It can be difficult to be a vegan at all of those summer-time gatherings. The grills are going, but what are you going to eat? Isn’t that the question that everyone asks. “Oh, I’m grilling steaks, but what are you going to eat?” I have a surefire recipe for you to try, that all your meat-eating friends will be drooling over. It always seems that when I take things to family gatherings I end up with no leftovers, but there is always plenty of meat dishes left. Hmmmm, I guess they do like the vegan stuff after all.
