Being Cuban and being Vegetarian rarely exists in Miami, especially when Latin food is so heavily concentrated on meat. What's even harder is trying to be a HEALTHY, CUBAN, VEGETARIAN... That you never hear! So, when life gives you the option of Veggie Crumbles, a ripe plantain and a pantry full of Goya Black Beans... You gotta make do with what you got! This is my journey on being a healthy, CUBAN, vegetarian.
