Vegetable Based Update

The avocado pasta was supposed to look like this but it really turned out looking like baby food on noodles.

A few weeks ago Chris and I decided to go change our diet to a vegetable based system. Basically we decided to go vegan (mind you we're super strict about it and if we eat out or go to someone else's house we'll eat whatever). So far it's been great physically. I feel a lot better, I have more energy and we've tried new things that we probably wouldn't have before like creamy avocado pasta (which, by the way was absolutely disgusting both times I made it). The hard part for me is coming up with meals. In my mind a meal is still meat, a starch and some vegetables and I can't shake it. Coming up with well rounded tasty vegan meals has been a challenge for me and I find I'm missing meat not because of how good it tastes but because of how easy it is to build a meal around it. But I will crusade on through this vegetable based maze and hopefully come out on the other side a better and much healthier cook.
