Hanging in There

It has been eight weeks since I took the plunge. I still salivate at the sight of cheddar but I an hanging in there. Cheddae was quite an addiction for me. Eggs and other animal products, I do not miss at all.

I had been trying to eat more greens but since the spinach scare, I have cut back on chard and kale also just to be on the safe side. I hope this clears up soon, I do not want to live in fear of a vegetable (LOL)

Looking back on the last six weeks

vegannewbieLooking back on the last six weeks, I realized that I made quite a few mistakes - trying to keep my meals completely healthy. Last Saturday,. I made a batch of Oatmeal/Chocolate chip cookies. I used a vegan margarine, vegan chocolate chips, dried cranberries , whole wheat pastry flour and all-purpose unbleached flour. It was a variation on my favorite cookie. (yummy!)

I have also been cooking from scratch. I do not know why I am being so self righteous. This week, I am going to lighten up. It is OK to use canned beans or frozen falafel or prepared humuus.

I hope this is just a phase and that it is over!
