HOW TO SAUTÉ VEGGIES (BEGINNER’S GUIDE)

I recognize that some people are new to veganism, and new to cooking. So I’m going to give a very simple guide on how to sauté food. I’ll make it SHORT and SIMPLE.

First step is to just chop up some veggies you like. My go-tos are mushrooms, peppers (red or green), broccoli, and onions. I also have spinach, but that doesn’t require cutting. Here’s an image of how I personally proportion it.

That looks like a lot of spinach, but that stuff wilts like CRAZY. Mushrooms also shrink a bit, the onions and peppers remain about the same size.

Next you wanna add just a little bit of vegetable oil to a non-stick pan or skillet (I personally prefer a cast-iron skillet) and put the stove in high heat.

Next start throwing stuff in. Add the spinach last. 

I first add the mushrooms and onions, and mix those around a bit, then I add the broccoli and peppers.

Mix those around for about 10 minutes, then add the spinach.

If the skillet doesn’t have room to add all the spinach, gradually add it, cover the skillet if need be, wait until it wilts, add more. Repeat.

Cook for a couple more minutes until the spinach is all wilted. Then turn it off, season with garlic salt and pepper. If you don’t have garlic salt, use garlic powder and salt. Or don’t. Use whatever you’re comfortable with. I’m not a chef, not a cop.

Here was my final product:

100% vegetarian. 100% vegan. Nothing but veggies.

Learn to appreciate vegetables, because they are SO GOOD if you cook ‘em right.

MILK SUBSTITUTE FOR VEGANS WITH LOW VITAMIN B-12

(It’s Coconut Silk if the image didn’t load for you)

Veganism can be a perfectly healthy diet if you make sure you get good amounts of vitamins and minerals.

Many vegans are lacking in Vitamin B-12 due to the fact that B-12 often times has to come from meat, dairy, eggs, or fortified foods. Vegans unaware of this deficiency can get  pernicious anemia.

Coconut Silk can be used as a milk substitute while baking. I honestly like how it tastes more than regular milk as well, and this is coming from a non-vegan. I added a little bit to my coffee before I drank it black. It is far healthier than regular milk as well.

Este blog tendrá traducciones para recetas SOLAMENTE. Mi español no es bueno y las rectas son más fáciles para tranducir que mi otra publicaciones. Lo siento y tengas un buen día.

[hellbentvegetarian-blog]

This is an alternate blog for my Spanish speakers out there. I’m not the best Spanish speaker, but I’m trying my best while only knowing classroom Spanish. I AM working on my Spanish (as well as attempting Polish) because it is valuable for my particular career. (If you care, I also dabble in ASL)

Translation:

This blog will ONLY have translations for recipes. My Spanish isn’t good and the recipes are more easy to translate than my other posts. I am sorry, and have a nice day.

COMMON QUESTIONS I GET AS A VEGETARIAN & MY ANSWERS

Q: When did you become vegetarian/how long have you been vegetarian?

A: I started at a very young age, when I was 6. So 10 years now.

Q: Is anyone else in your family vegetarian?

A: Nope. No one in my direct, extended, or even step family.

Q: Are you an activist?

A: In a vegetarian way, not really. I believe the meat industry is very cruel, and I personally do not wish to support it, but I don’t preach it to others unless they want to hear what I have to say. However if you just mean in general I am a strong LGBT rights activist.

Q: Do you ever miss meat?

A: Absolutely not.

Q: Would you ever go off your vegetarian diet?

A: If it was for a medical reason and I had to, yes. Otherwise no.

Q: Why aren’t you a vegan?

A: I simply don’t have a problem eating animal products, because it doesn’t kill an animal. However, I also have a medical reason for not being a vegan. My body doesn’t absorb a lot of minerals very well and I am anemic. So even on both iron and B-12 supplements, I have to absorb them through food as well sometimes. Iron is easy, because that’s in veggies. B-12 is harder, because it’s mainly in meat but also exists in eggs and dairy, which I consume on the regular. I have tried going vegan once and it proved to be very bad for my health.

Q: Have you ever tried meat? Maybe you’ll like it.

A: I haven’t tried all meat, but I’ve tried enough to know that I do not like the taste. Even if I had no moral obligation, I still hate the taste of meat.

