Being the cookie freak that I am, after hearing about Pipernilli cookies on the Our Hen House podcast, I immediately contacted them to see about doing a review for VeganMos. Gayle over at Pipernilli was thrilled to have us do the review and sent us out samples to try. As soon as they arrived, Ethan and I cleared off the kitchen table and got to the busy work of eating cookies. The box contained 7 sample packs, each containing 2 cookies.

Since becoming vegan, I have tried many of the vegan protein powders available. Unfortunately, I found most of them quite lacking in the taste department, some even tasted like dirt. No thanks. Moreover, while I love the Builder’s Bars from Clif bar company, I don’t always want to eat a bar. Please note, not all Builder’s Bars are vegan, be sure to read the list of ingredients when buying them. Last month, when we went to ThanksLiving at Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary we received gift bags as we were leaving. In each bag was a
