Whatever Wednesday: Unpaid Product Review, El Recreo Estate Coffee
Mary Kate’s Take: Earlier this year, Denise and I went to the very first New Hampshire Veg Fest, held at Manchester Community College. It was a small, but promising, event, with a lot of local vendors. Between the two of us, Denise and I weren’t able to taste too much — many vegetarian and vegan…

Cashew-Chocolate Pudding Popsicles

I was really unhappy with the allergy diagnosis. I felt like I…

Whatever Wednesday Product Review: Earth Balance Mindful Mayo
Mary Kate’s Take: I’ll start off by telling you that, as a midwesterner, I grew up on Miracle Whip, not mayo. Throughout my pre-allergen life, I used both, pretty much inter-changeably, and never much thought about it. I was never a rabid lover of mayo, nor was I a hater — mayo/MW had its…
