Hello, I'm Jac. I'm a Plant Based Food Blogger, YouTuber, and World Traveler. (Almost 400,000 Fans)

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemit Community,

My name is Jac (sounds like Jac). I am a Plant Based Food Blogger from Alabama, USA. I've been vegetarian for 10 years and vegan for almost 2 years. My website has reflected my diet changes. I produce Vegan recipes now, but have a backlog of 4 years of Vegetarian Recipes.

I am a fairly active person. I love hiking, playing soccer, and getting down & dirty in my garden. I do crossfit, mud runs, and love testing myself with new and difficult physical feats.

I've been an active social media user for the last decade and always love finding new ones. Thanks to @allasyummyfood for sharing this one me. I've amassed nearly 400,000 fans over the last 5 years with my @VegetarianBaker branded account. I'm very excited to start my journey on Steemit.

My goal is to share all of my delicious Vegan and Vegetarian Recipes with the world.. I'm not here to convert anyone to the plant based lifestyle. I just want to show you that Vegan & Vegetarian recipes can be easy, delicious, and enjoyed by all. I'm also working on my first official cookbook and I want to take the Steemit Community on that journey as well.

PLEASE FOLLOW & UPVOTE!!!

Now, this is a proper introduction :-)
I'm definitely looking forward to see what you gonna show us.
upvoted and following, young man :-)

Thanks so much. I had a little help from Alla. If i'm going to Steem right, I want to do it right the first time. :)

Its hard to do it all right from beginning on ^^
And you miss all that cool people which come around the corner to help :-)

Welcome Jac!! So happy you joined and you will share your amazing food here:)

Thank so much @allasyummyfood. This community has been absolutely wonderful. Definitely a game changer.

yes for sure :)))

Welcome to Steemit, Jac!

Awesome to see that Alla has introduced you.
I'm looking forward to your delicious posts and recipes on steemit! I'm sure you will have lots of fun on this platform!

Thanks. What a fun Gif That is.

I'm Still figuring it all out, but that's all a part of the adventure.

Hi Jac! Here is a post I did to help newcomers like yourself. Hope this helps. How To Use Steemit - https://steemit.com/howto/@sebastianjago/how-to-use-steemit-my-answers-in-point-form-with-some-hot-tips

This is awesome. Thanks. :)

Not vegan myself but I totally support big Youtubers coming here. Difference is great for the community :)

Completely agree. I don't consider myself a Big YouTuber. just moderately successful ahah ;)

It's big to me when I only have 130 followers on my YouTube channel haha. I was concentrating on growing my audience and then Steemit came along.

I guess you are right. I have a little over 42,000. I really want to get to 100K. Like you don't know how bad I want it.

Welcome to Steemit, I'm excited to see the veg crowd gaining steem, there's been relatively few of us for a while. Don't miss out on the weekly #steemitculinarychallenge, and have fun :-)


I just gifted you a @randowhale vote as part of an idea I'm calling #payitforward. As you can see from this image, my 2 $BD payment to @randowhale just turned into an increase of around $13 on your expected payout (meaning 6.5 $BD & some number of SteemPower). If you were to spend just 4 of that extra $BD to #payitforward to two other posts, you would still be ahead and could give them the same kind of boost, or maybe even more :-)


bvsa

Steem on!

PS: Thanks @randowhale

Hi! I'm vegan too - it's so good to find more plant based people - where are you guys hanging out?

Hi @harrietbradley! Following you :-)

I'm currently in Portland, OR, getting ready to spend about a month cooking at the National Rainbow Gathering -> Instant Soup 24hr Vegan Kitchen!

Woah that sounds amazing... You're going to have to blog about that, I've never even heard of that being a thing.

I've already written quite a few actually :-P

  • Here's a 5-part series breaking down what Rainbow is
  • Here's my presentation at Anarchapulco about it
  • Here's my guide to attending your first Gathering

I used to live in Portland. :)

@vegetarianbaker No surprise there, SOO many wonderful people in the veg-food game here :-)

Thats actually where I decided to go vegan. I live in alabama now, but it's extremely hard.

@kennyskitchen. I just figured out @randowhale so i'll be trying to payitforward soon with new accounts, once I find some worthy ones. :) Thanks for making my start hear much easier.

Thanks @kennyskitchen. :)

I'll be sure to do that once I figure out exactly what is going on with the cryptocurrency. :) Im excited to be joining the food scene on here and starting to build a bigger presence with the plant based community.

You're very welcome!

Hi Jac, looking forward to your postings. Myself I am on the Mucus free diet so I'm curious what recipes will fit me. In the meantime I will have a look/search at all the other links you gave us. Good luck on your Steemt adventure.

