Trying something new

Ah, Fruits and Veggies

Yep, trying something new (hopefully for a long time).  I really don’t know what prompted this and I guess it really doesn’t much matter.  The fact is I wanted to get healthy and wanted to make a difference (in my own small way).  So I have become a  vegetarian and I am working my way towards vegan. 

Like I said I am not sure what put the bug in my head.  I don’t even know why I started looking into the treatment of  farm animals.  I mean, deep down I knew somewhat of what was happening but just turned a blind eye to it.  I have always said that if I had to raise and kill my own meat that I would never eat it again.  The more I saw, and the more I read, the more it just starting eating at me.  Not to mention the health benefits from not eating meat, dairy etc…

It has only been a few days so far.  So far so good though! I have given up all meats, processed foods, and anything I find or know that contains animal products except milk and some butter.  I am still having milk cause I drink it in my coffee and so far I have been unable to do without it.  Although I am substituting some of my coffee for hot green tea.  Also I haven’t had a soda in like 3 days.  Yes I know that isn’t long, but for me to not have any soda at all for that long is BIG for me.  And so far I have found that I don’t miss it.

Tonight I am going to try out my first Tofu recipe.  A very easy Fried Tofu that I will top my salad with.  I have had tofu before and anytime I did, it was good.  Just hope I can cook it as well.

Hopefully I will get things more and more figured out and update you as I do.
