The Story Of How Connie and Laurie Got Started

The Vegetarian Express Is Born…at a Superbowl Party?

Creating healthy yet delicious meals for your family is always a challenging experience, especially if you’re following a vegetarian diet. Connie and Laurie talked at a Super Bowl party, they mentioned their concern for people’s health, time pressure and how it would be great to have fast, easy to make, whole grain foods. They put their heads together, and created The Vegetarian Express. Starting in a licensed kitchen, they started to make food packets and mixes that only required a few ingredients to build “nutritional, balanced vegetarian meals”knew it, friends and family were requesting their mixes and seasonings, mostly due to the fact that they contained no unhealthy chemicals, sugar, dairy or hydrogenated fat. “The Vegetarian Express” was born, and they continue to adapt new products to the tastes of their customers.

Connie & Laurie have taken the time to develop the right combination of ingredients to make cooking easy and fun, from seasonings to add to your own recipes, or complete vegetarian entrée mixes. Their blue ribbon products have been Parma Zaan Sprinkles, a tasty parmesan cheese alternative and Saucy Ranch Seasoning,  which makes dips and dressings. A great idea for a hearty meal is their Mediterranean Lentil Soup, that can be cooked in a rice cooker (only add water) and is warm and delicious for dinner. They also carry a rich white gravy mix – easily adaptable into either scalloped potatoes or cream of broccoli soup – and brown gravy mix, which can be used as a base for stews or vegetable stroganoff. The Tuscan Burger Mix is another popular entrée that gets rave reviews from customers, like “easy to make and tasty too”, or “I put these in buns and they were terrific”. People also love our seasonings. Without harmful ingredients, their seasoning wake up vegetarian foods across the USA.