Mucus free diet? What exactly is that?

first off really sorry for missing your question, I had no idea you posted this question! I will answer right away!!

with this lifestyle the only foods you eat are: fruit, salads, cooked or baked vegetables, but...... only those that do not turn into mucus, puss or acid.
100 years ago Arnold Ehret discovered that stop eating mucus forming food, fasting and transition to a mucusfree diet will cure any disease. Luckily I have great health but after reading the book 'Mucusless Diet Healing System' by Prof Ehret and Prof Spiral

https://www.amazon.com/Arnold-Ehrets-Mucusless-Healing-System-ebook/dp/B00POQZPU0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499458666&sr=8-1&keywords=mucus+free+healing+system

I decided that I wanted to be clean in the inside as well. I am a vegetarian but even so I was getting a lot of mucus in my body. Since I started the diet I lost 9 kg which is a bit much for my posture but it will even out eventually I am told. I have been ill with high fever within the first 2 weeks, sore throat, blowing my nose like insane for about 10 days. All this is due to the mucus leaving my body, detoxing. 8 weeks later I feel great, light, positive, energy still a little low since I am for sure not done eliminating mucus and puss that got stuck everywhere from all these years.

When you start changing your diet into mucus free there is the so called 'transition diet' which can last how ever long you want it to be since you still can eat certain low mucus forming foods. But my goal is mucus free. It is important that you do not transition too fast, your body needs time to adjust to all the good it is receiving :)
All I can say is READ THE BOOK and then read all the other as well. Spira speaks is a great addition too! Cheers and my apologies from the ❤️

Welcome to Steem @vegetarianbaker!

Thank you so much. I love this so far.

Welcome aboard! I cannot wait to see some of your recipes on here. Followed

Thanks Matthew. I'm excited to see all the feedback from it. This community has welcomed me with open arms.

Congratulations @vegetarianbaker!

Oh wow cool. I'll check that out. :) Thanks for the feature.

Hello Jac, this is Ines from germany. I am working on consolidating a vegan lifestyle. I am vegetarian for twenty years now and I am really looking forward to the next post of you and many easy delicious recipes! 🍩🍰🍪

Oh yay. I"m glad you found my channel. I hope i can help you with any struggles you may have. Let me know if you have any questions. Im here for you.

I bet I will have questions. The other day I tried to make a cake with rhubarb and aquafaba instead of whipped eggwhite on top... It was a disappointment! To substitute eggs and white cheese and butter is still a challenge and the results are sometimes - let's say - surprising... 😝

Hi Jac, Truly a great introduction!!
Looking forward to your recipes. Impressive with 400,000 fans! Hope you can bring all of them over here. :)

That's the goal. The more the merrier. :) Thanks for stoping by and commenting.

welcome @vegetarianbaker to steemit!

Thanks so much. I'm loving it so far. Can't wait to really grasp it all. :)

Thanks. I'm still figuring it all out, but enjoying it so far.

Great, I'm a vegetarian as well btw... I do post a lot of blogs that help beginners in cryptocurrencies and steemit... be sure to follow @wvm

I have no clue what cryptocurrency is. I'll be sure to check out your profile.

Steemit is a social network based on a cryptocurrency blockchain.

I did know that, but not 100% really sure what that means. My friend who went to the steemit conference last year is going to explain it to me once I figure out how to do the social networking side of it.

Welcome!!

Nice to see one of the vegetarian brothers on steemit.

Good luck

It's odd that there aren't many vegetarian or vegan males out there. I'm trying to change the stereotype. :)

hehe yeah there aren't a lot.

Hi Jac :) As a vegetarian (who also has a fondness for playing soccer!) I look forward to following you. Hope you enjoy Steemit :D

Woohoo. I went vegetarian when I was 16 due to having issues with my pancreas. :) I'm glad you are excited for my blog. :)

Welcome to steemit!:) Look forward for the vagan recipes!:)

Hopefully you'll be satisfied. So many recipes are coming soon.

welcome Jac :) really great to have you here, I hope you will enjoy steemit ;) As I am vegan myself I am very curious on your future posts :)

Thanks. How big is the Vegan / Vegetarian Community on here? I've been using the food tag, but it is crowded with all food stuff.

To be honest, I don't really now. I am mostly posting about nature photography and just made a few posts about food (probably will do more). I had quite some good response though...

Welcome to Steemit... I will follow you to see what's up....

Thanks. 200 followers in less than a week and still growing. Hoping for the best. Thanks for your support.

Wellcome @vegetarianbaker.
I wish you success with the steemit family.

Thank you so much. ;)

Big welcome to you Jac! My wife is gonna love your content and we're gonna love eating it! =)

YAY! I try to make my recipes as simple as possible. ;) If you have any questions about future recipes, just hit me up.

Welcome to Steemit! I've subscribed to your channel on YouTube for awhile and enjoy your videos, as an opportunistic omnivore. Your channel has inspired me to try new things and adapt some to wild foods and what I grow in my garden. I think you'll find Steemit an interesting venture and an introduction to a new universe. Best of luck here on Steemit and happy cooking!

