It was just a few months ago when I joined this community. I was in doubt because I was not a Vegan, nor did I know what being a vegan means. I was just V-curious! I have received enormous benefits by being here, apart from the monetary ones. I believe that as human beings, it is our responsibility to watch what we eat. After all, what goes in our mouth and what goes into our brain is what we become.

I was a meat-lover few years ago and it was one fine day when I gave it up. It was the day I chose a clear conscious, an environment friendly way of living and a more economical lifestyle! This is what I got, though the reason why I gave up meat was different.

I always missed my favorite smoked chicken sandwiches and other favorite non-vegetarian dishes but stayed with my commitment because I felt it was important.

During my journey here, I got a chance to interact with people from all around the world. We all are wonderful loving people who either are or want to make a difference to our lives as well as the lives of others. What a great place to be! I have learned new recipes, opened myself up to new knowledge and different perspectives, and of course made new friends!

Today, I just tried the soy bean patties recipe by Kristo that I saw here. I made a few additions and subtractions to the recipe but the result was awesome. I was in vegan heaven. My okara pattie sandwich tasted just like smoked chicken! (with some additional fiber) I wish I had taken a picture of myself enjoying that sandwich today to share with you all.

A special thanks to Kristo for introducing home-made soy milk, okara and the okara patties to my life. They are all delicious and I am so excited about them. I will never miss my chicken eating days again!
