Body Bar Soap

I've been on the hunt for a really good vegan soap for a while now.  I'm very picky.  I want it to smell great, last long and be of good value with great ingredients.  I also want it to be made in Canada and be 100% cruelty-free (meaning no animal ingredients (which most soaps are) and no animal testing).  I think I hit the jackpot today.  I purchased NBW's (Nature's Body Works) Gentle Natural Glycerine Soap in "Desire" from our local holistic market.  NBW is a small Canadian company based out of Guelph, Ontario that make vegan spa products.  If all goes well in my experience with their soap, I am going to branch out and try their lip balms and sun protection.

Update:  These soaps are the best!  I've tried several of their other soap varieties and was very pleased.  This is a keeper.

Tofurky Sausage Rolls

These are easy, peasy.  My mom would make these for me as a kid, but with animal weiners.  These little rolls are yummy, quick, and cruelty-free.

INGREDIENTS

- 1 can (8 oz each) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 1 package Tofurky Breakfast Links

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Unroll the can of dough; separate into 8 triangles.  Cut open package of Tofurky Breakfast Links.  Take four of the five links and cut in half lengthwise.  Place a half link on the shortest side of each triangle.  Roll up each, starting at shortest side of triangle and rolling to opposite point.  Place point side down on an ungreased cookie sheet.  Repeat until you have 8 rolls.  Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.  Enjoy.
