Happy One Month Veganniversary to ME! :D

Today is my one month Veganniversary!!! I cant believe I did it. I did admittingly slip a couple of times but the majority of my eating is Vegan! YAY! So happy! I am also starting a Vegan Challenge Group on Facebook in January to get others interested in becoming Vegan!

 

 

Gardein Fishless Filets are YUMMY!

I have always been a fan of seafood, when I lived in Mexico I had the best fried fish ever...with pico de gallo, corn tortilla, avocado, lemon and salt. I have always loved Red Lobster Sampler Platter too.

So I definitely had to try these as a Vegan and they were absolutely delicious and had the same familiar flavor as real fish!

I decided to make them as fish tacos. So I put them in the microwave for a minute, then grilled them on the stove for 5 minutes on each side. Then grilled my corn tortillas and then placed them on a plate on my corn tortillas with tomato, onion, jalapenos and avocado. DELICIOUS! ***Picture Below***

My Alternative to Hot Dogs Review

Let me first talk about Yves 'The Good Dog' looking at the ingredients I am assuming its a soy dog and I believe I had grilled it in the pan to give it maximum flavor and I am sorry Yves but it wasnt pleasant at all.

 It tasted rubbery. There was something else about the taste I didnt like neither. I couldnt finish it. Even though I added bun, ketchup, mustard, onion and jalapenos. It was a no go and ended up giving them to my dogs.

The next dog I tried was a veggie dog from MorningStar Farms. Now this time, I was hesitant about trying it because of what happened last time. It gave me 3 cooking options - grill, boil or microwave. Well, this time I decided to microwave instead of grill. It only took about a minute based on the instructions.

Now this time, I added just the bun, ketchup, mustard and jalapenos. It was actually really good and tasted very close to a real hot dog! A little relieved but also a little disappointed as this is more of a vegetarian product vs vegan. But I figure the less harm the better. :)

Vegansgiving

Ever since I could remember Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday and not because of what we were brainwashed to believe but because of the food and time with my family.

Before I became a Vegan our Thanksgiving dishes consisted of the turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, rolls and pumpkin pie.

This year, I decided to go Vegan and I am already planning on how to play out my Thanksgiving since I still want to celebrate and enjoy my holiday but with a conscious.

From what I understand Tofurky is not very good but Celebration Roast is. So I was lucky enough to pick me up one. This I found Herb stuffing with no dairy ingredients in it. I normally have mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls and pumpkin pie with it as well.

I will be sure to post my menu! :D
