\"Eden's<\/a><\/p>\n

After our visit to Clever Rabbit on our Roadtrip Adventure – we decided to check out a little market that was happening down the street\u00a0called Eden’s Market. There were a variety of vendors, but we made a B-line to Blue Rose Baking Co<\/a>, because I’ve followed the owner, Sarah Louise and her blog The Cozy Vegan<\/a> on The Twitters since before she moved to Edmonton from Calgary.<\/p>\n

We bought a four pack of cupcakes to share with my parents later in the evening (p.s. they were a big hit.)<\/p>\n

\"cupcakes<\/a><\/p>\n

Sadly, since our visit Eden’s Market has closed permanently<\/a> due to lack of traffic, which is too bad, because I liked that they were also supporting the Youth Emergency Shelter Society<\/a>\u00a0with their market.<\/p>\n

On a more recent visit to Edmonton I had the wherewithal to pre-order a Vegan Snack Attack<\/a> box from\u00a0The Mercury Room\u00a0<\/a>and Blue Rose Baking Co<\/a>. And I highly recommend you do so too. My visit coincided with the 100% Gluten-Free box, so I was a bit hesitant, but it turned out alright and delicious\u00a0in the end.<\/p>\n

These two talented local vegan bakers and makers have teamed up to create\u00a0Edmonton\u2019s very own vegan snack attack box – every box features handcrafted treats both savoury and sweet,\u00a0with\u00a0something for everyone in the box – which is true, I ordered a Valentine’s Day special delivery box for my parents earlier this year – and they seemed to really enjoy it too.<\/p>\n

For myself though – I ordered the Notorious B.I.G box, which offers a bunch more snacks than the 2pac, because since I was only going to get one go at this Vegan Snack Attack box, I was going to do it right.<\/p>\n

So what was in it?<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/a><\/p>\n

Well – there was a thick and savoury Caramelized Leek and Balsamic Hummus. And it was like a gourmet party in my mouth, also possibly the most fancy flavoured hummus I’ve ever had then and since. Really though, I could have happily eaten it with a spoon everyday forever. But sadly and expectedly, it disappeared quickly.<\/p>\n

\"Caramelized<\/a><\/p>\n

The mirepoix chips were chips made from a variety of dehydrated veggies, and were quite fragile. Or rather, they were just too fragile to dip into the thick delicious hummus. I’ll admit ambivalence to these chips – but only because I wanted desperately to scoop hummus with them, without much success. Otherwise, they were tasty.<\/p>\n

\"Mirepoix<\/a><\/p>\n

There were a bunch of other things in my Vegan Snack Attack box. The gluten-free double chocolate cookies were actually pretty great, much to my delight. I made myself and my mom ice cream sandwiches (from the enclosed coconut ice cream).<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/a><\/p>\n

Which continues to live in my fridge. To this day. But it’s still good. Real good. Next time, I’m going to pour some in a batch of cookies for instant London Fog Cookie time.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not sure if the YEG Vegan Snack Attack Box<\/a> is still going on, but if it is, you can find out more about it at Blue Rose Vegan’s site over here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Blue Rose Vegan Baking Co.
\n<\/strong>where can you find them<\/a>: at a variety of markets and cafes in Edmonton (like the 124st Grand Market,<\/a> and Remedy<\/a>)
