I've been cooking up a vegan storm these past few days. I made my own cereal using oats, flax, coconut, peanut butter, maple syrup, and dried cranberries. It's amazing with unsweetened almond milk.
Using a box of portobello mushroom soup, I added veggies and soba noodles. Everyone loved this mushroom soup!
I made some Asian veggie wraps using peanut and hoisin sauce, Napa cabbage, bean sprouts, mushrooms, and water chestnuts wrapped in a tortilla.
We had a couple bags of tortilla chips laying around, so I decided to make a dip using quinoa, black beans, avocado, and pre-packed pico de gallo. This dip was amazing and I can't wait to make it again.
With all my fun-filled cooking adventures, I am succeeding at being vegan and loving it. People always tell me that it will be impossible for my appetite to be satisfied without eating meat, but now I know for sure that they are wrong. I never feel hungry and when I do, I eat a couple of grape tomatoes and I'm good to go until I can prepare the next meal.
On top of everything else, I feel great physically and emotionally. I could use more sleep, but my sleep clock is in sync with my 10-month-old baby who still likes to nurse at 3 a.m. Despite not getting enough sleep, I feel much better than before I started on my vegan journey, and it's only been 5 days. Just 5 days of no meat, dairy, or eggs and I feel wonderful!
I've decided that I'm going to kick my coffee habit now. I do enjoy having something warm to sip on during the winter months, so I'm going to look for some loose-leaf teas on my next shopping trip. For now, I'm going with the free bags of Lipton tea that is provided at the office.
Here's to another wonderful day! What am I going to eat next?
