Join the live Q&A with Chef AJ and John Pierre on Saturday, July 15 2023, at 9am Pacific here on Chef AJ's YouTube channel Karen's Story After growing up as a thin normal child and teen, I started gaining weight in my twenties. Then when I got pregnant with my oldest son, I gained 50 lbs and never really looked back. I gained another 20-25 lbs with each of my boys. By the time my third son was born, I was over 200 lbs. At 5'5", that was 75 lbs overweight. Every time I tried to lose weight, I would succeed for a couple of months but would always regain what I lost and a few more lbs extra. In the 90s, I tried phen-fen and lost 70 lbs only to once again, gain the weight back plus a little more. By the time the 2000s rolled around, I was 100+ lbs overweight. In 2004, I was at my heaviest at 260 lbs. In 2011, I had a stroke after eating a low low carb diet and not being able to maintain it. It left me with left side weakness including left hemisphere blindness. Finally in 2019, I discovered a whole food plant exclusive diet and the secret to finally losing the weight that had plagued me. I also found Chef AJ and eating sofas free and I never intend to go back to meat and dairy. Last year, I had an undiagnosed excruciating pain and while I continued to eat wfpe, I let Taco Bell hook me in. I did the reboot last year and started to regain my desire for sofas free and understanding how important it is. I am slowly losing the 15 lbs I gained and I also re-examined my why. Being wfpe-sofas free has been a great way to eat!

Cut the tofu into cubes and place on parchment paper with sea salt (optional) and pepper and bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Set aside. Skewer all the vegetables and the tofu in any arrangement that you would like. You can brush the sweet and sour sauce on but with the sugar it tends to burn so I brushed it on after the vegetables were grilled. Rotate skewers with tongs until browned on all sides. Remove kebabs from the grill and serve over rice. Drizzle more sauce if needed. Cilantro Rice (Makes 3 to 4 servings) Ingredients: 1 cup long grain Brown Rice 2 cups Water ½ teaspoon sea salt (optional) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro 2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced ½ cup slivered almonds, toasted Directions: In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water, sea salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until rice is cooked, and water is absorbed. Remove from heat, and let sit, covered, for 15 minutes. Add lemon juice, cilantro, scallions and almonds to the rice and fluff with a fork. You can also cook the rice in your Instant Pot and then add in the other ingredients after opening the lid.
