Recipe Recommendations from Jeff at the Brandon Library


          The Economist and Forbes (which we have through Magnolia here) have declared 2019 “The Year of the Vegan” and the revolution has already reached Brandon. Many of your favorite fast food restaurants, including McDonald’s, Chick-Fil-A, Burger King, and Subway, are offering meatless versions of your favorite meals and supermarkets are stocking meatless burger patties and steaks.
         Although it’s estimated a quarter of Americans aged 25- to 34-years-old declare themselves vegetarians or vegans, people of all ages benefit from meatless living. Take it from someone who’s been a vegetarian for forty-one years, it’s not hard to switch to a vegetarian/vegan diet. The Central Mississippi Regional Library System has a lot of excellent vegetarian/vegan cookbooks to make it an easy transition; stop into the nearest branch for help.
           So, with fewer than six weeks left until 2020, are you ready to join the revolution? To help you get started I’ve attached links to two great recipes I can recommend for vegan chili (here) and vegetarian jalapeno cheddar cornbread (here) to help you through the long, cold winter nights.
