I was never a big meat eater, so when I decided to eliminate mamal products from my diet, it was not difficult.  However, there was one food I always missed.  Growing up in a traditional meat-eating American home, my mom used to make the best barbarque spare ribs. I loved them.  The few times I’ve strayed from my vegetarian food plan, it was because I couldn’t resist my hankering for an order of ribs.

Last week I tried Gardenburger’s “BBQ Riblets.  They are made with mostly soy and wheat gluten.  I was shocked at how delicious they are.  The texture, though not like meat, was quite good.  If you like barbeque on the sweet side, like I do, I think you’ll enjoy the sauce tremedously.  If you have low sodium requirements or like a dry non-sweet sauce, you may not enjoy them as much as me.

I have a healthy appetite.  One serving may appear small, but it’s filling.  They take about 3 minutes in the microwave.  The box let’s you know it’s just 250 calories per serving, and each serving has 5  grams of dietary fiber.  Throw in a potato or yam and some greens and you’ve got a great meal. And of coarse, it’s animal free!  For more information please go to www.gardenburger.com
