Yummy gluten free waffles at your local grocery store

So Ralph's has line that used to say Krogers and now it is called Simple Truth, the equivalent to Costco's Kirkland brand. I purchased a lot of the Simple Truth products from frozen fruit to pastas. Their Simple Truth organic coffee is amazing by the way. It blows Starbucks out of the water! Sorry Starbucks.

Back to the gluten free vegan portion of my post... Yesterday while walking down the frozen food aisle at Ralph's I spotted these waffles. They are much cheaper than the waffles I would buy at Whole Foods foods and a quite delicious. I highly a recommend trying these out. Whether you are gliten fee or vegan or not, these waffles or something everyone can enjoy. I got the blueberry ones because I love blueberries!

If you're a butter pecan ice cream fan... Here's it vegan and gluten free!

One thing I miss dearly after becoming a vegan are my favorite ice cream flavors. It has been a good 2 1/2 years since my last real, made-with-milk, butter pecan ice cream adventure. Sometimes, I have cravings for foods from the past that are non-vegan...I am human, after all. I don't eat them, but yes, I do crave, miss, and occasionally think about how tasty they were. 

Last night, as I was trailing the aisles of my neighborhood Ralphs, I spotted a carton of Purely Decadent Turtle Trails soy ice cream on sale for $4.29. 
The caramel looked so delicious for a midnight snack, so I took this little baby home with me. No bowl, spoon in hand, I dug in hoping for the best. As you may know after trying soy or coconut milk ice creams, many of them are not up to par with their dairy counterparts. Yum! I was so pleased with the creamy consistency, the pecan crunchiness, caramel and chocolate-y goey goodness, that I found this ice cream better than regular butter pecan! It's an upgraded butter pecan. So try Turtle Trails for your next craving and you may be Decadent-ly surprised. 

Ice cream = happiness. ;-) Mmmm. Yes.
