I admire anyone with the discipline to be vegetarian or vegan. Based on our society, it's not easy to do unless you cook all your own meals. I don't have that discipline. These two things alone would make me fail!

. Our bodies already manufacture all the cholesterol we need, so it is not necessary to consume more. Excessive consumption of cholesterol has been shown to increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Cholesterol is only found in animal food products, and thus, vegans are likely to have lower cholesterol than non-vegans.

LOL, I totally agree with you. No arguments here. I just like the taste too much to give them up.

It's not you!! The Food Industry has developed in us the desire for fat, salt, and sugar. We are a society totally manipulated by the food industry. It's rigged to make it almost impossible to lighten up on any of these three- Want low fat, no problem, they raise the sugar and salt!. low salt, raise sugar! They have food engineers testing, for example the amount of crunch a chip should have, the sensation of the first bite/ piece etc. We think we have freedom of choice in what we eat-not.
Another example- what do Berger K Mc D and Golden Corral all have in common?? before you even enter the store??, no not parking lot -lol, their signs have yellow and orange/red. Why you ask, well maybe you didn't ask, but I'll tell you, through testing and research this combination of colors stimulates our taste buds. Next time in the Supermarket- take a gander how many products are so packaged. Being retired (or retarded depending on who you ask) I've done a heap of reading on this subject, I know dodo about cars, but nutrition and woodworking I shine. M.Ds take -one- count them- uno- courses in nutrition
It's scary, could direct you to studies and documented reports about this! My first suggestion if you are interested, grap some non-salted popcorn (and of course not buttered) and netflix- "Forks over Knives" was my wake-up call
BTW milk ain't the perfect food and neither is sugar, corn (The most highly subsidized crops in the country!!)

Thanks! I'll look for that. I just really like chimichurri and the idea of a vegetarian version is intriguing.

That sounds interesting. Can you share the recipe?

Marinade:
1/4 cup roughly chopped shallot
2 cloves garlic
1 cup loose packed fresh cilantro
1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley
2 tablespoons soy sauce *
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable broth

Tofu:
1 block (about 14Oz)
Chop the shallot and garlic in a food processor.Add the remaining ingredients and puree until smooth
Cut the tofu lengthwise into 8 equal pieces. If you like, slice those pieces corner to corner to form triangles. marinate for at least an hour, flipping after 30 minutes **
Preheat a large skillet over medium -high heat,.Spray the pan with a bit of nonstick cooking spray. Add the tofu pieces cook for about 10 minutes, flipping often, adding the marinade as you go. Add the remaining marinade and turn up the heat to high. Let the liquid boil and cook down for 5 minutes- Serve
These notes are mine-
* I suggest in place of soy sauce (very high in salt-even low salt too high, go with "Bragg Liquid Aminos" (ingredients- vegetable protein from soybeans and purified water)
** I do all my marinades in large plastic sealed bags- easy no mess, and "churning" the bag assures even distribution.
Best of luck

I just got done (couple hours ago) dining on a hickory-smoked Rib Eye (private stash Black Angus), a Yukon Gold baked potato w/sour cream and 'real' butter [also foil-wrapped on the grill], and steamed fresh green beans [with 'real' butter]. I'm sure I would make a fool out of myself if I tried to pronounce what you ate correctly.

Never cared much for smoked steaks. But I do LOVE a grilled Rib Eye cooked to medium. You have to stop talking about Rib Eyes right now! You're just about to cost me $20.00 for a monster Rib Eye to grill as soon as possible!

Thank you! I'll definitely try that soon.

Sorry RU. I'd rather eat that steak, and take a pill for the cholesterol. Sad to say, but there is NO WAY I could turn that down!
