#tastetestchallenge! Which 2 should I try tonight? (I already know I'm going to like the #ronzacapa best.) Maybe #flordecaña VS #roncentenario? Those are the most common down here. #ronabuelo12años is good too, and they show up at our local craft beer fests. I'm nostalgic for the before times. Kemp: "You know what I think?

Spicy Vegan Chorizo Sausage Crumbles from @spabettie. This has a base of #cauliflowerrice. Instead of nuts to mimic meat texture, I used #soycrumbles. This was my batch cook of #veganprotein for the next couple of days. #lowcarbvegan is still going well. I'm not getting tired of it and it tastes great! #ketovegan #veganchorizo Zarcero, Costa Rica. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bohemiancostarica #zarcero #zarcerocostarica #costarica🇨🇷 #costaricagram #instacostarica #ig_costarica #vegancostarica #costaricavegan #ketocostarica #lowcarbcostarica #healthyveganfood #eatfatburnfat #eatfatlosefat #eatingmywaythroughcovid #whatveganseat #veganiseasy (at Zarcero) https://www.instagram.com/p/COl0gVKB5xV/?igshid=w1cz43y0t9ix

Spicey Italian Soy Crumbles with Mushrooms over Cauliflower Mash. The cauliflower was supposed to be similar to an Alfredo sauce, but it was too thick. I probably used too much cauliflower. But, the mash has olive oil, coconut milk, and vegan butter, so it's really creamy.

#eatyourveggies. So, I'm doing #lowcarbvegan, but I'm still eating lots of veggies, and it's working! I threw out my old jeans that didn't fit anymore, but I had one pair left, and they were much easier to get on this morning. I threw them out anyway, because they were from the time period when jeans were super-low rise. Don't wait to have your weight fluctuate before you get rid of your clothes that are out of style. Yikes! If those things had still fit me, I probably would have worn them until they fell apart. Low-rise jeans only looked good on Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Last year's carb-loading lifestyle did me a big favor! #glowupthreads #makeovergeek Zarcero, Costa Rica. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bohemiancostarica #zarcero #zarcerocostarica #costarica🇨🇷 #costaricagram #instacostarica #ig_costarica #vegancostarica #costaricavegan #vegansofinstagram #vegansofcostarica #lowcarbcostarica #ketovegan #ketocostarica #wholefoodsplantbased #healthyveganfood #veganaf (at Zarcero) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLxpT74BKbD/?igshid=qaag5kk9ijaz

#vegantacosalad with the #vegantacomeat I made earlier. Easy Summer Vegetable Salsa from ketodietapp.com.

This statement was not based on scientific evidence but, I suspect, pulled out of the ass of someone who wants to eat dead animals 3 times a day. I'll just be over here, eating #vegantacos, #unworried that I'm consuming something 'unhealthy,' while he consumes cholesterol and carcinogens all day long. #sorrynotsorry #veganisthefuture Zarcero, Costa Rica. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bohemiancostarica #zarcero #zarcerocostarica #costarica🇨🇷 #costaricagram #instacostarica #ig_costarica #lowcarbvegan #ketovegan #lowcarbcostarica #ketocostarica #healthyveganfood #eatyourveggies #veganaf #vegantacosalad #vegantacomeat (at Zarcero) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWLcsVLLKu-/?utm_medium=tumblr

#cauliflowerceviche from blog.131method.com. You cook the #cauliflower before combining all the ingredients. I've never seen this version anywhere. Sometimes I find plantain or hearts of palm ceviche, but not cauliflower. Recommend this to go with #vegantacos. #cevichelovers #cevichevegano Zarcero, Costa Rica. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bohemiancostarica #zarcero #zarcerocostarica #costarica🇨🇷 #costaricagram #instacostarica #ig_costarica #costaricavegan #vegancostarica #lowcarbvegan #ketovegan #lowcarbcostarica #ketocostarica #cauliflowerrecipe #eatinghealthy #healthyveganfood (at Zarcero) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV_U2axPnoY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Super spicy Vegan Sausage and Peppers from staceyhomemaker.com. I added tvp, along with the #vegansausage, to make a big batch of #veganprotein. The original recipe was low fat, but I'm doing #lowcarbvegan. Instead of the liquid used to do most of the cooking, I used 3 TBSP olive oil. #spicyveganfood #hotstuff🔥 Zarcero, Costa Rica. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bohemiancostarica #zarcero #zarcerocostarica #costarica🇨🇷 #costaricagram #instacostarica #ig_costarica #costaricavegan #vegancostarica #vegansofinstagram #vegansofcostarica #ketovegan #ketocostarica #lowcarbcostarica #eatfattolosefat #healthyveganfood (at Zarcero) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV84djOJzEI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Broccoli Salad from lifemadesweeter.com. You were supposed to use tahini in the dressing, but I substituted an avocado and some coconut milk. #worldveganday can be healthy, but there's plenty of more "indulgent" recipes out there. There's no valid excuse, at most income levels, for not being vegan.

Tomato Basil Soup from thenovicechef.com. I used #coconutmilk, balanced out by lime juice, instead of half and half. I also added #sauteedmushrooms. I need an immersion blender. The first batch of soup I loaded in the food processor kind of exploded. Lol! So this isn't as smooth as I would have liked.

I took a #veganminestrone soup base and changed it to #lowcarbvegan vegetable stew. I added #soycrumbles to boost the #veganprotein. I need to get some vegan parmesan to put on this! Onion, chile dulce, fresh mushrooms, 10 peeled tomatoes plus juice, zucchini, cauliflower, spinach. Veggies just taste good to me. The fact that they're healthy is a bonus. #healthyveganfood #eatyourveggies Zarcero, Costa Rica. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bohemiancostarica #zarcero #zarcerocostarica #costarica🇨🇷 #costaricagram #instacostarica #ig_costarica #costaricavegan #vegancostarica #vegansofinstagram #vegansofcostarica #lowcarbvegan #ketocostarica #lowcarbcostarica #ketovegan #wholefoodsplantbased (at Zarcero) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVnU3uCL7N2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Vegan Keto "Chicken" Curry from familyonketo.com. I substituted #soychunks for the chicken. The suggested garnish of green onion, tomato, and cucumber were a good idea. I included the juice of one lime to balance out the coconut milk and vegan butter.
