I have been a vegetarian since I was 20 years old in college. I'm now 71 years old still have a 32" waist, my hair is medium brown and I don't dye my hair. Even though I'm 71 years old, people think I'm in my mid 30's. When I first became a vegetarian, one would be lucky if they could find 3 books at the library or book store, vegetarianism was unheard of. I'm so happy for the internet and the amount of people that are vegans and vegetarian or plant base. Liam::

[@magalissantiago2817]

Nice job!

[@victoriablanc761]

great video! I've seen a lot of you tubers make this lately and yet this video was still pretty informative. I think I might add a touch of soy sauce for some saltiness and a pinch of smoked paprika. I just bought two bags of organic white flour as I want to try and make some chicken by washing it. We have vital wheat gluten in the house but I just can't get past the after taste so we prefer to use soy curls or TVP. This and other videos has made me want to come back to wheat gluten! Thank you all for sharing!

[@1stJohn3.9-10]

This looks amazing! I've only been a vegetarian for about 5 months, because of a random 12-minute conversation that I had with a total stranger... while I was on the Carnivore Diet. So far everything that I've made, kind-of looks like meat, but so far nothing tastes like meat.

You’re welcome! That’s great, I’m glad my recipe have been helpful. I’ve stored the crepes in the fridge for up to a week, the do dry out and crack, but are still delicious once fried. Unfortunately, I do not know if they freeze well.

[@yessicainfante831]

@@SitarasMoon please do, I’m curious. 😊

[@SitarasMoon]

@@yessicainfante831 hello! So, I froze them and thawed them and they survived freezing! Mine are a little thicker as I'm still learning technique, but I like them as they are a bit "meatier" in texture (which my elderly mom likes, as she is a meat eater) and gives a nice chew. I also cooked them straight from frozen, but they kinda crumbled a bit, so I recommend thawing first before cooking, unless you want bacon bits. As a side note: do not microwave these as they WILL burn! I tried to thaw them in the microwave and they started smoking like crazy and they flamed a bit! Lol My guess is it's due to them being starch-based with no protein or fat to act as a buffer. So, no to microwaves, but freezing them is fine. 😊 Hope this helps!
