Vegan Burger Or Vegan Chicken Salad Sandwich?
Vegan Burger, A Natural Craving!
We all crave a vegan burger now and again. There are so many meat alternative choices these days it’s hard to keep up. You can have your typical Beyond Meat burger, like the one Paige will cook for us today. Or you can try something different, like Sherri’s Chicken Salad Sandwich…not quite a burger, but just as delicious! Or you can have any of the other meat alternative options available at most grocery stores these days! Which one will you choose?
Who Are These Two Kitchen Magicians?
Sherri is an entrepreneur, certified personal trainer and Pilates teacher, wife, and mother to two creative talented young men. Starting her career in the fashion and beauty industry, she has an eye for what works! For the last 15 years, she’s worked with hundreds of clients, supporting them in transforming their lives. “Fitness is apart of me. It is my passion to inspire women to see their inner and physical strengths. It’s very rewarding.” During her fitness journey, Sherri created the company W29 Activewear brand for women and men 5 years ago, bringing high-quality athletic wear to the market to inspire and motivate people to move their bodies. Living a plant-based lifestyle for the past 4.5 years started her on another phase in her life. She loves veganizing her favorite recipes and learning a different way of preparing her childhood favorites into plant-based meals. “Being able to cause no harm to a living creature has been so liberating and rewarding.”
Celebrating being vegan for 4.5 years now, Paige has been committed to bringing ECO-VEGANISM to the forefront of every interaction: Environmentally conscious vegan living. After watching the documentary COWSPIRACY, she went vegan on the spot. Her daughter Katelyn, 13 at the time, chose veganism for the animals 6 months earlier. Paige, on the other hand, after being shocked by the amount of water it takes to put a hamburger on a plate and the fact that animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation and climate change, chose to go vegan “for the environment.” Soon after, she attended her first pig vigil with LA Animal Save/Save Movement. Once she looked at those baby pigs in the eyes, she knew why her daughter had gone vegan.
Paige became a Contributor for JaneUnChained News after cooking as a guest chef on LunchBreakLIVE. She met Jane Velez-Mitchell at VegFestLA then at Moby’s Circle V Festival. Inspired by Jane’s bold courage, Paige now reports for JNN on all the latest animal rights events, including The Save Movement’s pig/chicken/cow vigils, various PETA protests, VegFests, book launches, Anonymous for the Voiceless’ Cube of Truths, and vegan conferences. Paige is now also the Booker for #LunchBreakLIVE and many other shows on the JaneUnChained News Network.
Sherri and Paige co-host a fun, lively weekly show, “Plant-Based in the ‘Burbs,” bringing the ABC’s of plant-based cooking, including kitchen tips and tricks, highlighting incredible plant-based products available on the market, as well as showing how to eat a whole food plant-based diet.
