Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian, gluten-free or just go with the flow we've got something for everyone! You can shop your groceries online with us and pick up in-store or have it shipped or even delivered to your house! Or you could always come and visit us in person at our new location 9248 Main Street. 


Shop our curated selection and support one of your local independent grocery store's in Chilliwack. 

Other local independent grocer's we support and recommend:

Pick Eco Refills for everything zero waste! They are located on the opposite side of town as us in Garrison; you can actually order online from us and have it picked up in their location- just leave a note in your order and we'll have that ready for you!

 

We also love getting our fresh produce at Produce Gone Wild; which has two locations to serve most people in Chilliwack. They work closely with local farmers to make sure their customers have the best prices and freshest food possible. 

Marry Me Tofu Recipe

For the Tofu:

For the Marry Me Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup vegan culinary cream (we use Belsoy)
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (reduce or omit if you don't like spice)
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes drained if in oil and chopped
  • 1 handful fresh basil leaves roughly chopped
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan (optional)

Instructions

  • Add the tofu, flour, salt, and pepper to a medium bowl and gently toss to evenly coat the tofu in the flour mixture.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the tofu pieces discarding any extra flour. Fry the tofu for a few minutes per side until golden brown all over. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  • Return the pan to the stove and reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and cook for about 60 seconds until it just starts to brown. Pour in the vegetable broth and use your spoon to scrape any bits off the bottom of the pan while stirring. Add the vegan culinary cream, nutritional yeast, crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, thyme, and salt. Mix well, bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes.
  • Return to the tofu to the pan with the sauce and stir in the sun-dried tomatoes. Heat through and cook a few minutes more.
  • Garnish with the basil and serve hot over pasta, rice, quinoa, mashed potatoes or with crusty bread. (We prefer this over pasta)
