You helped us raise $2,390.00 for Shelter Friends!! Thank you so much for helping us support such a wonderful organization! We hope you LOVE your recipe!!
When building my businesses I always knew it was important to give back and during this week of celebrating STL Veg Girl’s 10th anniversary and Center for Plant-based Living’s 2nd anniversary, we’re also giving back and I think you’ll find this one very tasty!
Years ago Mike Johnson of SugarFire Smoke House, and I collaborated for a charitable cause and his contribution was selling vegan ribs out of his restaurant. St. Louis’ favorite BBQ joint was selling vegan ribs for a cause and they were flying out of there! We 86’d them in record time, put a little cash into an organization in need and had some very happy customers! Those were incredible vegan ribs and I vowed to myself to get to work and make my own version of ribs that tasted, smelled, and tore apart like real ribs.
Over the years I tried and tried (aaaaaand tried)! It came to me one day and I substituted a few ingredients, and used a new technique, and voila! I had it! I tested them on friends then added them to a class in 2019. Attendees nearly fell out of their seats in disbelief! They almost licked their plates clean! All of this and no meat sweats!
I never added the recipe to my website; I make them on special occasions and that’s it.
The charitable component of our celebration anniversary week is raising money for an organization dear to my heart - Shelter Friends. They are a nonprofit organization established to promote the health and welfare of homeless animals in and around St. Charles, Missouri. They are not a rescue group; they are a shelter assistance and networking group whose purpose is to help homeless pets find rescue or adoption. They are a small organization who works tirelessly to continually raise money for each and every homeless animal who needs medical help. They then go one to assist with fostering and adopting. They’re the underdog and that’s who I support.
These are our two love bugs who we adopted with the help of Shelter Friends. SnoopCatt is super smart, chatty and the most lovable kitty I’ve ever had. Newcomer Trixie is a fireball and has a purring motor that would make a diesel engine blush.
