vegan recipes

My ordering at a restaurant

I take food very seriously-- note picture. As we near Lent, I'm deciding to go vegan (except eggs), no caffeine, no sugar. I'm going to do this concurrently with my gym's 8-week fitness challenge-- hence the eggs (I can only eat so many beans and nuts). I'm starting to research meals because eating healthy is expensive, and money isn't my strong suit right now. I'm going to use this as a resource. I need to sign up for the 10k to keep me motivated to run. I'm swimming, doing kettle bells, yoga, etc., but I'm not doing it in a regimented, goal-oriented manner. So, I think planning is key to this venture. Having things on hand (and in pocketbook) is key to success.


Oatmeal Breakfast Bars These look like delicious and healthy snack bars, esp. if you replace the oil with apple sauce. Plus, they have to be cheaper than KIND bars.

Tofu Lettuce Wraps Looks yummy! But, I'm not sure I'll ever make them.

List of Simple Recipes This one serves as good ideas and has lists of alternatives for eggs, butter, etc. It has healthy, easy recipes for mashed potatoes, French toast, and other basics.

Mand, I miss you!!! The pic was from a great night out with siblings, cousins and friends. So fun. Are you giving up anything for Lent? How are things? I was thinking about hearing Safiya laugh over the phone this morning, and it made me smile.
