This past week, Alternative Outfitters was featured on Supreme Master TV.  They did an interview with co-founder, Jackie Horrick, to find out more about the company and how it got started. Check out the videos below.

I’ve been a vegetarian for about 28 years now and although I don’t cook from scratch all the time, I have tried my share of bouillons, stocks, and broths.  I have never found one as easy to use and as ready-to-eat as the Vegetarian Better Than Bouillon No Chicken Base.

It’s certified vegan and made with seasoned vegetables.  It contains salt so you don’t even need to add any.  You just dissolve the Better Than Bouillon into boiling water and you have an instant stock that’s tasty and ready to eat.  Today I made vegan wonton soup using the Better Than Bouillon No Chicken Base and Vegan Frozen Tofu & Vegetable Bite Size Won Tons. It required no prep time and was so yummy.  I just made stock with the bouillon and threw in the wontons while it was lightly boiling for about 2 minutes.  Once the wontons floated to the top, it was done!

The Better Than Bouillon can be used alone with water or you can add your favorite ingredients for a hearty soup.  It’s also great as a base for quinoa or couscous.  So get some today and make your own savory treats!

It’s time to start shopping for fall and back to school and AlternativeOutfitters.com has you covered.  We just received a huge shipment of new boots from Sugar Shoes. Here is just a sample of some of the new vegan boots we just got in.
