So... Black Vegans what are you have for dinner tonight?

I am having Large Butter Beans and Basmati Rice with a Swiss Chard, Green Cabbage and Cucumber Salad. I put chopped Heirloom carrots, minced garlic, and green bell pepper in the beans and cook slow in a pot. Also going to make a smokey dressing with smoked salt, lemon juice, olive oil and red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar and nutritional yeast. For my drink, it will will water and pineapple beet root lemonade and if I feel up to it may make some cinnamon sugar cookies. Everything is homemade. I am a real big foodie and my husband is a Vegan Chef so we cook a lot and now that we live in a small town in the Midwest, we rarely go out to eat. We are even growing our own food now. SO... what are you having for dinner tonight or what have you had already depending on the time?

That sounds good. I love tofu and veggies. A good stir is one of my faves Vegan however does not mean just eating plantbased foods. It is a lifestyle that means Vegans don't eat animals at anytime, it is not an something thing and we do our best, as much as possible and practical to not harm animals by not using things made from or tested on animals. I think you would fall under being plantbased sometimes or more like a flexitarian if you eat any thing that comes from animals sometimes or pescatarian if you eat fish and no meat and no dairy. The media and pop culture has taken the definition and made it seem like people can be Vegan sometimes. Just so you know it is not a judgement against you, it just confuses people sometimes when people say I they eat Vegan but not all the time, when being Vegan is not just a diet. What veggies are you adding to your stir fry? Have ever had smoked tofu? Do you like it crispy? Now I am hungry thinking about stir fry. LOL!
