RE: Getting 'VEGAN' W/ it! You'll be Surprised When You Find Out What I Eat! Hint: It's NOT What You Think! ๐๐
Your approach is so refreshing to the some of the other vegans I have met. I love the vegan principle, but not yet thought about it too hard as have two youngish children to cater for too. Perhaps I'll try one vegan meal a week and grow from there. Your recipes look divine.
Hi @hopehuggs :) I don't think any other approach is effective. It sure didn't work on me, I can't understand why we do that to each other! I don't seek to change people if they don't want but do want to inspire them and help them if they do! <3 I make almost all of my meals in response to food I am familiar with already. For example, I made a take on mac and cheese on the weekend which honestly tasted pretty dang close to KD! I am saving up recipes for my own future children as I share with my nieces and nephews who all love Aunties treats! My advice is to not even make a fuss about it, kids are too smart, if they think you're taking something away from them they freak out but my kiddies don't even know they are eating healthier and I'm less afraid to let them have more since the ingredients are natural. I'm happy to help, I post a bunch of recipes on my blog but I can also help you directly if you ever would like don't hesitate to ask =D
Also, I started #veganwednesday which just passed this week but might be a fun way to get you thinking about that one day a week, you can post your experience in there and interact with the supportive community I am trying to grow :) I hope this helps a bit! I'm excited to hear what you think! <3
I will definitely go through your blog and pick a recipe. Thank you have helped me decide to definitely to start one vegan meal a week. Thank you for the offer of support and I will keep you updated on how we go. I will even try an alternative to chicken in my chicken curry, as that is one of our absolute favourite dinners.
Took our first step today, bought a vegan spread for bread etc and it is really much more yummy than the dairy alternatives.
I'm curious to know about the vegan spread! =D Where abouts are you in the world @hopehuggs?
I'm in the UK, it's from my local supermarket Aldi.
What's in it?
I just love hearing this! Not necessarily because you've chosen vegan but because you're making a dietary change! I love being able to help people through the transition <3 I am happy to be here for support! Hmmm curry... OK, I use mushrooms and tofu to get the meat texture in curry. The great part is, it's almost hard to tell because of everything else going on in there. I never missed meat in it! <3 I'll be sure to post more recipes as well. =D I was working closely with a friend for the last maybe half a year and she went from eating nachos and pasta every day to now surprising me every time she sends me her food diary and she's doing fantastic, running marathons and is overall happier and more full of energy! I hope you find similar benefits <3
I've bought some Quorn chicken to give it a whirl the first time, but will try to experiment more and I look forward to trying some of your recipes out to.
I'm not sure what that is to be honest with you! A lot of the "vegan" products are actually super unhealthy, I would be keen to keep an eye on the ingredients! I don't want to be steering you wrong at all! I use coconut oil in sub of butter and really watch out for filers and chemicals in a lot of the packaged products. <3
