Day 1

The day went pretty well.  We went to the grocery store last night just to see what fun kinds of fruits and veggies we might want to try.  We found some little purple potatoes, eggplant, pineapple, apples, pears, parsnips, grapes and a kabocha squash!  We didn't get a weeks worth of groceries, but a pretty decent start that I think will probably get us thru a few days and our total was $44.21.

Breakfast:
Strawberry, Kiwi, Banana Smoothies (everybody but D)
Steel Cut Oats (Mom and E)
Cheerios for D(dry, yuck)

Lunch:
Veggie Burgers
Apples

Dinner:
Roasted purple potatoes
Salad with spinach, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes and avocados
Homemade wheat bread

Today was the first day of the Vegan Experience.

I tried a sip of a fruit smoothie and I didn’t think that it was the best thing but it sure didn’t taste too good. I am about to eat some Cheerios for breakfast; I hope I am not to picky next time because I am going to have to try lots of different things…

I am at the end of the first day of the Vegan Experience. So far I have had some great vegan foods. For lunch we all had some vegan burgers. The burgers were made of grain and soy. They still tasted pretty good though. For dinner we all had purple potatoes, some salad, and homemade bread. It was an amazing dinner. Even though it was vegan. You know sometimes eating vegan things doesn’t always mean that it is going to taste bad.

The Vegan Experience has been a great experience so far. I think I am actually going to make it through this whole thing…
