Welcome to another day of VeganMoFo, the month of vegan food. VeganMoFo is an annual event where bloggers dedicate their time and their blogs to posting about vegan food every weekday for a whole month. This year The “V” Word’s theme is “Vegan Products I Love.” These are products worth writing about, reading about, buying, trying and spreading the word about. And if any of these products inspired recipes, I will share those as well.
Today is all about Leahey Foods. Leahey develops products under the brand name Leahey Gardens for the natural, vegan and vegetarian consumer. They “take pride in providing foods with just the right balance of spice and seasoning to give you a delicious, health conscious meal.”
Speaking of products, Leahey makes a lot of them. Trudy, The “V” Word’s Spokescow, would like to model some of them for you.
They make vegan and gluten-free cookie mixes in chocolate chip, oatmeal, snickerdoodle and sugar. Each bag makes about 3 dozen cookies. The cookies are so yummy you may not want to share them so buy 2 bags!
They make Macaroni & Cheese and Cheese Flavored Sauce Mix and two entrees: No Beef Stroganoff and Red Beans and Rice. The No Beef Stroganoff is a skillet meal with a blend of creamy No Beef sauce with rotini pasta. This is comfort food, for sure.
The Red Beans and Rice is a protein-filled hearty dish of long-grain rice and red beans. This is a winner! Yum!
Leahey makes soup. Vegan and gluten-free No Beef Rice Soup, No Chicken Rice Soup, Cheese Type Broccoli Soup, and Potato Soup. The soups are hearty with rich, savory flavors and veggies. The noodle soups have ribbon pasta and vegetables. The soups are really good!
If you love gravy, you’re in luck because Leahey makes a lot of gravy. There is Creamy Gravy, Mushroom Gravy, No Beef Brown Gravy, No Chicken Golden Gravy, and No Beef Mexican Style Gravy. These gravies also come in gluten-free versions. Of all the products, the gravies are my favorite. They are rich, smooth, creamy and have the perfect blends of spices. Their flavors are rich and delicious, better than you might think you would get out of an envelope. You can even get a Sampler Pack with one of each type of gravy. Do it. They are amazing!
Check out Leahey Foods web site for recipes, product information and ordering instructions. Their products are also available from online vegan stores like Pangea and Vegan Essentials.
Thank you, Leahey Foods, for making such delicious, healthy, and convenient vegan foods!
