I mentioned last week that there was lots of fun coming this February.  One thing on the list was my 2 week vegan challenge.  I want to preface this challenge with the fact that I have no plans on going permanently vegan.  I love eggs and Greek yogurt too much and I’m still on the fence about whether or not everyone can survive healthfully on this lifestyle.

That being said –

• eating more vegan meals each week can be beneficial to your health
• veganism is kind to our planet and can be a good way to conserve energy
• while I don’t have a moral issue with consuming dairy, I do have an issue with much of the United State’s commercial dairy

For all the reasons above, and to help mix up my dietary rut, I’ve decided to spend the next two weeks completely vegan.  No meat, dairy, or animal products of any sort (although I haven’t quite made up my mind about honey).  Expect to see me try some new products, try some new recipes, and finally make something other than chili from Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan!

I’m off to the store (it seems like all we have in our fridge is yogurt!) but please stop by and offer me advice, recipes, criticisms, whathaveyou.
