Soulful Vegan Cooking with Chef Cynthia

In 2013, I wrote my first cookbook entitled Soulful Vegetarian Cooking: A Southern Girl's Meaty Love Affair and Romantic Journey to Natural Foods on Instagram published by Caught You Learning Publishing.
The 66-page book offered humorous stories and intimate details related to the challenges I faced while caring for her terminally ill child and transitioning to a vegetarian lifestyle in the bar-b-que lovin' Deep South. Oh how I was teased by family and friends for giving up meat. But, I survived and changed some hearts and minds in the process.
My book included six of my favorite vegan and vegetarian recipes, along with tips for mothers looking to provide healthier organic foods to their families and transition to a vegetarian lifestyle without breaking the bank or losing the familiar texture and flavors they are accustomed to in their diet.
Below is one of my all time favorites from my book. #eatwellandlivelong
