  9. I’m glad you feature these dishes as well. My daughter taught me all about how diverse and tasty a vegetarian diet can be. She even got this carnivore to do a “Vegetarian Summer” several years back, and lemme tell you, it was gooooood.

    Vegan is another story for me, as I haven’t as much experience with it. Even so, I really enjoy vegan dishes as well. All it takes is some creativity . . . and a dream, 😉
