To veg or not to veg...

Btw, I had my WHOLE FREAKING POST done, clicked publish and it deleted all of it below the break line. My blood is boiling.

So I've been attempting to go vegetarian, vegan where possible, since Saturday. So far its going alright. Yes, only alright.

At the moment, I am throughly annoyed due to a botched attempt at making vegan almond biscotti. I just wasted a cup of organic sugar, half a cup of olive oil, and two cups of whole wheat pastry flour. That shit's expensive!!!


Lacey is currently not a happy camper in the vegan department but I do have a pot full of sauteed sugar cooling on my stove at the moment. Anybody want some??



I really don't feel like typing all of the stuff over again that I had before. It was a long-ass post even for my standards.

I borrowed some books from the libary. The one lady is a total whack job. I can't wait to take her book back. Her nutritional info was helpful but her suggested 21-day meal plan is rediculous. I am NOT eating Daikon, Carrot and Winter Squash stew for breakfast. Give me a break. Its crazies like her that give vegetarians and vegans a bad rapp.

I'm having a hard time finding the "weird" products in our small town stores. Its a work in progress but its going.

I'm off to try to find some "normal" recipes with "normal" ingredients.

If anybody finds my deleted post floating around in blog land, let me know.

I'm a little burnt out on working out so I'm taking it easy this week since my training for the half starts next tuesday, as you all well know. (there I go with my imaginary fan club again. haha hilarious)

Until next time and completely frustrated at the moment,

-Lacey

I could easily be a vegetarian but my husband is pretty much a carnivore. It's just easier to make dinner with both of us eating meat. I could never do the vegan thing. I love yogurt and cheese too much!

hi lacey,

do you have access to indian cookbooks? i find that most indian recipes are vegetarian, some even vegan. there are recipes that include meats but they can easy be omitted and you still end up with a tasty dish.
some might think indian is heavy, but it's up to you how much oil or ghee you use.
auyrvedic cookbooks go even further and tell what each dosha should eat...

I'm alive! I swear!

Yes, I'm here! I swear I'm here! I've had about a kazillion things going on and haven't had the time to blog. I've k...
