JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

Good news at the coffee shop

I did a little happy dance this afternoon when I learned that Chelsee’s Coffee Shop & More on Trade Street is adding vegan cookies to its menu.

They’re the perfect treat to go with a cup of fair-trade coffee with soy milk. In addition to being vegan, the cookies from The Alternative Baking Co. in California are made with organic flour and sugar, and non-hydrogenated oils. That’s not to imply that they’re health food - who expects that of a cookie? From the one I tried, I’d say they’re just what a cookie should be - tasty and moist - vegan without compromising flavor or texture.

Flavors include chocolate chip, lemon poppyseed, oatmeal raisin, pumpkin spice and more. The cost is $3. One cookie is plenty big enough for two servings, and that’s how the nutritional information is written. I’ll be back tomorrow….
