Hello!

Taking a nod from Julie and Julia, i am going to use inspiration from the book The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone to try to become a vegan. I know... CRAZY! However, I have never been much of a meat eater. In fact, I think I have always been a vegan trapped inside a chicken, fish, and dairy lover's body! This will be difficult, but after reading this book and learning about the damages that meat and dairy have on your body, along with the horrific treatment of animals, and the harmful affects on the planet, I am totally encouraged and ready for this life change. So, the plan is to slowly tranform my diet over 21 days, because that is how long it takes to change a habit. I will be making recipes from Alicia's book and telling you all about the craziness! It should be an interesting journey: battling with my oh-so-meat-loving fiance, ensuring my family that I am NOT a crazy hippie, and sharing the journey with you. So get ready!
Today is day 1: I will be heading to the Kroger(there are no Whole Foods or Fresh Markets in sight in good ole' Dandridge) to attempt to find the healthy, whole foods that I need to change my diet. Then, off to the house to clear out a section of my cabinets just for me and this crazy, exciting venture! So... WISH ME LUCK!!
