I have decided to undergo a new challenge. In the name of trying new things I have decided to go vegan/vegetarian for the WHOLE* month of November.
I think the idea is to start off vegan but if it gets inconvenient to go vegetarian. I have enlisted the help of a very handsome guy who is amazing at motivating me and is one of my best friends in the whole entire world to help me through this difficult time. This man would be my little wittle brudder who isn't so wittle anymore. He lived in California for two whole years and always wanted to try it out. I think he was originally thinking a week but when I called and enlisted his support he without a beat was on board for the whole* month. His girlfriend is even on board for a week! Way to be a good sport! Now, I know you are all wondering how this Texas girl who loves her steak still bleeding is going to go vegetarian. Well, like I said... it is only for a month* and I fully intend on eating a full cow when I am done! I just thought it would be cool to try. I want to see how much self control I really have and if it really is that great. So... here's to self control and saving a cow in the month of November....though the Turkey better still watch out!
* Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the whole year! I fully intend on breaking my lifestyle on Thanksgiving and seeing as my birthday is the day after Thanksgiving and I will probably go out to celebrate I think I will be done with Vegetarianism. I also reserve the right to break my lifestyle one or two other times in the month. This isn't going to be hard core...just something to do. Because I am going to take a few days I have also given my brother four free days.
Remember seasoning things well. I have an incredible ratatouli recipe with tofu, it may be something else, but mercy its great. I learned that tofu is actually good when seasoned well. It absorbs all the flavors around it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, learn different ways to cook your veggies.
Oh, and lentils and rice are a complete protein and seriously good. Again, if you don't season it, its pretty bland.
Good luck! I hope you enjoy it!
I love this! I tried it before, but when I realized that apparently Veganism meant no leather purses.. that ended fast. But I love animals so much, I would love to have the self control to give up meat. I should try it too!