Q: Why are you a vegetarian?

A: Morally I am against eating animals. I don’t like the idea of eating something that was once alive. I also hate how meat tastes. It also legitimately makes me sick. Even if I don’t know it’s in my food and I eat it anyways. So I have a number of reasons.

Q: How do you feel about vegans?

A: They’re chill. If you mean preachy vegans, I get very annoyed with them very quickly. I have nothing against you, as long as you don’t try to force others to conform to your views and use guilt tactics.

Q: Is it okay if I eat meat around you?

A: Yeah. I’m not offended by people eating meat around me, I genuinely do not care.

Q: Ever been to a vegan restaurant?

A: No, actually. Though I do plan to.

Q: Since you’re anemic doesn’t that mean you should eat meat again?

A: My anemia is a genetic condition, and will not go away if I eat meat. My condition actually improved after I went vegetarian because I started eating a lot more vegetables than before. Vegetarianism does not cause anemia. Anemia can occur in anyone.

Q: WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR PROTEIN??

A:  I am genuinely concerned have you ever eaten a god damn vegetable. In all seriousness; edamame, tofu (on occasion), dairy, eggs, leafy greens, stuff like that. If you count the extra protein I eat after I lift, protein bars are a nice little snack (I was thinking about eating and reviewing different vegan protein bars but we will see)

Q: Hasn’t being a vegetarian slowed down your weightlifting progress?

A: The only thing that has EVER slowed my progress would be my spine surgery. So nope.

Q: Can meat-eaters still enjoy vegetarian/vegan recipes?

A: Short answer; Yes. Long answer; If they weren’t called vegetarian/vegan recipes, meat eaters would be a lot less hesitant to try them. 

Q: How is Thanksgiving?

A: My family is carnivorous. It usually sucks.

THE TYPE OF STUFF I WILL BE POSTING

Okay, so you have theoretically seen this new vegetarian/vegan blog and are like “huh, wonder what this is all about” WELL LEMME JUST TELL YOU NOW.

I am a STRICT vegetarian of 10 years, I am also a WEIGHTLIFTER. However, I have iron-deficiency anemia (my body doesn’t absorb iron well, so even on supplements it is difficult to control), I have a left leg that doesn’t work well, and I’ve got some METAL in my spine.

I am here to help out some vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free folk with other unrelated dietary restrictions and deficiencies. I know it can be weird and difficult to find advice that caters to you. I am also very passionate about cooking and exchanging recipes for fellow veggies. I also hope to provide fitness advice, though it isn’t a priority. Hopefully, with a bit of guidance, I can provide specific advice to trans individuals as well. But no matter what, everything on this blog WILL be VEGETARIAN.

I’ll make a future post with a little more information about myself personally, and hopefully I’ll be able to really get into things soon!

BLACK COFFEE AND WHY IT’S GREAT

HEALTH BENEFITS

Drastically improves your workout performance

Toxins in your body are flushed out much easier without the added sugars

Boost metabolism by 50%

Contains vitamin B2, B3, B5, Manganese, potassium and magnesium.

Improves heart health

HOW TO HANDLE THE GROSS TASTE OF IT

Black coffee is gross, I get it. I personally HATE all coffee but I deal with it for the benefits.

To make it taste better, slowly ease your way into acquiring the taste. Add some ALMOND MILK. Or if you’re ALLERGIC to almonds, use SKIM MILK. You can also likely use SOY MILK as well. It’s key to use the healthiest type of milk that you can and as little as you can, so that it doesn't outweigh the metabolism benefits.

Trust me, a little bit of milk makes a HUGE difference in flavor.

MOVING TO PURE BLACK COFFEE

As you get used to the flavor, just slowly decrease the amount you add until you’re drinking your coffee PURE and BLACK.

Decrease the milk it in intervals that YOU are comfortable with. Everyone is DIFFERENT.

ANOTHER NOTE

Only drink a cup a day to see the benefits, that’s all ya need.

Also if you ARE gluten free, remember to be careful. Coffee grounds AND milk are GENERALLY gluten free but it never hurts to check.

I would HIGHLY recommend making your own coffee. It’s easy and less expensive than buying it, plus YOU will know EXACTLY what is in it, which is very comforting.
