I know it sounds like a radical shift, but I'm not vegan, just enjoying plant-based cooking. If it doesn't taste fabulous, I won't make it again. You might try a few recipes and see his response. One thing I've discovered is I was eating a lot of junk because I was hungry a lot. Now that I'm focusing more on plant based foods, I'm not as hungry and not tempted to stuff my face all the time. I still make sourdough bread every few weeks, but I don't even crave that anymore and I've lost 13 pounds. Just had my blood drawn last week and I'm waiting to hear the results on my lipid panel. I also needed to bring it down.
