Day 1: The Veginning

The day has finally arrived: Day 1 of the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart. After a weekend full of roasted meatiness (read: Annual Family Pig Roast), I am beyond ready to go vegan. Looking back, four chickens and sausage stuffing all sewn up into a pig on a spit DOES seem a little over-the-top.

And how could someone eat something with a face as cute as this?

Poor piggy. Let the conscious, cruelty-free eating begin.

For breakfast: a bowl of ooey gooey apple-cinnamon oatmeal with raisins, walnuts, and a wee-tad bit of maple syrup.

So filling, I couldn’t finish the entire bowl.

For lunch: a portabella, onion, pepper, and spinach wrap w/ spicy homemade salsa. Simply scrumptious.

Portabella fajita? Yes, please!

And finally, for dinner: Tofu/Veggie Stir-Fry

With homemade tofu, no less!

Today was a breeze. I did catch myself one time reaching for the carton of cottage cheese to snack on–oops. No worries. I grabbed some nuts and raisins instead–satisfied. Twenty more days and tons of recipes to look forward to! This is gonna be a piece of (vegan) cake.

Oh, and if you see anything you like, drop me a comment and I’ll post the recipe!

Until tomorrow, food lovers.
