Vegan Lentil Okra Chili
Kevin Spicy Pretending to be Vegan Lentil Okra Chili
Elliface here. Honestly, vegan and vegetarian food fascinates me when it's done right. There's so much more thought and science behind making foods taste just fine without all the meaty or dairy shortcuts. Sometimes Kevin likes to stretch these vegan muscles, even though he's an omnivore like the rest of us.
