I’m a bit behind on posting 🥴 (my phone is brimming with photos-lol) This absolutely delicious cake was offered around Halloween.

So moist and spicy with, hands down, the best vegan buttercream frosting I’ve ever tasted! more

kyu Darn, I actually will be in AZ for the briefest of trips next month, but in Pheonix/Mesa/Gilbert area. I’ll make it out to Houlden’s someday, I swear it! 1 likeReply

I really love this company’s regular fig bars and these had a nice seasonal twist!

Pretty healthy and filling. Not too sweet and just the right amount of spice!

Would buy these again!

Mush Oats

Wanted to love it but it’s not for me.

I’m glad I tried it as the ingredients are super clean and that is always a nice way to start the day!

It was just a bit too runny for my liking and a bit ‘too healthy’ in taste. more

Don’t for a moment think that I didn’t scrape all of that delicious cheeze off of the paper because I most certainly did!

Griddled Mushrooms, Caramelized Onions, Swiss & Mayo.

I went with the house-made, slow-ferment more

Croissant wrapped Upton’s Naturals ‘Updog.’ This was a match made in Heaven.

Normally sold with some darned fine looking spicy brown mustard! (Which is one of the few flavors my tastebuds so ‘NO’ to so I went au naturel.)

This doesn’t look like much at all but it totally surprised me by how good it was!

In fact, I can’t stop thinking about it and want to go back for more! I had a mad craving for tortilla soup and this exceeded my expectations!

These were pricey but really good. I love corn and they didn’t disappoint!

Slightly charred and tossed with vegan elote seasoning. Tons of flavor!

Lovely local family owned & operated spot with quite a few ‘clearly marked’ more

An explosion of red chili goodness! Healthy and hearty broth filled with hominy and potatoes. Most certainly made with love.

Perfect dressed with cilantro, pico de gallo salsa and a squeeze of fresh lime juice!

Trader Joe's

I ABSOLUTELY love this! The coffee flavor is so good with the coconut undertone and the boba is a fun bonus!

It was super hard to stick with a sensible portion!

Reasonably priced!
