Sweet Avenue Bakery graciously invited me over for their pre-Oscar vegan ice cream tasting hosted by Wheeler’s Frozen Desserts. Well worth the 4 mile commute to Rutherford. Emily and Ashley tried to make me guess their special flavors. It was tough and I failed miserably, but I could pick out some key ingredients.
I tried five different vegan ice creams and sorbets. I had the Peanut Butter, Black Russian (mystery flavor #1), Margarita Sorbet (mystery flavor #2), Chocolate and Chocolate Sorbet.
The best flavor, hands down, was the Peanut Butter. I could taste the peanut butter and the creamy vegan ice cream just made it melt together so nicely. I did not like the Chocolate because it had chunks of coconut, even though they assured me it did not. I liked the others, but my second favorite was the Black Russian.
Good news though, Wheeler’s is opening a storefront, so the next time you are in Boston, head over. It will be opening on Mass Ave near Huntington. Apparently this is a prime location.
Thank you to Dani and Jake and the always-spectacular crew of Sweet Ave and to Wheeler’s for providing the goodies.
Feel free to check out Wheeler’s online. Sweet Ave put up some pictures of the event also. Look closely; you may just see someone that wrote this review

In honor of Groundhog’s Day…
Our friends at Sweet Avenue Bake Shop sent us an email this week with the following information.
Hey guys, you’re going to like this. We’re teaming up with Wheeler’s Black Label Vegan Ice Cream to offer an Oscar Party ice cream tasting to our customers on Saturday, February 23rd. The guys from Wheeler’s are going to be coming by our shop with lots of yummy vegan ice cream in tow for you guys to sample. There will, of course, be the usual cookies and cupcakes to go along with the ice cream, if you so desire.
If you aren’t familiar with them, Wheeler’s Black Label has a ridiculous variety of flavors, kinda like us. We think it’ll be a nice fit. There’s also a bit more info on Wheeler’s blog.

Now, the Review…
Sunday night, more than a dozen of our friends gathered for our Annual Potluck Thanksgiving Dinner. We ate green beans, mashed potatoes, cranberries, lasagna, salad, organic mac-n-cheese and two tofurkeys.
Everyone’s dishes were great, handmade with love, making them even better. The Tofurky roast takes a long time to cook, usually much longer than the recipe calls for. Not everyone enjoys the starchy consistency of the Tofurky roast, but I like it. It’s very woodsy especially when you cover it with the mushroom gravy.
If you are a vegetarian/vegan and want to feel part of the turkey eating crowd, this will do it for you, but there are other options. We decided this year is the last year for the roast. It’s not that to Tofurky is not good, but it’s not great either. It’s basically just a protein substitute. I don’t want you to think that I don’t like Tofurky products, but I can live without Tofurky on Thanksgiving.
If you are new to vegetarianism/veganism, go for it. Try the Tofurky roast, you may just like it.

Last month, I had the pleasure of attending a fundraiser for Pangea’s Beyond The Pink Ribbon (BTPR) Campaign. It was a nice evening in NYC with people who wanted a fun and informative night out.
Mitchell L. Gaynor MD. spoke to the audience about cancer and ways to cure and prevent cancer. He should know, he is an oncologist. Following Dr. Gaynor, Joshua Onysko, the founder of Pangea came back on to talk some more.
I briefly said hello to Josh and I walked around and talked some more. ABC home and carpet is a great location for an event. I want to thank the fantastic people from Pangea for inviting us. Check out the BTPR site for more info.
There were many companies taking part in the event and accepting donations. You can see the full list here.
Here’s a review for Pangea Organics products.
