Whoa.  I wish this were my supermarket….It’s like a smorgasbord of tofu/vegan meat displayed so neat and pretty.

My sweetie was in the mood for fettuccine alfredo tonight, so I figured it was a great opportunity to try out the vegan recipe for this dish in the HH (Happy Herbivore) cookbook!  I had most of the ingredients, but needed a couple spices and some silken tofu (for the sauce) so off to the store I went.  

I was disappointed to find that Target, where I typically do all of my grocery shopping, only carries a very limited supply of tofu (none of which was silken).  I was beginning to think I was going to have to drive 20 minutes away to Earth Fare for this ingredient.  Then… While picking up the fettuccine noodles in the pasta isle, I overheard a girl telling her family (I assume) about a balanced meal she makes using brown rice protein flour.  Thinking this sounded like a rather vegan dish, I approached her and asked if she knew where I could find some silken tofu in the area.  It turns out she was a vegetarian, and suggested I tried the Harris Teeter around the corner.  

I was very pleasantly surprised to find that my local Harris Teeter not only carried silken tofu, but they were also very well stocked with many vegan dairy alternatives such as vegan cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, etc.  Jackpot!!!
