So we watched this documentary this week called Eating. It was all about how having a plant based diet is better for your body and the earth and all that jazz. The long and short is that we are going to give it a go. I have been trying for years to foist vegetarian dishes down my meat loving husbands throat, and I am actually pretty interested in trying to make a go of this. We work out pretty hard, so I have been trying to figure out how a vegan diet will give us enough protein. I still have some research to do so I can properly plan a balanced menu. We also need to finish eating our fridge full of milk and cheese.
To celebrate our decision, we had dinner at Five Guys Burgers to ah, have one last hurrah. And I am making my super awesome chicken soup this weekend, because I am not sure how long our culinary expirement will last and want it one more time before soup season ends.
I did pick up some interesting vegan products today though. I got soy and almond based cheese. Almond and soy milk (The hubby says Soymilk tastes like Chlorophyll-this is going to be real interesting folks). Lots of nuts. This stuff called Mimicreme, which is a almond/cashew based coffee creamer. I think Earthfare will be seeing a lot more of the Cassinos, where I hit up the bulk section for lentils, TVP (textured veggie protien) and nutritional yeast.
So we are going to finish what dairy/meat we have and then start a new way of eating. I found a recipe for tomorrow for Acorn squash stuffed with veggies and tofu. I love acorn squash, so I am looking forward to it.
And so we embark on a brave new journey....
