I think I am going to go shopping this weekend and where I have to go to get soy products ia about 40 min away. So I was wondering if anyone could tell me there favorite brands of soy products. I want to get some Cheese, Sourcream, Icecream, Butter ect ect.
I am trying to restock my kitchen so anthing else you can think would be helpfull. I am ordering heather's books next week (have to wait for pay day) but Inam hungry and feeling better so I want to try eating some more things Thanks

Be careful with soy. I will warn you right now that if your body isn't used to it, going full-bore into using soy products might trigger an attack. Go slowly!
Also, READ LABELS. Not all soy products are safe by virtue of being soy. Some soy substitutes are VERY high in fat, like the margarine and sour cream. Others, like the cheeses, still contain dairy derivatives for texture - something that bothers some people, but not others.
The only soy product I'm using right now is margarine. I like Willow Run - it's buttery tasting, and it's the cheapest brand at my HFS.

Heather- if your coming to Ann Arbor.. I am ok with a soy cheese we found at arbor farms- I can look at the name when I go down, its mozzarella flavored and not bad.. as well as some soy parmesan from there.. but I'm ok with soy in general. I prefer fat free soy milk by westsoy, but I get that at meijers actually... or rice milk.. I tried the soy garden spread once but got set off that night, not sure if its that or something else though... its kinda high fat, so may skip it for the most part except very small amounts... if you want-0 email me and I can try to meet you there depending on when (I am carless tomorrow most of the day as Bill's jeep is in the shop for a tune up after last night- it was closest to the fire and drove wierd today.)

I live in California so I'm not positive if they carry all the same items but Trader Joes is my main grocery store. The soy products I get there are: Soystation shredded cheese (great for pizza),Soy Milk, Toffuti Better than Cream cheese (still high in fat so only use a very small amt.), and Soy Delicious Ice Cream.
I shop there all the time here is a comprehensive list of food I know to be safe for me:
Sourdough sliced bread Fresh Baguette Plain Bagels Luna Bars Pretzels Almond Meal Almond Butter Peanut Butter Cherry Jam Applesauce (unsweetened) Hot & Sweet Mustard (like honey mustard) No Pudge Brownie Mix Bruschetta Flour Organic Sugar Organic Maple Syrup Jasmine White Rice Pastas Reduced Fat Mayonaise Canola Oil Spray Canola Oil and Spray Olive oil Spices
Cold Stuff - not frozen Pizza Dough Pizza Sauce Turkey Breast Cutlets Soy Milk Earth Balance Margerine Eggs Soy Yogurt (but they don't have vanilla which you need for the No Pudge Brownies) SoyStation shredded cheese Tufutti Better than Cream cheese Soy Cheddar Soy Mozarella
Frozen Stuff Southwest Turkey Burgers Shrimp Soy Delicious "Ice Cream" Tufutti Cuties Green Beans (frozen ones are really thin and good) Frozen strawberries, blueberries, pineapple for smoothies Boneless skinless chicken breasts
Plus I get a lot of vegies like zucchini there too.
Hope that helps, Leigh

I work so if its after 5:30, sure.. otherwise.. my big suggestion is to do those 2, then head west on state until you get to the shopping center just past the post office on your left... turn in there.. thats arbor farms.. if there is anything you didn't find elsewhere, and Meijers and Kroger doesn't carry, they will.. also if your Kroger doesn't, still further on the same road is Westgate shopping center and the krogers there has a ton of stuff, as does the Meijers out here at Jackson and Zeeb...

I buy either Vitasoy or WestSoy, soy mile they are delicious! I also get Tufutti Better Than Cream Cheese, it's not as good as cream cheese, it's tollerable though. I forgot the name of the Soy butter I get, but they do have non dairy soy butter spreads. This is actaully very good! I buy Rice Dream ice cream, or Rainbow Soy or Soy Dream ice cream, they are so delicious, they taste almost exactly like ice cream!!! Yumm! Plus, it contains less fat, how great is that?! I haven't bought the sour cream yet or sour cream, but I do know that they have tofutti or soy cream cheese and sour cream, I hear they are very good as well.

Tofutti sour cream is the best replacement I've found.
