Full disclosure: I’ve been a vegetarian since I was five years old and declared to my poor mother (who from that moment on had to cook two separate dinners every night) that I loved animals "too much to eat them". And, while I never press my beliefs on others (my husband is a hunter, and my baby girl loves wild game), the following brand-new whole food and veg offerings make No Meat Mondays look tastier than ever. —Noa Nichol
yumibox. This Canadian company has a simple mission: to make eating healthy easy, even for those without the time to do it. Each YUMiBOX kit includes pre-portioned, pre-seasoned and ready-to-cook whole-grain and all plant-based mixes, delivered right to your doorstep. The only thing left to do is add water, and whichever nuts, seeds, veggies (or even protein) you’d like and voila! A healthy, natural and organic breakfast, lunch or dinner is served! (Psst: As of November 1, a very seasonally apporopriate chocolate pumpkin spice oatmeal will be available.) yumibox.com
wholly veggie. A second Canadian company has a similar goal to make it easier and less intimidating for Canadians to add more veggies to their diet. Wholly Veggie’s MO is to create delicious patties that are unapologetically veggie and, importantly, don’t try to look or taste like meat. Best of all, the firm provides a range of tasty recipes to try using their products (the Super Duper Green Burger using WV’s Herby Garlic Patties was a hit at supper last night!). whollyveggie.com
edgy veg. YouTube star Candice Hutchings is soon (mid-October) launching her new cookbook, The Edgy Veg, which includes 138 "carnivore-approved" vegan recipes. We’re looking forward to making )and tasting) Candice’s meatless take on favourite comfort foods like Half-Baked Mac and Cheese, Famous Edgy Veg Fried Chicken and Buffalo Cauliflower Wings (especially the last one, after last year falling in love with a West Hollywood restaurant-made cauliflower steak http://www.vitadaily.ca/lifestyle/find-out-why-we-heart-west-hollywood-1.2059901). theedgyveg.com
