Day 5 is going swimmingly so far, although I confess I was dreaming about hamburgers...cheeseburgers specifically. But, the interesting thing is that I'm not willing to actually go out and get one! It would feel like I'm betraying my promise. I think that this blog is actually helping me to adhere to the vegan adventure. Writing down everything you eat is supposed to help you lose weight...why not stick to being vegan?
This vegan thing is even being attributed to my eye recovery. Maybe, but I think that the steroids are probably what's doing it. I'm about ready to rebuild the foundation! Steroids? Never mind. I've had this thing for 16 long days...and it's finally getting better.
Anyway, if you've read the comments, you'll see what Gar wrote about teeth and meat. All very interesting stuff...although, my incisors are pretty fearsome, Gar. And I think that the more I hear about this stuff, the more I'm likely to stay on this or at least modify my diet greatly.
I went to the grocery store and got some Soy Vey Teriyaki for some tofu "steaks" and became very excited about some sun dried tomatoes.
Excitement? About sun dried tomatoes? Well, actually, that's not so weird. Perhaps I was excited because I didn't expect Pete's to actually have sun dried tomatoes. But, I thought that we could add it to our veggie pasta later on.
So far today:
Whole wheat pancakes made with almond milk, no eggs, no oil. We topped it with Earth Balance buttery spread and maple syrup...and some chocolate...and potato chips for lunch.
Thank god chips are vegan!!
OK, did I cheat a little? The mix actually contained buttermilk solids...but it's Sunday! And Sunday's are technically exempt from Lent!
Look it up if you don't believe me!
Besides, I wasn't going to throw out a whole box of delicious whole wheat pancake mix for a few buttermilk solids that we had bought long before our vegan venture.
So, Nancy, send off those recipes!
I think that the worst thing for me is dessert! The vegan dessert thing just isn't doing it for me! I need BUTTERCREAM! REAL buttercream!
Oh well...dark chocolate will have to do...
Cheers!

Trying to copy things that are dairy-full is the worst! Very good veggie/vegan place near our house has good desserts until you get to the frosting, and then there is a distinct cool whip after-taste (more of an after-feeling; slime, or something).
ReplyDeleteAlmond milk is delish, though! and, low carb. Always good for the old blood sugar. Tofutti Cuties? Bite-sized (for my big mouth anyway).
