Eating Vegan

We just finished a full week of eating vegan. I could check off #92.
It was a tough challenge. Not the meat part so much as the dairy.
My favorite food group is cheese. You know it's time to go grocery shopping when the feta runs out, and heaven forbid not having parmesan in the fridge.
But it was a fun challenge!

Here are a few helpful hints, should you decide to try to go vegan for the week:
1. Don't have bacon sitting in the fridge. It will taunt you. Every time you go in there for a glass of water.
2. Make sure you have more meals in mind, and shopped for, than you'll need. Certainly don't plan on eating peanut butter and jelly more than probably twice. You'll want more variety than that.
3. Bananas are a great snack.
4. If you decide to make eggplant parmesan for dinner, it's a good idea to do a separate container of chicken nugget parmesan for the kids. They'll thank you.
5. Take your daughter's picture. She's cute.
