“So, what do you eat?!”  That’s a common question people who go vegetarian or vegan are hit with on almost a daily basis. Switching to a meatless lifestyle isn’t just about giving up meat and eating only “lettuce and air”. You can still eat the foods you love – you just have to get creative with it! Almost anything can be remixed into a healthier, plant-based version that tastes as good (if not BETTER) than the original when you have the right recipes, spices and imagination. Satisfy your craving for the taste and texture of meat with these vegetable alternatives.
