By the way, yes, I'm still eating vegan. Well, vegan-ish, at least. :) Still no red meat or chicken (and honestly, still no desire!), but I have given myself the pleasure of sushi at least twice a month (I told you...I spoil myself). Also, within the past few weeks, I have leaked some cheese back into my diet. I'm pretty sure I don't have to explain how something like this might happen after 6 months of not having it. :) But, on the up side, I have still kept to keeping the foundation of my diet as natural and nutritious as possible, and these allowances are more the exception than the norm.This week has brought with it some great motivating tips from my mother and has gotten me re-invigorated to start cooking and eating better.. stay AWAY from the french fries! :) In the end, this whole experience has nothing to do with what anyone expects or thinks of me.. it has been for my own personal satisfaction to enforce SOME restrictions on what I put into my body and assure myself there is a whole world of options when it comes to eating decisions. Plus, I feel a whole lot less guilty about contributing to the torture of animals. But that's a whole other story. :)
On that note, here's some highlights of what went on in my cooking kick this evening: some homemade whole wheat pasta salad and some freshmade vegan potato salad (including some fresh cilantro..and veganaise, of course! LoL) I had a fork full of each and I have to say it..."Damn I'm good!!!"