OH wow. Didn't expect to see a subscriber on here. Thanks for stopping by and letting me know. I'm working on a garden to table series on my channel, but waiting for my veggies to come to full growth. :)

A garden to table series would be really nice! I've met so many people that never learned how to use garden vegetables like a turnip. Happy gardening!

I don't have any vegetables like turnips. This year we have a bunch of herbs, cucumbers, kale, tomatoes, beans, pumpkin, and watermelons.

You will cook a lot of great food with those vegetables! :D

Oh I'm excited. I'm going to try pickeling the cucumbers

There are so many pickle recipes! I wonder which you do? :D

Welcome and I love your page. I know I am going to love your cooking. Great job. I have so much to learn. Have a great evening.

Same to you. I have no clue what I'm doing on here, but I love talking to people. This seems to be a great platform to feature my recipes and talk to people who like them. I'm pretty excited for it. :)

Ditto! LOL!

Its great to have you join the Steemit family.
Welcome @vegetarianbaker

Great introduction! Welcome !! Definitely following you for pure gluttonous reasons.

Haha. Thanks. :) My food looks good, but tastes even better.

Well, hello there sir! Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you as well. :)

Thanks. There's hundreds of recipes coming your way then. :)

Welcome! Keep on helping steemit to grow and progress.

Thanks @artz. The community has been awesome so far.

Welcome Jac i've been Vegetarian for around 2 years now and my culinary skill have progresses but i'm definitely looking forward to your posts seems theses day all i'm cooking are baked falafels.

You are ahead of me. I've never made falafel, but I love it. I'm a classically trained pastry chef turned plant based food blogger. I love it so far.

Im hoping at some point you will post a recipe for Veggie/Vegan sushi rolls i've made my own but they never taste the same as in the restaurant.

I've never made them, but I actually have been wanting to do a recipe for them. I have one that uses quinoa, but haven't tried it out yet. All my recipes come with How To videos to make it all easy to grasp. :)

Welcome to Steemit. Great addition! More vegans around, the better :-)
I also do mud runs, btw.

Yay. I've done 4 tough mudders (and qualified for world's toughest mudder in 2012). I've done 3 spartan races as well. I'm hoping to do another one later this year. :)

Wow world toughest mudder. Nice. I have done few Spartan races. I am doing one next weekend, hopefully, if shin split allows lol (got it 2 weeks ago after the last race)

Shin splints are the worst. I had them when i played soccer. Luckily they haven't come back. knock on wood

Greetings - my wife is Vegan and often hosts yoga retreats at our Lodge in Michigan. I'm neither a Yoga practitioner nor a practicing Vegan but I do enjoy cooking new dishes for us. Hoping to learn a thing to two from you. Good luck and welcome to Steem-it (by the way, I posted my first post too today so we share a similar "birth day!")

HAHA. :) Ill check it out. What part of Michigan. I used to live in the upper peninsula.

We are not too far from Ann Arbor. It's a nice place to live.

Oh nice. I haven't been back for over a decade. Would love to see it in the summer.

Thanks so much. :)

Welcome to the awesome community @vegetarianbaker! Looking forward to your posts :)

Thanks. you are right. This community is awesome so far. Can't wait for them to see my recipes. :)

As a long time vegetarian I love seeing how and what other vegetarians/vegans are cooking up! Baking has been my hardest task. I make great bread, but cakes not so great. I recently discovered using chickpeas and the cooking water as an egg replacer. I will be checking out your sites!!

Oh you won't be disappointed. I have a vegan doughnut recipe coming out next week and it's amazing. :)

Hey Jac, man is it nice to see some fresh content that is not related to cyrptocurrency. I followed you in hopes of finding some information on eatting healthy and getting away from the poison most call food , now adays. I am new to steemit but hope to grow. I am looking forward to your blogs/vlogs/ recipes and all around good information. My wife and i already try to eat the best we can by not going out to eat and trying not to buy or eat any processed foods. That aside, thank you for your content. 😁

Thanks so much. I have no clue what cryptocurrency is. I just love finding new platforms to share my recipes that people hopefully enjoy. This has been first day experience on a social media platform I've ever had.

hey Jac, great one, loving this ;)

Thank you so much. ;)

greetings! the world can never have too many vegans :)

I totally agree. :) As long as they don't all eat my veggies we are good. haha

hehe - well, we just have to retrain them to stop pooping in toilets so to get those seeds germinating wildly again - then, no problem lol. 8D

hahah very true. Good luck on convincing people to do that. ;)

Welcome Jac. I'll follow you for new ideas on vegetarian recipes and if you like you can check out my posts on gardening. Thanks.

Great. I just started gardening last year and learning everyday. :)

A lot of good stuff under gardening that should help you along.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

I've been post 2 or 3 a week but there are other good posts up there also. Let me know if you have any specific questions and I'll try and answer.
