Selection's BBQ Soy Chips

I've said it before, STORE BRANDS FTW

These aren't just the tastiest BBQ 'chips'... But because they're made with soy and rice: 19 chips = 7 g of protein.
If you are in Canada: Selection is the brand carried by Metro & Food Basics, party time.

Eatrageous' Wasabi Ranch Chips

Dearest Food Companies,
If you make RANCH anything vegan-friendly, we will buy it and try it at least once. I personally guarantee it.

These "scoop shaped" chips are reminiscent of raw penne pasta. Just sayin.

Rachael's Chili & Green Rice

Another chili recipe. Because beer and smoky peppers. And toppings for days (lime juice! raw onion! scallions! chips!)
But I think the cleverest element of this dish is that rice. The spinach cilantro blend adds flavor deliciousness, green healthiness PLUS heft and bulk - without the carbs.

I can't thank Rachael Ray and her team enough. They sincerely makes some of the most inventive recipes in food television. And thank you to Cooking Channel & Scripps for bringing it to us!

p.s. Ina Garten's Guacamole on top - can you imagine?

Ina's Easy Appetizers

How does Ina Garten entertain her guests? She kicks meaty-cheese gangly bits to the curb and serves up a healthy dose of vegan snacks.
They're easy, light and pair perfectly with drinks! Have you ever loved her more?
Protein. Carbs. Greens. She is pretty perfect. Thanks to Scripps, Food Network and the Culinary Goddess that is Ina Garten for this brilliant "Back to Basics, Ask Ina" segment for the holidays.

Debi's Guacamole + Gabriele's Beets

Hold the phone. Don't salt your beet chips until after they come out of the oven? Otherwise they'll get soggy!? This changes everything about everything. And Gabriele Corcos says he's not a chef.
But 1 Question: what does he say at 0:35?!
Thank you to Zero Point Zero Productions for the food tv gorgeousness that is Extra Virgin.

Nigella's Chowder

Nigella is the best because she makes creamy soups without cream and - bonus - specifically vegetable stock. Also: frozen corn. Marry us.

Sweet Chili Heat Doritos

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Accidentally vegan Doritos. We're in. Case closed.
Bonus: Tostitos Salsa.

Giada's Curried Dip & Chips

Serious question: has anyone ever really successfully made pita chips at home? Giada's got specific instructions that should help. 

This dip is beautifully simple and versatile. Use any bean, herb or spice. Go for it. Speaking of spice, does it stress anyone else out when she puts the curry-covered teaspoon into the cumin? Giada, do what you want, you're lovely. 

Thanks to the Food Network & Scripps for bringing us her kitchen deliciousness!

Give me a chip aisle and I could spend a good hour reading ingredients lookin for accidentally vegan goods.
President's Choice Ballpark Hot Dog chips: A lotta dill flavor, with a bit of BBQ... Amazingly, a couple minutes after eating them your mouth feels EXACTLY like you just ate a hot dog with the works. Magic.
