I always tell people that I don’t miss eating meat and it’s true, but there are still some favorite dishes from childhood that I find myself craving now and then. It’s not really the meat that I miss–it’s the convenience of a burger for lunch or the comfort of a bowl of chicken noodle soup when I’m feeling sick. So I’m always a sucker for a good vegetarian remake.
