When I first started trying vegan dishes, I found myself not finding much to appease my inner carnivore. I came across the idea of using TVP as a meat substitute one day, and it soon became a game-changer. Tweaking the sloppy joe recipe I've used in the past (one that called for ground beef), I was soon able to find a 100% vegan recipe that I enjoyed far more than the meat-ridden one I had grown up on.
