6/30 Vegan Challenge Begins

Happy first day of the Vegan Challenge.  Sandy and I have been working up to this day with a lot of label reading, recipe seeking and dairy consumption (clearing out the fridge and pantry). We are ready, bring it on. In the comment section of the June 25th post there are two more recipes from readers that we can use to replace the Morningstar Farms Bacon if you are going vegan. If you are meatatarian but trying out some veg things…try the Morningstar Farms bac’n…you will adore it and will wake up wanting it.

I read the most interesting article today  in the June issue of Time . It is about researchers from  the University of Missouri  that have been working  for over a decade on a soy chicken product to rival all others. What they believe they have finally mastered is the texture. The stringy, meaty texture of chicken that is most often absent in faux chicken products. The writer for Time was able to meet the dynamic research duo and  to taste the chick’n in three different dishes. Here is the link the the full story. There is also a two minute video you can view of his experience at the lab. I really enjoyed it.

I am sending you all the positive and excited energy today on the first day of your 30 day challenges. Lets do our very best, have a great time and learn new things about our bodies and what we really like to consume.

As I said I would, I have weighed and measured myself in the interest of the Vegan Challenge. For the next 30 days I will be the best and healthiest vegan I can be. I will release my fear of good fats and embrace vibrant health like a life preserver in the middle of the ocean.  Who knows, this really could be my life preserver in a more literal sense.

Lets do it!!

Have a delicious day.

    Thank you! So far day one has been a great success. We love both Inn Season and Amici’s but have not been to Amici’s in 100 years. Are they doing anything vegan or are you ordering without cheese? Their crust is SO amazing and their Stoli Doli’s are outrageous.
