i'm having an easy time with the "more veggies" thing, but it's not going as well with protein replacement...i wish more vegetables contained protein, or that i just didn't need the damn stuff, but i get hunger headaches easily, and i have a rather nasty stomach even in the best of times, so i suppose i should be careful.
ate too much guacamole again...it's an easy snack, and my all-time fave, but i feel like in a few days i'll start turning into a giant avocado. maybe i should just hold off on buying the stuff, and force myself to branch out and buy things i have no idea how to cook (like kale), or don't quite know how to use (like kale). i mean, this whole thing is supposed to be an experiment, right? so i need to actually start experimenting.
joy and i were brainstorming about cooking things i already like to eat, tailoring them to be vegan:
-potato salad made with an oil-mustard dressing, not mayo (her mom's recipe--it's amazing!)
-burrito bar! (she makes homemade tortillas)
-pesto pasta, hold the parmesan (MY mom's recipe--amazing!)
-bean soup (don't laugh, it's amazing!)
things i would have eaten today but didn't cause, well, i'm vegan for a while:
almond croissant
chocolate chip cookie (man, i REALLY wanted one)
effing CREAM CHEESE
things i don't miss:
milk (surprise!)
things i miss:
cheese
sour cream
effing CREAM CHEESE
tomorrow, a trip to a health food store? i'm on a little adventure!
