It's not all just rice and veggies.

From the beginning, I had always thought vegan food meant only veggies and a lot of rice. But once again, I was proven wrong. My friend Maria and I went to eat vegan food at this cute little site around Pasadena. Spoiler alert, it was One Veg World. I went all out. I ordered a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (in the picture, my Snapchat was being all weird and posted the picture before I could change the caption!). The food was cooked perfectly by the cook. I was almost unable to finish this dish, I was so full.

Not only did I order that amazing sandwich, but I decided to treat myself. I bought a chocolate on chocolate cake, It. Was. AMAZING. And I also bought a donut, I saved that one for later, don't worry. It was incredible!

So yeah. I have learned that vegan food is not only veggies and rice, or veggies and quinoa. It is a more complex side of our culinary world. And I love it.

Love,

Ana

You don't know what you have until you can't have it

I almost never crave meat. Except now when I cannot have it.

I did not notice that my fridge was filled up with red meats, eggs, milk, cheese, chicken, and ice cream, until I couldn't eat it anymore. But don't worry, I tried eating it all last week so I didn't waste any food. My roommates are happy I gave them all of it though, at least someone wins in this situation. My friend Valeria already called dibs on my chicken nuggets, I guess it's a good thing, since I was planning on hiding them and sneak one or two every once in a while. Guilty.

I'm glad French Fries are vegan, I would cry if I at least didn't get to keep my French fries.

I'll try to keep you guys posted! (I'll try not to have any emotional breakdowns meanwhile)

Love and hunger,

Ana

Vegan Month Challenge.

This blog for my English class has inspired me to go vegan for a month (and then let's see how it goes?).
My best friend is vegan, and she has encouraged me to become healthy as well, since over the years I have had many (and I mean MANY) stomach issues.
Now, starting Monday, March 7th... I will have an all-vegan diet with my best friend's support.

Wish me luck!
I guess.
