Coming up on the end of the second day of being a vegan, and today presented me with a small challenge. We went to my uncle's house with my entire family, and they ordered pizza. Several pizzas. After only a day and a half of being a vegan, pizza never smelled so good. It wasn't a challenge to stay away from the pizza, but it did worry me: if I'm already fantasizing about non-vegan food only 1.5 days in, what's it going to be like for the next three weeks? I learned today that it will definitely be a challenge to stay on this diet for 21 days. But, if it weren't a challenge, what would be the point? Still, I sat there with my vegan pita bread and salad and tried to ignore the gorgeous smells of pizza wafting past my nose. Drool.
For breakfast I had oatmeal, a banana, and juice. Lunch was a pita sandwich, salad with walnuts and sunflower seeds, and blueberries. Dinner is vegetable soup.
Here's how I made the pita sandwiches:
Cut 1 pita bread into 4 pieces
Spread hummus on two pieces of pita
Spread sundried tomato paste on the other two pieces
Put cucumber slices on hummus
Put carrots (or onion or sliced radishes) on the sundried tomatos
Put the hummus and sundried tomato pieces together to make two sandwiches
It was really pretty good! Kind of tasted like a cold veggie pizza ... at least, that's what I kept telling myself ...
Namarie.
