Eating a plant-based diet.

When I was vegan I was a big fan of Isa Moskowitz's cookbooks. The one that got me started was, "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World!" Great recipes.

I think I had more of her stuff than my other vegan cookbooks combined. Used to make a tofu omelet from her "Vegan Brunch" that was really good.

And I still make her, "Sexy Low-fat Vanilla Cupcakes," on the rare occasion I feel like baking.

I went from veganism to pescatarianism to an omnivore diet and have been back here for more than a decade now. I still have some of Isa's books, though.

There are a few recipes I still enjoy. I tweaked a recipe from, "The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook," for some nice Vegan Mac & Cheese.

They are good, the Sexy Low-fats, but there are chocolate ones that are better. ;)

You must have tons collected recipes at this point. :) Ooo, are you familiar with Boca 'Chik'n' Patties? Their spicy ones are delish. :)

That said, I am wary of how much ”vegan meat” is processed and how many non-whole ingredients are added.

I agree. I use vegan "ground beef" (Beyond or Impossible) to make Italian meatballs and the bratwursts for sausage, peppers and onions. I personally eat about 2 pounds of it per year. If I could find less processed versions that tasted good, I'd buy them in a minute.

Perhaps @VeggieMan could make some recommendations - he's been at this a lot longer than I have.

Try Morningstar Farm products...they make excellent meatballs, too
 
I'll eat just everything about in moderation except sugar. Shark, muskrat, raccoon, opposum, squirrel, buffalo, deer, snake. At 68 my doctors say I'm very healthy with no aches and pains. I also exercise and walk several miles a day.

My Italian grandmother made divine meatballs. I use a close version of her recipe (which means dumping this and that in without measuring) but with Beyond or Impossible ground meat. They bring me back to happy childhood memories. ❤️

I will try Morningstar Farm veggie burgers again - it's been a very long time since I've had them. Thanks for the recommendation.

I even eat moderate amounts of sugar (brown cane sugar mixed with Ceylon cinnamon) in my coffee. Would never drink coffee without milk and sugar.
And I eat chocolate, which also contains sugar.
Life is too short to cut out what I like.

I also consume moderate amounts of sugar everyday for all the same reasons.
