Lemme guess: When you tell people you’re vegetarian or vegan, they tell you, “I can’t believe you can’t eat [insert something that an animal was killed for] anymore! I could never be vegan.” The truth is, these days, you can make pretty much everything vegan. Deviled Eggs? Check. Stuffed Crust Pizza? For sure. Lasagna? Duh.
More proof that all those dishes you might have thought you could never eat again can, in fact, be made vegan? The Betty Crocker Project, an endeavor that peta2′s own Dan Shannon and his wife Annie have taken on to veganize every recipe in The Betty Crocker Cookbook. Daunting? Yes. Awesome? Of course!
I was lucky enough to get my obsessed-with-vegan-food hands on a Betty Crocker Project creation recently when Annie and Dan made ribs and corn on the cob. Yup, vegan ribs. I may or may not have eaten just as much as the dudes did. Just sayin’. Check these babies out:
The texture was great, and though the vegan version looks different than the standard flesh on a bone, I like that about them. These little numbers were made with Match Meats, an awesome vegan meat alternative, and three different glazes. The recipe can be found here. If you’re the type of person who likes to get a little messy when eating, then slather these bad boys up with your fave BBQ sauce (and lick the extras off your fingers). YUM!
Check out more of Annie and Dan’s awesome creations here. And tell me: What food were you surprised to find out could be made vegan?

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

I was surprised to see vegan ‘fish’ fingers! I’d only ever seen mock meats and never mock seafood.

Those look scrumptious, though actually they’re not “fake”, just made from plants instead of animal parts. The original definition of “meat” was “anything not drank” or something along those lines. Using the word “fake” just kind of degrades the food, which is exactly what the animal-meat/dairy folks love to see.
Veggie-meat or vegan-meat are much better, and more accurate, descriptions. Thanks !
