I'm not making them do this challenge with me but they have been going along with me for the ride. Tonight for dinner my guy made an entire vegan dinner for the whole family. I have not tried either one yet but plan to do so tomorrow. I got soy yogurt in peach and strawberry and vegan American flavored cheese. I searched at Auldies, Walmart and my local grocery store to find soy yogurt, vegan cheeses and other items such as vegan sausage but if the store had something it was very limited in the options. Giant has a couple of aisles devoted to natural, organic, vegan and vegetarian items. I have to say I was highly impressed with the choices available.
So on our shopping endeavour we went to the new Giant which opened in Tannersville, PA. However, I have been snacking on peanuts, peanut butter, banana chips, and other healthy alternatives that do have protein. The one big complaint about the two photos I have put up was that I don't have enough protein in the dishes.
Lots of my friends on facebook are encouraging, supporting and giving me advice about being vegan. Next on the list was the showerhead and then we were off to find a few vegan products for myself. Ours broke while attending our friends wedding in Maryland.įirst we purchased a lot of items for the donation center including kitty food, dog food, people food and other stuff that the shelters are in need of. We also went shopping for some grocery items and a new shower head. Today, my guy and I, went shopping for items to bring to the Lehigh Valley Donation Center on Monday. Staying away from dairy products is getting easier with those results. I'm 9 days into the plan and have lost 6 pounds. A bonus: the side salad has no cheese so no having to pick it off. If I go to McDonald's again while on the vegan plan, I will be trying the fruit and walnut salad which looks delicious. I ordered a side salad with low fat Italian dressing and a small order of fries. I found it very easy to order off the Value Menu. I was very proud of my youngest son who decided to skip fries and get apples instead with his Happy Meal. On Monday, we went out to do some volunteer work with the Lehigh Valley Donation Center. Other options available were Eggplant wraps, Veggie Wraps and Eggplant Hero's. Overall, it wasn't bad nor was it that difficult to eat out during the weekend. It would have been nice to have other veggie options to add without the price going up too. I put some Italian dressing on the hero and found it was pretty good. No big loss since I had plenty of dressing options. However, the resteraunt did not put oil and vinegar on it as was stated on the menu. I opened my Veggie Hero and was surprised to find it packed with lettuce, tomato, onions, black olives and sweet peppers. The wings were more tempting as they smelled delicious. First, I really don't care for pepperoni so the pizza was a turn off. After not having cheese or meat for a week, the smells of it all did seem tempting.
I called up and order a pepperoni pizza for the guys and a large order of hot wings with garlic knots. The pizza place across the street actually had a few items on the list that I could purchase. Luckily, while at work we had a phone book with resteraunt menus. But since I am staying away from cheese and dairy products on the 21 day vegan kickstart this was going to be one of my first challenges as a vegan. Not a bad idea since that is normally the most cost effective meal for us. Over the weekend, my guys decided they wanted pizza for dinner since we were having company come over.
