    YAS! Love that tortellini, and I’m a big fan of the Rao’s roasted garlic sauce. I think it’s the sweetness from the onions and carrots that elevate it above all other pasta sauces. Definitely excited to try the frozen JustEgg. I agree the liquid version is okay but not out-of-this-world

      @anti-ethniccleansing465 3 роки тому

      I’ve never tried RAO’s, but I’ve always been all about Trader Joe’s marinara sauce. It basically has the same exact ingredients, and tastes just like the homemade marinara sauce my Italian great grandmother used to make (one of the reasons I originally hunted it down was because it didn’t have any sugar in it, which it seems like nearly all other store bought marinara sauce brands use).

  • @angeldupee1079
    @angeldupee1079 3 роки тому

    Just egg is also available at Hannaford if anyone’s wondering. I just tried is recently, (the liquid version), and it’s my favorite!!! I was worried because I’ve tried the vegan egg in the past and think it’s great for baking, but definitely not something I like to use if I want to eat scrambled eggs. The Just Egg is perfect if you want to eat it by itself. It’s not super eggy tasting, but there is flavor and definitely is a major egg alternative. I could eat a whole bottle by myself and I love to coat home fries in while frying.

    We've had violife in the UK for years!! I actually find it's a bit rubbery when it's melted, but that's the other varieties from them like the slices and the original block! The mature cheddar block is amazing! I haven't melted it either tho haha

    I completely agree that the folded Just Egg is better than the bottle version, and of course I love that it’s frozen so there’s no need to have to worry about it going bad quickly. I love the VioLife cheddar slices, haven’t seen the block yet, but I’ll be looking for sure.

  • @josie3722

    The Violife epic mature cheddar is available in Canada through vegansupply.ca!! They have a bunch of the Violife products. Also, Rao’s pasta sauce is available on well.ca and naturamarket.ca!! Naturamarket.ca has their pastas too and they are delish!

No reason to make your own with this around-and that’s saying a lot from a big Italian family that would never be caught dead eat jarred sauce! 🍝
