i will say if people want ot be complicated let them lol

I've usually noticed the opposite actually. A lot of newbies are plantbased lifestyles in general, tend to focus on re-creating recipes they already like or buying store bought pre-made items and such, whilst people who have been going at it for a few years tend to try out new recipes and play around a bit more with ''complicated'' meals where they make everything at home. Instead of focusing on recreating that ham sandwich they always loved, they start experimenting with just any vegan sandwiches and find a delicious spread. I ended up with the best sandwich I ever had because of this, and still eat it daily for 6 months :)! I think both are fine, but to me the ''complicated'' part isn't that complicated, as usually it ends up being a meal that meat can't replicate and also opens you up to new ingredients you might've never enjoyed before/ Personally I've always been a picky eater, and I went from pescetarian to vegan around 6-8 months ago, and for the first time in my entire life I started actually enjoying meals with a lot of different mixes of ingredients in them! They are more complicated to make, but SO worth it. Also found out my love for lentils, edamame beans, tofu, bok choy, spinach and brocolli :D But ofcourse sometimes you just want something simple, my store has the most delicious vegan cheese slices for a simple sandwich, and a delicious peri peri hamburger + another mushroom burger thats also insanely good! Hopefully I can create my own perfect mushroom burger someday, but for now that will is a staple haha!

Me too! This is my 8th day being fully vegan due to health reasons too.

Yes. I'm also in the south and love hot boiled peanuts. Perfect road tripping snack

I. LOVE. CAJUN. BOILED. PEANUTS!! I introduced my coworker/friend to them and it became our morning tradition. We would clock in then walk to the local supplier a few times per week, lol. Unfortunately, her son has a peanut allergy and when she picked him up from the airport at the end of one Summer, she kissed him on the cheek and he had a bad reaction 😱.

YUM! We will try that thank you :)

Thank you for being here, we hope you enjoy!!

Thank you! It’s probably not well known, but a majority of vegan cheese brands are made by the same manufacturer with similar ingredients and are white labeled (field roast, follow your heart, violife). It’s accurate to say that any vegan block-style cheese will work for these recipes. Most vegan cheese we’ve come across, at least recently, melts and acts the same way.

@@Sweetsimplevegan Interesting - I didn't know that.

Also Chris did share the brand- it's daiya 😊

@@hannahkt23 Haha, oops!

So excited to be back! We have used miyokos mozz, as well as daiya havarti and mozz, all have worked well! :)

We used impossible!

YUM!! What a great idea

hahah

You’ll be wasted 😂😂😂

Hi! When I run out of cashews, I've used other nuts and seeds and it's usually fine. Maybe sunflower seeds here? You could even use white beans.

@@allicello good to know thank you so much!!

Thank you 🙏🏼 we appreciate you

Most groceries stores should have it!

@@Sweetsimplevegan I only see the sliced ones. I guess I can just stick those together and try and make them work. Thanks for responding!!!

They only sell it at one store near us, but it does still exist!

No it cooked through! we actually tested it both ways (precooked and raw) and we found that the precooking wasn't necessary. I think since the vegan meat cooks so fast in general it wasn't an issue

i did it with 1lb impossible meat and it came out great. no need to cook it before deep frying. they are delicious btw! except i’m never sure how much salt to add, but i think i got lucky! they’re very filling too
