Day 2

so... Day 2: First of all, thank you everyone who has sent encouraging words. It really helps!! Secondly, I just want to say that I went shopping yesterday to restock my cabinets and it shocked me that it is WAY cheaper to eat vegan! I mean, even with high ticket items like white truffle oil (yum) and lots of produce, it was still cheaper to restock my whole kitchen then when I just go to pick up a few things. Just think about it; the main protein, which is the main cost for most people is meat, and a package of meat that serves 2 or 3 people is like $6 or $7. With a plant-based diet, the main protein is beans and a bag of beans(which makes like 10 servings, by the way) is like $2! I was pleasantly surprised.
Anyways, I made my first vegan dinner last night and it was YUMMY!! I made brown rice with beans and Sicilian kale to mix in. If you have never tried kale... TRY IT!! it's delicious. Even Erin loved it. I realized that I forgot to mention that the Kind Diet includes cutting out white sugar and processed foods. This is going to be the hardest part! However, I did it at breakfast this morning and it was very delicious! I had oatmeal with maple syrup and craisins mixed in! mmmm
I know many of you are skeptical, and so am I... but so far so good! I am cooking dinner for my sister in law tonight and she is very scared, HAHA! I hope to convince her though! I am making Radicchio pizza drizzled with olive oil and white truffle oil! Then some pasta with marinara sauce in case she doesn't like that. Wish me luck!
