Questions Answered

Yes I am a Vegan. Yes I am a lover of animals and my health. But NO I am not a lover of tofu! The question most commonly answered is: What do you eat? Tofu? Everyone thinks of vegetarianism or veganism as a love for tofu and animals. Yes I love animals and animal cruelty should be considered a mortal sin but tofu takes a back seat to my meals. My meals consist of vegatables, grains, and legumes. And for those of you who say, beans? Ickkkk! I was the worst at eating beans and adding them to any meal, but discovering new ways to eat and prepare them have become a life saver. I want everyone to know being a vegan is a joy and eating a vegan diet is not a hard thing. If anyone was a skeptic it was my meat eating husband. I changed his mind in 1 weekend! Saturday night was a vegan chinese dinner and Sunday was a vegan mexican night. Saturday included lo-mein, sweet and sour vegetables, and homemade egg-rolls. Convinced yet? Ok well Sunday was southwestern eggrolls and cilantro lime rice with an avacado-ranch dipping sauce. I will be posting the recipes and encourange all of you to try them. They are delicious and may change how you feel about adding vegan meals to your diet. Becoming vegan not only changes your health but is saving our planet.
