Cruelty-Free & Natural Personal Care and Oral Hygiene Products
Although there are a lot of brands and products included in this post, I want to ensure you all that this post is not sponsored, and all of the opinions shared are my own.
It has taken me quite a while to round up these products, I am constantly coming across new vegan, natural, minimal ingredient brands to try out, and more often than not I am finding myself loving each one!
I decided that I would list the ingredients on this post as well. I know that it may get a bit wordy, but it is always convenient to have all of the information archived into one in order for you to assess them alongside one another :) *Truly Organic ingredients will be up soon!

We have gotten through the appetizers and entrees of my 2015 
Dare I say this is the BEST vegan creamed corn? I have reason to make such a statement, I couldn't believe how good this turned out.
There are a TON of vegan creamed corn recipes online that use coconut milk, and that always threw me off. What I wanted out of this creamed corn recipe was a replication of the one my mother used to make, that was unfortunately ladened with animal products {milk, heavy cream and butter}. What I have been trying to do over the last few years is veganize as many of my mothers traditional recipes that I can, and creamed corn has been a big challenge for me. I assumed that the coconut would compromise the flavor, so I never gave it a shot. I also I didn't know if it would live up to the same appeal of the other to my family. After being unsatisfied with other non-dairy milk alternatives (I have tried soy and almond), it was my last shot, and I hoped for the best.
What's Thanksgiving dinner without a hearty serving of stuffing?
Growing up, I used to LOVE my mom's stuffing, I thought she was the most talented chef in the kitchen based on this one dish, as she would deliver every year, and the flavor would always be spot on. Once I grew up, my mom shared her secret recipe with me when I aided her in Thanksgiving prep....Stove Top Stuffing...uhhh, I'll pass!
Once going vegan, and shifting away from processed, prepackaged foods, I needed to find myself a replacement for this family 'tradition' we used to share. I also wanted to challenge myself and try for a gluten-free recipe as well.
