Campbell’s & Mancini?
A Proposition: I have in my lifetime bought more jars of sweet red roasted peppers than cans of Campbell's Tomato Soup (my childhood favorite of all their soups). It needs to be 100% guaranteed free of animal products. That's the only line I draw. You can do it, and I know people will buy it.Continue reading "Campbell’s & Mancini?"

BEER NUTS
They're sweet and salty - just like they advertise. I don't know why, but for some reason I thought Beer Nuts had honey on them, so for years I passed them by. Steve brought some home for Lilly Belle, and lo and behold when I checked the label - no honey. Nice!

LUNA BURGER
The only good things about this burger are the packaging, the beets and that it's pure plant. Lilly Belle wouldn't even eat it.
