Between work and homework by the time dinner arrived i was spent and had no time to actually cook something involving more than one pan. So I dug through the refrigerator and found some Light Life Chick'n Strips and decided to give them a go.<br /><br />Up until this point I had only tried the morning star chick'n strips, and so did not have high hopes of an incredible product. But I was surprised. When I opened the package and poured them into the hot pan I was surprised by their appearance. Surprisingly chickeny. They weren't widely cut spicy fake meat pieces but strips that held together and didn't flop around like the M.Farms kind. They were almost creepy realistic - this is a good thing. They fried up nicely browning on the outside and then I tasted one with out any sauce and the flavor was present but not peppery at all. I think i could pass these off to my omni father and he wouldn't know the difference. Definitely a four star product.<br /><br />I added some buffalo sauce to the strips and then laid them on some lettuce and tomato in a vegan wrap. I topped them with some home made ranch dressing and it was a really great meal.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Black Creek Ranch Dressing</span><br /><br />1 1/4 cups vegan mayo<br />1/4 tsp garlic powder<br />1/4 tsp onion powder<br />1/4 tsp sea salt<br />1/2 tsp black pepper<br />2 tsp finely chopped parsley (can sub dried for fresh)<br />3/4 cup soy milk<br /><br />I put all ingredients in a mini food processor and just blended for a few seconds. Though I suppose a whisk and a bowl would work too.JessieGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12632905690707338706noreply@blogger.com
