Hello,
Today is day 3 of my 365 days of Vegetarianism, and my first day of Vegan. I guess I need to come up with a tracking system or I'll lose count of the Vegan days.
Today began (incredibly) at 10am. I think something is genetically wrong with my kids. 10am. Whose kids get up then? I made Vegan pancakes. You don't really think of pancakes in this way, but they have eggs and milk in them witch is definitely animal. They were okay, but the consistency is different, I think it's the egg missing. Still they were yummy. I think the key to being successful as a Vegan / Veggie convert is not to expect things to taste the same.
At lunch time I discovered that my fave Campbell's soups are off the vegan list. The Vegetable being made with beef broth (dumb) and Mushroom being made with milk *sigh*. Anyone have good alternatives?
Ploenta Pie for supper. Not bad.
Boring I know, but so very drained today.

Yeah, that is true. You can't expect things to taste the same, you just have to look for stuff that tastes *good*.
ReplyDeleteHere's a good secret for vegan pancakes - shredded apples. It gives them a great flavour and moistens them up a bit too. You could also use applesauce that you make (regular applesauce has sugar, which is bleached with animal bone) but putting apples in a pot with cane juice or Sucanat and then mash.
I finally found a brand of soy milk I can drink - Sensational Soy. I just found out yesterday it is from a company called Parmalat, which is pretty bad. I'm trying to decide what to do about that, if anything.
Get the Fresh books out of the library, if they have them. I made and AWESOME tuscan white bean and pesto soup from that cookbook.
