The Last Day

Wow. It's been a whole month. Some may see it as a day before I can eat the box of Samoas in my freezer, but I see it as the last day of an adventure. An experience that I will never forget. Now don't get me wrong, tomorrow I'm going to Olive Garden and getting the biggest plate of seafood I can. But I could see myself doing this again in the future, which I why I have decided to become a pescatarian. I will eat no meat, except for fish and seafood. I will consume dairy as a part of this diet. I have decided to do this because I believe that this diet will help me live a healthier lifestyle. I'll keep you posted on when my recipe site comes out. Stay healthy!🍎🍏🍊🍋🍒🍇🍉🍓🍑🍈🍌🍐🍍🍠🍆🍅🌽

Juice, ew, sometimes

Ugh. Juice. The most important thing about juice is to use a recipe. If you just toss a bunch of things together like I did, the most fitting term for what happens when you drink it is "Gastric Exorcism". 

I came up with this with things I found in my kitchen. Not only did it taste disgusting but I got really sick after. Similar to a juice cleanse, it's flushing out all the bad thins in your body. Unfortunately, there's only one way out, and it ain't pretty.

However, if you follow a recipe, like I did, you can get some pleasing results:

I used this recipe and it was absolutely delicious! The strawberry was a tad overpowering but other than that, it was great! I'm learning new things everyday!

Tofu mania!!!

During this first week, tofu was a large part of my diet. I found out the hard way that you need Extra Firm tofu, instead of Firm, which was the one I bought. I learned that when you prepare it, you need to press and drain it first, as to get all the excess water out. Then you need to marinate it. A lot. Tofu is a flavorless lump but it can taste delicious when you give it flavor. I used soy sauce. To cook it, I sautéed it and one night I made a tofu scramble, which is basically scrambled eggs, made from tofu. Here are some pictures:

First week

Wow. The first week of my vegan diet was, well, interesting. I tried many new things for the first time, such as, Kale, Tofu, and brussel sprouts. And juicing. Don't forget the juice.
