Why did you become vegan? I was raised a vegetarian by my Seventh Day Adventist mother, and after a short hiatus from that, I decided to go all in and not eat any dairy, meat, or fish.

Baked Tofu (Frozen tofu thawed, sliced into ½ inch thick slices, brushed with Olive oil or your choice, toss in a mixture of yeast flakes, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, cover al sides, and bake until golden brown on both sides.
