Vegan: Here We Come

After watching 'Forks Over Knives', my husband, William, decided we should try going vegan for a while. He has had some high blood pressure, high cholesterol and was ready to change.

So, here we go - VEGAN it is.

Today we went to Whole Foods for our first look at what vegan had to offer us. We were armed & ready with our list for our planned vegan meals this week. It was a little pricey going to Whole Foods but since we are cutting out alcohol and won't be eating out as much, it should balance out. Plus there's no price you can put on feeling better and healthier in the long run. Once we get in the groove with some recipes and knowing what vegan options are at each store we frequent, we will be able to head to the the Dekalb Farmer's Market for discounted produce, too. William got really excited when he saw all the "meatless" options of sausages, burgers, etc.

Here's some, but not all, of our gatherings:



On the docket for this week's dinners are:

Tofu & Black Bean Tacos
Orange Sesame Noodles
Spaghetti & Vegan Meatballs
Thai Spring Rolls
and possibly some Vegan burgers or something else left over.

I will let you know how this goes. I am excited to be a little more healthy with William...

I am not going to think about Thanksgiving right now...
