The Challenge

30 days of plant-based foods, including plenty of fruits and vegetables, grains and legumes and no meat, dairy, eggs or animal products. Yes, we bribed them with rewards at the end of the 30 days and no, we are no expecting them to be 100% perfect. During the 30 days, we have a Superbowl Party, a Birthday, Valentine's Day and numerous kids parties and class parties.

Day 5: Pizza Night!

Breakfast:
cereal with coconut milk/almond milk (or dry)

Lunch:
Peanut butter sandwiches, apples and crackers (D and E)
T brought a veggie burger to heat up, along with crackers and apples
Mom ate a leftover baked potato with broccoli and Daiya cheese, and an orange

Dinner:
Pizza

Tonight was a true test, pizza night!  We made a whole wheat crust (nice and thin) and used Daiya Cheddar and Mozzarella cheeses on your standard pizza sauce.  Mom's pizza had zucchini slices, tomatoes, radicchio and spinach and, of course, nobody appreciated the beauty but mom.  Dad and E ate 2 slices, D and T just ate one.  So they ate the "fake" cheese pizza without any complaints, but definitely not the 3 or 4 slices they usually down.  We ate and had to run out the door so I kind of forgot to make a salad or add any veggies.  We will do better about that next time.



Our snag for the day was with Dad.  For the second day in a row, he forgot to pack a lunch.  Yesterday, he was able to come home and eat.  Today, he totally came thru and ran into Whole Foods Market and got a big ol' salad.  We really need to set aside time at night to prepare for the next day or we are bound to run into trouble.
