Denver Sheffield likes Vegan Beef Stew

Today's Vegan Person I Like is Denver Sheffield. Denver is the husband of yesterday's Vegan Person, my friend Flo! Denver is born and raised in Georgia, where he still lives south of Atlanta. According to his wife, he spent many years as a vegan "weirdo" in the South, but apparently veganism is even making it's way over to their neck of the woods and life is becoming a lot more comfortable! Denver likes to race sport bikes, cheer for (of course) the Denver Broncos, and spoil the heck out of his bulldog, Chai.

The Vegan Thing that Denver Likes is his favorite comfort food, Vegan Beef Stew.

My favorite vegan food is a meal; Vegan Beef Stew. I grew up on stews, beans and corn bread and meals like chicken and dumplings. When my wife was able to re-create beef stew last winter as a vegan meal it became a staple favorite for me. We found Gardein Beefless TipsWe used the recipe from Gardein as well, but made our own modifications.

When Denver isn't at home eating beef stew, you might find him at Green Sprout eating tasty vegan Chinese food in Atlanta!

Flo Sheffield likes Red Star Nutritional Yeast

The Vegan Person I Like today is Flo Sheffield! Flo is a great friend of mine who lives outside of Atlanta, GA and who I unfortunately haven't seen in years due to distance! Despite that fact, we remain close due to a shared interest in yoga, veganism, our dog friends, and finding our best lives no matter what may come! Flo is a devoted wife, dog mom to her baby Chai (pictured), and a wonderfully dedicated student and teacher of yoga in Atlanta. She is unfailing her in her kindness to others and puts that sweet southern charm (she is originally from New Orleans) to good use making people feel right at home in her presence.

Pay her a visit at her yoga blog, Southern Yogini and leave her a nice comment! If you're in Atlanta, check out one of her yoga classes in the area and prepare to be inspired!

The Vegan Thing Flo Likes is Red Star Nutritional Yeast.

A product that I love to use in cooking is Red Star Nutritional Yeast. For me converting to veganisim cutting out cheese was the toughest part. I was able to use nutritional yeast to re-create a hearty and healthy mac and cheese. I also love sprinkling some on a fresh avocado or on popcorn. It really is a staple in our house!
