week one complete
This past week was week one of entirely vegan eating. I made a bunch of things from scratch, ALL of which came out perfect.
I made huge pots of french onion, leek and potato, and cream of mushroom soup, and have enough left over for a few meals in the upcoming week. I made Caesar salads for Nick and I that were really good. OH, and our friday night dinner was AMAZING. Fakin' Bacon-lettuce-tomato sanwiches (although mine also had red onion and avacado). I have been eating the left overs for 2 days.
So i am going to be posting all the new recipes i am trying on here.
I tried the vegan thing once before, but i did it more because carrie was vegan, and then nick. and i got worried when i was went 130 days without a period, but this time i am not doing it for them...i am doing it for me and only me. i want my life to be better than it is now, and i guess a good place to start would be taking care of myself a little before taking care of EVERYONE else. i've been reading books about converting to a vegan lifestyle, and all the health benefits of it, and also some great vegan meal planning. i am really excited, and dedicated to sticking to it this time.
I am going to stop buying meat and dairy for my house entirely. My kids already love a lot of meat substitutes, and soy milk, and smart dogs, so they shouldnt be too upset. they are just going to have to get used to poptarts without icing!
anyway, i have a lot more to say..but i dont feel like saying it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AMBER. i love you, and i hope you are having a wonderful first day of your 21st year!
