The Connection between Who you Date and What you Eat @AYIDATING
What you put in your mouth says a lot about you, or rather, who will date you. After analyzing 2.4 million interactions, dating site AYI.com discovered just how much your dietary preferences affect your dating life.
The data they found can not only help you find your perfect match, but can help you decide where to take your date out to eat just by looking at their profile—because there’s no faster way to ruin a first date than taking a vegetarian out to a steakhouse! Here’s what AYI.com says to look for:
- Gender—It turns out that men prefer vegetarian women 11% more than meat eaters, yet women prefer meat eaters 13% more than vegetarians.
- Ethnicity—Indians are 11x more likely than all other ethnicities to be vegetarian, while Native Americans (followed by African-Americans) are the most likely to be meat eaters. Asians most often identify as healthy eaters—twice as often as African-Americans or Caucasians.
- Religion—Christians are the most likely to be meat eaters, while Hindus are over 8x more likely than any other religion to be vegetarian/vegan.
- Education—According to AYI.com, the more education you have, the more likely you are to be a healthy eater. Those with a Ph.D. are 3x more likely than someone with any other degree to be vegetarian, while those without any collegiate experience are 17% more likely than all other education levels to be meat eaters.
- Location—It’s no surprise that the state your date is from also plays a role in how healthily they eat. California, New York and Florida are the three states with the highest percentage of healthy eaters, while North Dakota, West Virginia and Montana are the least healthy. So if you’re taking a California girl out, you might want to stay away from that greasy burger joint, but if she’s from North Dakota, she might appreciate the grub!

It’s now a week after Thanksgiving, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep eating. Here’s a small sampling of what you can eat between now and the next big holiday.
Scrambled eggs with kale!
Green beans!
Ramen!
All savory dishes can be improved with a dash of Onion Crunch (original roasted is very versatile):
I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s delicious, especially when compared with the other crunch choices:
In the words of Onion Crunch themselves, “Put it on everything!”

Breakfast with @taftfoods Vegetarian Seitan Gryo and Sausage
Vegetarian Seitan Gryo and Sausage sounds yummy! I finally had the chance to try these meat alternatives products and I was really surprised! The biggest difference from meat is the actual texture but the taste and how easy it was to prepare made me really happy!
Seitan {say-tan}, although made from wheat, has little in common with flour or bread. Also called the “meat of wheat,” seitan becomes surprisingly similar to the look and texture of meat when cooked, making it a popular meat substitute. Seitan is also high in protein, making it a popular protein source.
Seitan comes from the Japanese words “sei,” meaning “to be, become, made of,” and “tan,” as in tanpaku, which means “proteins.” Freely translated: “made of proteins.”
More than 1,000 years ago, seitan was prepared by Zen Buddhists in China as a substitute for meat or fish. Although seitan was first developed in China, it has historically been very popular in the cuisines of Japan and other East and Southeast Asian nations.
Since the mid-20th century, seitan has been increasingly adopted by vegetarians in Western nations as a meat substitute. Seitan is quickly gaining popularity, particularly in mainstream restaurants, due to its ability to take on the texture and flavor of meat.
As more people are looking to improve diet, seitan is becoming a healthy alternative for non-vegetarians as well.
Taft’s seitan is made by hand and seasoned for today’s international tastes! It comes to you frozen and already cooked; literally, a heat-and-eat item. Simply heat our seitan to serving temperature and to add texture. All of our products heat in less than 60 seconds on stovetop, or in 15 seconds by microwave. Our products are available through direct shipping or via distribution.
With blueberry pancakes – this was the perfect breakfast!

Good Eats: Dinner, Lunch, Snacks with @gardein
I can’t remember the last time I cooked, and I mean cooked, cooked. As in cooked a good meal. Ever since taking on a promotion, and another job, the only thing I have time for is sleep, and even then I don’t get much. So I’ve basically been living off of avocados (lots of avocados), cucumbers, the occasional Sullivan & Bleeker red velvet cookie, and these AMAZING new meatless products by Gardein that I recently discovered.
This was the first time I tried Gardein products, and it was a truly marvelous experience. I meant to take a picture, but I was so hungry, and had inhaled my food before I realized that I needed to take a picture… lol
Some of you know that I was vegetarian for a while, then I fell of the wagon (sh*t happens), but I recently went back to being a vegetarian at the beginning of April, and so far I’m loving it! I was a meat eater for the longest time, and I find that sometimes I crave the texture of meat, but not necessarily the meat itself, this is wear Gardein foods come in. They are meatless, a meaty texture, have lots of protein (Garden+Protein= Gardein), and they are DELICIOUS. Did I mention that they don’t take more than 8 minutes to prepare?? *does church dance*
100 calories you say? And it tastes great? I’m in.
Oh… then I had these bad boys.
So delicious! (I like to eat my food out of tupperware, don’t judge me.)
I made a Chili with these: chopped them up, threw in some red kidney beans, mushrooms, and peppers, but they too didn’t make it to photo time, as my hunger got the best of me lol.
I can’t stress how good these Gardein meatless products are… they are SOOOOOO GOOD!
Praise the Lord, this was so good!
You think that they just look like they taste good… No, they taste Fantastic! This is one of my absolute favourites!
In addition to the ones above, I’ve had the sizzling szechuan beefless strips and the sweet and tangy barbecue wings, and I can’t wait to try EVERYTHING else that they offer. I’m still living off of lots of avocados and cucumbers, but these Gardein goodies have definitely brought the spark back into my dinners, lunches, and snacks!
Thank you to Mr. Yves Potin, for making these yummy yummy meatless treats, it definitely makes sticking to being a vegetarian that much easier!
stay healthy!

Soy GOOD
Lately I’ve been beyond lazy when it comes to cooking, and have been living off of oatmeal, cereal, and bagels. I needed to make things a little more exciting, so I bought some soy bites and made a DELICIOUS stir fry with green peppers, mushrooms, garlic and ginger.
Of course I HAD to have some steamed broccoli
T’was such a good dinner.
peace and love
