My Vegan Adventure - Week Two

Week Two is over and I messed it up quite a bit. You see, Sunday was Mother's Day so hubby and daughter did all the cooking; and the meal plan (especially on the weekends) is quite a lot of work. Besides that I REALLY wanted eggs for my traditional Mother's Day breakfast. We got our eggs from a local farmer who treats his chickens quite well so I have no guilt there (the bacon and sausage is another story but we'll pretend it didn't happen : / )

Since I didn't do any of the cooking on Sunday we didn't have the left overs to use as lunches for the next few days therefore we were forced to improvise.

Also, on Friday my daughter's best friend slept over. Long story short we strayed from the meal plan on Friday and Saturday.    :(

Ah well, pobody's nerfect as they say.

For the most part we stuck with the breakfasts and had a few of the lunches and dinners as scheduled. There were actually a few items on the menu this week that I regret not making; like the kidney bean burgers and the Tamari Stir Fry.

One thing we did have, and it turned out marvellous, was Coconut Rice with Sweet Potato Curry! Another surprise was the Lemon Dill Bean Dip. Surprisingly good.

Tonight's dinner, Mashed Potatoes with Peas and Tamari Sautéed Mushrooms was good but not very filling. Guess it's time for a snack.

Tomorrow is shopping day for the start of Week Three and I am going to try and pre-cook some of the main
items to help stay on track the rest of the week. I am also going to try and give up milk for the week. I've been resisting. I really enjoy a glass of milk with dinner but I think it's time to try and forego it.

Until next week!
