I love to bbq. I have a family.
I love vegan food. I like vegan style BBQ. I cook for my friends. I like to make scobby treats. I like the smoky flavor of BBQ. I have been vegan for 10 years. I am vegan because of the treatment and killing of animals. I support animal rights. I have an 18 year old son who is a republican. My son eats meat occasionally. My son like independence. My son is finishing college and going to university. My son will study law.
I thought about our conversation regarding animals, and decided that I wanted to try a plant based alternative to my normal consumption habits  It is not that easy when you first start especially in the past you don't have as much meat alternative.  Now you definitely can get all different stuff just taste like meat. I did some research, and it seems like there are a lot of benefits to being vegetarian or vegan. Besides promoting animal welfare, it's also much more sustainable, and it's healthier. What kinds of vegan recipes do you like to cook for your friends? I need recommendations! I really love cauliflower rice.  You just need to get couple packages of frozen cauliflower and add some walnut, cumin, coriander and if you want, you could add some raisin or cranberries.  It's really good. Yum! I've seen people make carrot bacon. I wonder if that would be good, because it would have a smoky flavor like barbecue. It sounds interesting.  I never heard of carrot bacon.  I could imagine that you slice it in very thin slices then soak it in BBQ flavoring then cook it. I think that's pretty much how it works. I will have to make it and let you know how it is! I love bacon, so I will definitely need to find a good substitute. You can definitely find a lot of interesting and tasting vegan recipe.  I like tofu a lot as well.  You could just steam it or skillet fry it. I'm not sure I could get on board with steamed tofu...haha. Fried sounds much better! I hope going to a plant-based diet will help me lose a few pounds! I think it really depends on how much you eat more than just a vegan diet to lose those pound.  I'm not try to be negative but be realistic.  Of course, vegan diet will help lower the fat and cholesterol which is much more heathier diet than with meat. That's true. I'm sure I wouldn't lose much weight if I just ate pasta for every meal! That is exactly what I mean.  I think counting the calories works really well too.
