I just became a vegan after watching Food Inc. and am looking for new ideas on how to change my diet. I just can't go back to eating meat after seeing such cruel and awful treatment. It made me cry. I already eat lots of beans, but I'm looking for other veg-friendly foods as well. I look forward to try some new recipes out! Thank you so much for posting this.

There is however a VERY subtle sweetness and it doesn't have the same bite (Meaning firm texture) as actual beef. We like to put it in cheese sauce and dunk nachos or sprinkle in pasta. It freezes really well too. I'm a fan. I don't buy it all the time because it can be a bit pricey. Also, don't plan on forming it into a patty it doesn't work like that. If you want a veggie burger or even a veggie chicken patty both morning star and boca make these very yummily!

TVP is less expensive by the pound than it is in a pre-measured bag. I've been using TVP for years, and if you aren't vegan, but just trying to stretch you dollars, "Better than bullion" is the best bullion on the market. Very true to flavor, and it makes your TVP taste like, well, the bullion. The possibilities are endless. Oh, and your blog is beautiful. Hope you don't mind if I bookmark and blogroll?

He saw me do it and protested. He had a hamburger for dinner and with his last bite he ate the TVP as well. I questioned him about it and I don't think he even realized he ate it because it looked almost like the hamburger! If D ate it... that's saying a lot :-) I threw some on D’s plate – just the TVP, no beans or rice. He saw me do it and protested.
