Vegan Diet

Well today is the "official" end of our groups vegan diet. I really dont like using the word diet so I am going to call it lifestyle change. Karen and I are going to continue with this new way of eating because to be frank with you it is not that bad. We feel better. We really dont want to go back to our "old" ways but slapping butter on top of just about everything we eat. When we had steaks I would find the biggest one I could. Not now. I am learning how to cook with Tofu and learning a lot of wonderful dishes using different spices. We like our food spicy (not hot spicy, spicy for flavor) and I've adjusting recipies we like more to our taste. I use meatless crumbles for chili, tacos, nachos and spaghetti. I found a recipe in my Thursday Sun Sentinel called "Tofu veggie nuggets". They are actually really good! I put them in pasta for meatballs or they are good by themselves. I'm going to get with a friend to learn how to cook Tofu for stir fry and other meals. I haven't been successful with figuring it out on my own so I need a little help. All in all this past month has been very eye opening~! Most people think we're nuts but we like what we are doing and plan to stick with it. Who knows....maybe one day I'll have my own cooking show...LOL .... I WISH~~
