I haven't had any major discussions guiding people to veganism that i can recall, i mostly just try to host my friends and cook them delicious vegan food so that they know vegan food can be delicious too. All my friends and family know I'm vegan and know they can ask me questions. A lot ask me for the recipes i make. If they ask questions about being vegan then i answer and ask them what's stopping them and see if theres any misconceptions i can help with. I wouldn't say those are major conversations, just small guiding ones
Firstly, I love your username!
You and I have a very similar approach. I know my 'extreme' views are off putting. But I make good food that aligns with my views. If people can see how easy (inexpensive and healthy) it is, maybe they will take off the meat goggles, lol.
Thanks! It was inspired by this recipe that i had wanted to share around the time i made my acct lol.
But exactly! Last year our friend group went on vacation and everyone was happy to let us cook vegan food for all our meals. It averaged less than $4 per person, per meal compared to the area would've been 5x that to eat out. The friends were genuinely shocked when i told them how little it was for a week. We cheated a little bit by bringing pre-portioned spices for the recipes but bought everything else fresh. Most of the dinner recipes were also just slow cooker meals. We made a simple breakfast, packed a lunch, and threw something in a slow cooker while we went out to explore. Really showed everyone how making healthy food doesn't have to be expensive or take a long time
