31-Day Vegan Challenge

After weeks of watching videos of people’s vegan journeys, I decided to take that challenge for a month, and bring in some friends to take the challenge with me. Thanks friends!!

So 31 days later, and I must say it actually was a pretty good month. I did not starve, contrary to belief after the first two days. (I went to the grocery store with no type of plan. I just bought fruits and veggies, until I got home and realized I still needed things to make actual meals. 🥴)

Pinterest helped me with recipes and Google helped me make sure that what I was eating was actually vegan. They were both CRUCIAL for this challenge, and maybe I can encourage someone else to do a vegan challenge.

Here are a few of my vegan creations, along with some of the links to the recipes: (I’m no food photographer.)

And I CAN’T forget the vegan wine:

Overall, I would rate this challenge a 4 out of 5. I already only eat two types of meat (turkey and seafood) so that wasn’t too bad, though there were days I really wanted a nice pantrout plate with the white bread that’s right underneath the pantrout to soak up all that flavor. I also missed having a nice, cheesy pizza and a good omelet.

This process also pushed me to cook more. Vegans really be COOKING cooking, and child I was TIRED. I felt like I was making elaborate holiday meals every time I cooked something.

Though the challenge is over, I’m going to continue with some vegan recipes. This won’t be a daily thing though, so if you see me in these streets with non-vegan food items, that’s my business. Mind yours.
