3.5 Stars
My name is Kelly and I'm a cookbook hoarder. That's why when I had the chance to obtain a copy of this for free my eye zeroed in on one word and one word alone . . . .
"SOUL" and failed to see that secondary tagline pointing out the 100 recipes contained inside the book were all going to be vegan. How can I explain how I felt when I saw that??? I KNOW! I'll do something I never do and use gifs : )
Basically, my reaction was pretty much . . . .
Due to a combination of my previous experiences with vegans going something kinda like this . . . .
Along with quite a lot of this . . .
And also because I live in flyover country where we enjoy being morbidly obese and eating an entire cow at every meal.
But then I saw . . . .
Well, in all honesty I actually saw Coconut Corn Chowder, but Sunday dinner is still a thing at my house and I didn't want my family to murder me in my sleep since two of the members are not fans of the nut of the coco. (I'm totally going to make it for myself next at lunch Saturday, though, because it looks delicious and easy which are my only two requirements when it comes to making food.)
So I did cheat a bit and used meat sausage rather than the suggested sausage options because (1) there is NO WAY I'm ever making my own sausage ever and (2) the apple option wasn't really an option for the meat-a-sauruses who live in my house. I also put shrimp in it because . . . . .
The end result????
Pretty pretty pretty good. Plus I got to channel my inner Beyonce the entire time I was in the kitchen so that made everyone in my house pretty excited : )
3.5 Stars because vegan recipes are not super easy. This one was, but most in the book are not. However, the pictures were real purrrrrty.
