Hello to all my Steemians !!

For some time I had been interested in the vegan lifestyle, but not serious or motivated enough to do it. Not until I stumble across @heart-to-heart vegan challenge.

The contest consists of recording all your meals following the vegan diet for 22 days. Easy right?!... at times.
Here's a link to the contest for details.

One of the firsts things I did to prepare for success ... take a trip to the farmers market.

This week was a bit tough because I was not able to eat all the snacks I normally eat. I will say trying new recipes and knowing is all good energy source makes it all worth the while. One think I forgot to take pictures of is my daily cup of coffee.

Do you know any great must try vegan recipes let me know :)

Let all you do be done in love, ❣️ @splendorhub

Sort:  

I would expect nothing less from a Cali girl ;P

@splendorhub Bell peppers and ranch dressing taste good. I can't imagine I would be happy with this diet. Are you sticking with it?

Is going. I miss my eggs, honey, donuts and my homemade burger.
Splendor's burger: patty,sauteed mushrooms, jalapenos, bacon, avocado..oh and grilled onions all day. Lettuce /tomato. You should give this diet a go lol.

What kind of veggie pattie? I used to eat some that were ok but they had cheese

carrot and bean patty :)'

Just great! Well done and keep eating healthy, also organic, ok?

you are beautiful, it's good to eat healthy vegan

Awsome! I've always wanted to try out an vegan diet. Good luck for your journey xx

The great recipes have opened my eyes, and we have a long history of vegetarian culture in China. For example, we can make tofu taste like meat. We have a chance to understand and understand. We can communicate with each other.
很棒的菜谱,让我大开眼界,在我们中国素食文化也有很久的历史,如我们可以把豆腐做出肉的味道,有机会你可以了解了解,我们可以互相交流。

I'm not Asian but I cook many Asian dishes. How's that tofu meat tasting recipe? :)'

I agree with you! I'm from Canada originally but now I live in Indonesia and have been learning for quite some time how to make tofu taste like meat. It's delicious and there are so many recipes and options to learn! I wish that it was more common in North America :)

@splendorhub so I guess Morton's Steak House is now out of the question ??

STK for me lol, and yes the door has been shut. :)

I don't mean to Scare You but this Woman in this Video is a Nurse and was a VEGAN. You may find this good info. What is cool she is on YouTube and I bet she may even answer any questions you have about your new direction in nutrition...........

Thank you for this info. The ingredients she focuses are not necessarily my favs. I will do more research. Is best to know and not use it then to need it and not have it :D Happy Sunday !

Hey @stokjockey :) I am just responding to this because I am the one who started this contest that the author (@splendorhub) is participating in right now :)

I just want to say that since becoming vegan, all of my illnesses have actually gone completely away or decreased substantially. There are many scientific studies to prove this, but in the end, every BODY is different and needs different things. I think it's important to note that many vegans eat terrible food. They take out meat but replace it with filfthy, unhealthy stuff and that isn't good either so it's really in the end about eating healthy, well balanced, nutritious meals :)

Try not to let certain videos like this scare you, there are plenty on the reverse side equally fear mongering and I just want everyone to trust themselves and aim toward a more healthy and whole existence :)

Eating seems delicious
But I have to taste it first to judge your professionalism
But I see that there are some potatoes that are burned hahaha

I prefer crispy fries, pancakes and waffles hehe... good eye tho. Happy Sunday

Good work with the food. Oh, I like to eat vegan too sometimes when I am not eating meat hehe.

So proud of you! I've been vegetarian for a while but mostly eat vegan. It gets easier as the months go by

Thank you! Some of the stuff I've cooked already are super tasty.
