food items online before, so I'm excited to check out Pangea and anxious to try lots of things that aren't available here in Little Rock! Been particularly interested in the Dr-Cow Nut Cheeses!
ReplyDeleteFantastic giveaway! I'd love to try Dr. Cow because I've never had it. :)
ReplyDeleteI also Liked Pangea on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try those Sweet n' Sara marshmallows. I've only been able to find Dandies.
ReplyDeleteI have never had vegan white chocolate and it is probably the only thing that I miss from my omni days. Growing up, it was always my favorite so I know that would be must on my shopping list if I won! The Dr. Cow nut cheese is one that I have heard rave reviews about but it is not available anywhere near me so I would definitely have to order that too!
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to try the Dr. Cow Cheese!

ReplyDeleteThat fillet sandwich looks soo good! I've tried Sophie's vegan calimari and liked them. I'll have to check out the fillets, and I've been wanted to try the Dr. Cow for some time...I've seen it around the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful items!!
I don't do Facebook, but I do follow you. :)

ReplyDeleteSo many good choices! I love the Tasty Bite microwave meals, though if I win I would probably order something else since I can easily get those locally, whereas the other stuff is harder to find. I have done all the things on the list! I am not sure how to link to an individual Twitter post, but my Twitter is @choirqueer.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a haul! I've always wanted to order from Pangea but just never have. The cheesecake you made with the Peanut butter pillows looks like perfection! Cheesecake factory eat your heart out! I didn't know where to find white chocolate chips but then I remembered to go try a kosher store (which we have plenty of around here) and jackpot! at $3 a bag it is a great deal too! OK so I now like Pangea on FB and I'm going to blog about this giveaway in my next post :) Yay!! There is so much to choose from on that site but I'd probably go with chocolate and/or cheeze :)
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of a good vegan tartar sauce. That sandwich looks mighty tasty.
ReplyDeleteI'm also now following your blog. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely get Dr Cow cheese!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see you made my blondies! That seriously makes my day! Love those things!
ReplyDeleteI follow you in Google Reader!

ReplyDeleteMan, I would load up on white chocolate chips. I'm in Chicago and even I can't find them.
ReplyDeleteI'd sooo love this, and probably drop a lot of it on that Dr. Cow cheese. Oh so good!

I am super curious about Dr.Cow. I have read a couple of posts about it and want to try it, but it is a bit pricey. So many awesome products to choose from.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Pangea. I will have to go check their website out as soon as I leave your blog. I'm all about those chocolat beans! :0). Actually everything you have listed sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI liked Pangea on facebook. The cheesecake looks amazing.

ReplyDeletei would really really like to try dr. cow cheese. i can never seem to find it where i live.

ReplyDeletehow awesome to do this giveaway. Pangea was the original online vegan store that I found out about, and it was such a godsend! I love those little whizzers candies too! :) I love that they have so many different things -from sweeties to vitamins. :)
ReplyDeleteI just had one of the go picnic boxes and it was great - I picked it up at a health food store to eat at the airport, and it was a relief to have gluten-free vegan food with me :)
ReplyDeleteThat Dr. Cow cheese looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to buy/try Vega's Shake & Go Smoothies if I was the lucky winner!
